Card Sort: Should Britain introduce a National Identity Card?

(0)
This fun and interactive lesson looks at the controversy surrounding the debate on whether Britain should introduce a national identity card or voter ID cards. The main activity focuses around card sort of the key issues, which is followed up with a class continuum voting activity using post it notes. This can then be further consolidated or extended with a student speech writing task arguing either one side or the other. I have included a template, a literacy mat and a peer assessment task to help facilitate this. When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a 14 slide PowerPoint Presentation which includes aims, objectives, starters, plenaries, tasks, activities, information slides on the debate surrounding the introduction of a national identity card. You will also be able to download a one page Word Document which includes instructions, activities, questions, two heading cards labeled ‘Arguments For’ and ‘Arguments Against’, as well as eighteen information cards which can be cut out and sorted or annotated with a key. I have also uploaded both documents as PDFs, just in you don’t have Microsoft Office. For further information, please see the preview. The aims and objectives for this lesson are: Theme: British Values Know: What are the arguments for and against having a national identity card? Understand: Why are national identity cards historically unpopular in Britain? Evaluate: Should Britain introduce a national identity card scheme? Skills: Compare & Contrast, Cause, Consequence & Collaboration WILF – What Am I Looking For? Can You Describe: the arguments for and against having a national identity card?

Human Rights Scheme of Work & Resources for Year 7

(1)
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.
