Politics: 2017 general election health policies

I created this workshop about politics for adult learners studying entry level adult literacy. They each had learning difficulties and differences/ LDD/ SEN. However, I have also used it with primary school children. Once, I accompanied the lesson with resources about democracy from Twinkl. I used it to cover the British Values requirement to cover Democracy.

The presentation explains what elections are, and accompanies the worksheets ‘election literature’ and ‘words and definitions’. In the election literature worksheet learners are asked to identify the type and purpose of pieces of literature which came through my door at election time. They then match the political words to the definitions (cut these our first). In the final worksheet ‘health policies’, learners consult the ‘comparison table’ and ‘short manifesto’ to answer questions about the policies of each party.
