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?

The lesson teaches students about stress and anxiety. It teaches students how to differentiate between different types of stress and to spot trigger that can cause a person stress. The Lesson allows students the opportunity to reflect on what is a stress factor to them, as well as learning how our bodies respond to stress-fight, flight, freeze and fawn. Students work in pairs and groups to suggest coping strategies and to reflect on how effective they are to avoid chronic stress and mental health issues from occurring. Students’ understanding is applied through a problem scenario task, which can be used by teaches to formally assess their progress.
PowerPoint and resources are in comic sans, with size 14 font and slides have a yellow background to ensure that it is SEN inclusive. Lower ability students also are supported by working in pairs and groups. The lesson includes differentiated learning tasks that challenge students to become critical thinkers. The lesson includes assessment for learning opportunities and develops wider literacy skills throughout.
