Politics taster lesson - Who is more powerful a Prime Minister or a President?

(1)
This was made for a taster session I was running for Year 11 students. I wanted to make an accessible 1 hour long lesson with as much interaction as possible.<br /> <br /> This lesson along with the activities are aimed at comparing a PM and a President as well as giving the students a sense of the complete difference between the US and UK political systems. The session went really well. I put a few UK and US flags out to get them in the spirit of things too.<br /> <br /> There are some slides that are specific to my school but you will be able to remove them easily.<br /> <br /> Links on ppt:<br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_Eutci7ack&amp;t=191s<br /> <br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1s3QlskaEM&amp;disable_polymer=true<br /> <br /> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rQmquHLSaQ&amp;disable_polymer=true

Citizenship and British values and PSHE Politics resource pack

(0)
I have uploaded a variety of resources above that I have made over the last two years for my PSHE/Citizenship lessons for Year 10 and 11.<br /> <br /> 1. Election expert - Follow the presentation and answer the questions on the worksheet<br /> <br /> 2. What is a Citizen. Short lesson focusing on what the term means and what makes an ideal citizen.<br /> <br /> 3. How does politics in the UK work? - Linking it to the structure of a school. Adapt to fit your particular school.<br /> <br /> 4. Stand up Sit down - Democracy lesson. Need to give 40% of students a post it notes as they walk in. In the final slides restrict them from standing or sitting (voicing opinion). This 40% represents the number of young people who did not vote in the 2015 General election.<br /> <br /> 5. Ideology - Simple ideology lesson that can be adapted. comes with a worksheet that decides whether their ideas fit into left win or right wing. Idea is that most students will have opinions that fit either side. Hence the reason why parties try and gain as many votes a possible rather than follow one ideology blindly.
