These fun and engaging card sort resources are designed to help KS3 students explore and understand complex issues surrounding crime and punishment, while simultaneously developing their citizenship skills. Each resource encourages critical thinking, discussion, and ethical reasoning, which are essential components of being an informed citizen.
The first resource focuses on the topical issue of whether criminals should be released early. In this lesson, students will analyze various viewpoints and consequences of early release, enhancing their critical thinking and debate skills as they engage in discussions that promote respectful exchanges of ideas.
The second lesson evaluates the effectiveness of prison in protecting society from crime. Here, students assess the societal impacts of imprisonment versus rehabilitation, fostering evaluation skills and encouraging civic awareness as they consider community safety, justice and the rights of both victims and the criminals.
The third lesson delves into the moral and ethical implications surrounding the death penalty. Students engage with complex moral dilemmas, developing their ethical reasoning and promoting social responsibility by reflecting on human rights and ethical governance.
Lastly, the fourth lesson discusses the issue of bribery and corruption in society. This resource encourages students to think critically about solutions to corruption, while also emphasizing the importance of integrity and accountability in civic life.
By engaging with these resources, students will not only learn about the complexities of crime and punishment but also cultivate essential citizenship skills such as critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and social responsibility. These skills are vital for their development as informed and active members of society.
The module of work forms part of the Citizenship curriculum within School. It sets out to link the theme of ‘rights and responsibilities’ of our students at a local level of citizenship to the wider global context of human rights abuse.
The learning journey will see students explore Human Rights set out by the United Nations Convention of Children’s Human Rights before analysing abuses of such rights.
Case study examples are highlighted through the work of Amnesty International and the British Red Cross.
The concept of push pull factors are explained in relation to asylum seekers and refugees using a Doncaster context before tackling the issue of prejudice against such groups.

Henry VIII’s break with Rome set in play a series of events that dramatically changed our island history. The next two hundred years were riven with religious division between Catholics and Protestants that still haunt parts of the United Kingdom today.
In the immediate aftermath England changed it’s state religion several times, whilst both sides persecuted each other accusing the other side of being heretics. The most famous, but certainly not the most bloodiest, resulting in the deaths of 280 Protestant Martyrs during the reign of Queen Mary. Her sister Elizabeth executed far more Catholics whilst trying to come to a compromise through the Elizabethan Church Settlement Act, which left many feeling very unhappy. This led to the Catholics trying to kill King James I and Parliament in the Gunpowder Plot in 1605. Later in 1620, fearful of Catholic plots and further persecution for refusing to attend the Church of England’s services, the ‘Pilgrim Fathers’ leave England never to return in the hope of finding a place where they could freely practice their faith in North America. Later of course these divisions would explode into the English Civil War in 1642 and result in the execution of Charles I.

We asked Roy Huggins who was Head of History at Mexborough School for 27 years to create these resources based upon his first hand experience of working with the Doncaster Oral History Project, former miners and teaching this important turning point in Modern Britain,which has become a ‘hidden’ or ‘forgotten’ history due to the uncomfortable issues that it raises about policing and civil rights.

Henry VIII’s break with Rome set in play a series of events that dramatically changed the island history of Britain and led to both political and religious refugees seeking safety in North America in what would one day become know as the ‘The Land of the Free.’
The next two hundred years of British history were riven with religious divisions between Catholics and Protestants, that still haunt parts of the United Kingdom and Ireland today. If we wish to understand the origins of American character, then we have to first understand the rich fertile soil from which it sprang in England.
In the immediate aftermath of the ‘Break with Rome’ England changed it’s state religion several times, whilst both sides persecuted each other, accusing the other side of being heretics. The most famous, but certainly not the most bloodiest, resulting in the deaths of 280 Protestant Martyrs during the reign of Queen Mary. Her sister Elizabeth I executed far more Catholics whilst trying to come to a compromise through the Elizabethan Church Settlement Act, which left many feeling very unhappy. This ultimately led to the English Catholics trying to kill King James I and Parliament in the now infamous Gunpowder Plot in 1605. Later in 1620, fearful of Catholic plots and further persecution for refusing to attend the Church of England, the ‘Pilgrim Fathers’ left England never to return in the hope of finding a place where they could freely practice their faith in North America.
Later of course these divisions would implode into the English Civil War in 1642 and result in the execution of Charles I.The resulting conflicts would see thousands seeking religious toleration in North America.
