Nuclear Power Station Hinkley Point Stakeholder Debate
This is a lesson I used with year 10 as a stake holder debate over the issue of Hinkley Point C.
The lesson starts with a cartoon about nuclear power allowing students to relfect on the different perspectives.
Then you will need to create groups for the four stakeholders.
Local Family
Stop Hinkley! Campaign
EDF
UK Government
They have sources to look at, to come up with a one minute speech for the debate.
The lesson ends in a relfection excercise where students place the arguments they heard on a balancing scale. This way they can reflect on the strength of the arguments from different stakeholders.
Challenges and opportunities in the Thar Desert
This lesson uses the Thar Desert as a case study to investigat e the opportunities and challegnes of the Hot Desert, however most of the materials could be adapted to another case study if your school uses another one.
The lesson starts with locating the Thar desert, then the students use flash cards to fill out a table with Partner A looking into opportunities and Partner B challenges. They then work together sharing their knowledge to complete a matrix. The final task asks students to create a tweet to show their knowedge. This works well for KS3 however for KS4 it could also be replaced with an example GCSE question from zour exam board on opportunities and challenges.
Included Resources

Worksheet for the lesson
Partner A and Partner B table worksheet (differentiated versions of the table also included).
