Three fully editable revision sheets aimed at decoding the 12 mark question for Theme E. Each mat provided challenges students to question their own role and participation in their Theme E Citizenship campaign and how to evaluate success. The mats serve to develop skills of reflection, as well as encouraging student to evaluate and measure the impact of their own participation on the overall campaign-all of which are essential to be able to enter into the higher level tier in mark scheme.
The mats can be used prior to starting your Theme E campaign project or as revision and will aid in teaching students how to be reflective thinkers after the campaign has taken place. The mats also act as a revision checklist by describing the recommended ‘ingredients’ for what helps to bring about a successful Citizenship campaign. The mats challenge students to rank these ‘ingredients’ in order of importance and to evaluate the impact of what could happen without them. For example is having a clear objective and goals, more important than having accurate research and a range of data? Is a SMART Plan a guaranteed to be effective or are tolerance, patience and time management more important?
Mat 1 discusses democracy and asks students why it is essential to be democratic.
Mat 2 introduces collaboration as a key component in a Citizenship campaign,
Mat 3 concerns adaptablility and encourages reflection on how being adaptable can boost the reach and success of their campaign.
Each mat reinforces literacy skills through by providing a defiiniton, synonyms and antonyms of the key exam word that is to be discussed. This will improve vocabulary and push student to consider their own actions and behaviours throughout their campaign. For example when were they undemocratic, could they have been more adaptable? When did they their skills of collaboration?
Tired and tested in the Northwest. Loved by students. Great for revision!
