GCSE Citizenship Concept Revision Mats-Edexcel

(0)
Citizenship GCSE Concept revision mats-perfect for revision! x13 mats included and fully editable so that you can swap and change your own images/questions in the boxes. (Therefore a resource that can be used multiple times, year on year) Can be used for in-class revision or set as independent study. Can be set at the end of teaching a theme or as preparation for mocks/exams. Each mat is A3 and made using Publisher. There is an image in the centre of each mat which is purposefully simplistic in nature and vague. Around the image are boxes with prompts questions/tasks. Students have to make revision ready notes around the image. The questions/tasks are the same on each mat (yet can be edited) for example: ‘Key facts, laws, events, case studies that I can link to this image?’. Each mat also challenges students to write their own exam questions. Students have to write an ‘Identify, Explain, Compare and Evaluate’, which reinforces understanding of exam command words. The concepts of Justice, Equality, Morality, Democracy’ are evident in these revision mats, which push students to unpick what these concepts actually mean in real life. They also reinforce literacy and extend vocabulary as students have to identify keywords that could be used to describe the issue/content of the image. The A3 Concept mats are great for developing the ability to retrieve information, link topics/themes and the overall ability to conceptualise topic. (A much needed skill for the extended writing questions on both papers). There is one per theme -A-E and then some mats have multiple crossovers to encourage students to find ways to connect topics/themes to through meaningful and purposeful links. These mats test Citizenship knowledge as well as encourage critical thinking. It is advised to to complete a mat first yourself and then to model it with the class, especially to support lower ability students. Students can use textbooks and revision materials to help them complete the mats, at your discretion. Used by many students in the Northwest and loved. Once bought and downloaded should not be resold. You have been issued a single licence for your own use and the right to grant a limited licence to your students to use the licensed material as part of your teaching and their own private study.
