I used this resource with my current GCSE citizenship group when teaching unit 3: The global community
It includes: 3 introduction lessons on citizenship and using citizenship perspectives (I have used the recent Calais crisis). The next lesson is all about the economy and then it leads onto government spending, inflation, who does what and then finally the successes and failures of business.
Use as you wish and enjoy
This is a resource I have taught to all ability year 7- (SEN alternatives are provided on the slides )
It includes
L1- introduction to early settlers and what people have brought to Britain- students are to sell Stone Henge- I usually complete this task over 2 lessons
L2- What does it mean to be British?
L3- Create your own country- booklets for students and they are to work in groups to find out the basics to establishing their own country- usually takes 2 lessons
L4- Early immigration research- find out about the Romans, Celts, Vikings, Anglo-Saxons
L5- Assessment/ essay. SEN resources provided as well for assessment
L6- Other immigrants
L7- Positives and Negatives immigration has brought
L8- Linking to modern day and the immigration problem today
The whole point of this topic is to establish what is an immigrant and to conclude that everyone in Britain is an immigrant.
Enjoy!
I use this resource whilst teaching about early immigration and why people decide to move from different countries. This lesson can run over 1 or 2 lessons and it thoroughly enjoyed by students.
It involves them getting into groups, creating a name for their country, developing a national anthem, creating a flag, presenting their country and then deciding if they would like to emigrate to a different country.
I have used these resources with my Citizenship class as a way to assess and revise knowledge.
This assessment is similar to an Edexcel exam.
Enjoy and use as you wish.

A good SOW to teach if your school teaches migration through time.

2. Why do people move countries? (create your own country - takes 2 lessons)
3. Early settlers- (assessment question included)
4. Other immigrants that came to Britain- (chance to extend and research the Windrush further)
5. Positives of immigration
6. The media and immigration
7. Refugee Crisis- modern day immigration
8. Assessment lesson with prep sheet and mark scheme

This is a 20 page revision information booklet that I use with my AQA History students. All of the information is accessible and covers the whole unit.
I have added the PDF version in case the publisher version does not open properly.
Enjoy!
I use this resource with Y7 to introduce them to immigration and what it means to be British.
It leads nicely onto looking at- are we all immigrants?
