AQA GCSE Citizenship- Topic 2- Rights & Responsibilities. Lessons are planned to be delivered by non-specialists, they do not require any textbooks. Lessons are planned for 60 minutes unless stated in the description below. They incorporate a retrieval grid, teacher input, and a practice task that links to either direct exam questions, or practicing an exam based skill. Lesson 4: The Age of Criminal Responsibility Looking at the difference in ages of criminal responsibility across the UK, and a consideration of the reasons for Scotland’s increase. The lesson includes a documentary on Jamie Bulger, which students write a report about. If this is watched, this lesson could be stretched over 3 lessons. I however teach this over a double and make the report a homework task. Depends on your curriculum time.

Lesson 8/9: The nature of criminality in the UK I have put together these two lessons as Lesson 8 requires IT. There is a small amount of input on recorded crime statistics and the issues with them, students then research the current picture of crime in the UK. They can do this by sharing the worksheet electronically and students populate it using the link. Equally they could hand write it. Lesson 9 is not essential, however, it is a good contrast to the Summer riots of 2024. This lesson focuses on a documentary about the UK riots of 2011, students then write a report on the reasons for it starting. I have them start this in lesson, and finish as homework. If this was all completed in lesson, there is over 3 hours of learning in this bundle.
