UPDATED FEB 2020 to reference Brexit and the December 2019 election. This is a comprehensive revision booklet for Unit 2 AS Government and Politics. It contains at least four pages of structured revision activities on: Prime Minister and Cabinet Parliament Constitution The Judiciary There are extra revision questions included which should be completed on seperate paper.

These are based on some very old resources I had. I have since tidied them up and made them more accessible. Nothing special, just some graphic organisers to help students formulate some arguments around New Media. One sheet is designed to be an intro where they do two spider diagrams identifying forms of old and new media. Like I said, nothing special.

This is a full lesson analysing contemporary feminism through Darts, specifically Fallon Sherrock at the Worlds in December 2019. YouTube links are in the notes. Tasks integrated in. Very niche, but very easy to teach. An interesting twist on feminism. EDIT: Added a PDF of the PPT as it was reported to not be working.

Just a simple graphic organiser designed to aid revision for the Crime and Deviance unit. Designed with IGCSE in mind, so not all boxes will end up getting filled up.

The IB DP Global Politics mark scheme for the Paper 1 10 mark essays and the Paper 2 25 mark essays is a bit weak, so I have made these sheets to help with the marking process. It’s basically the mark scheme put into boxes and another table with some general pointers. TIP: If in international school, get someone to translate into students first language. Then you can give feedback in a students native tongue plus English.

Full lesson on the ECHR. Very simple. Links to videos in the notes. The lesson should take one hour I’ve written a full paper 1 (for DP Global Politics Paper 1) as part of this. It is attached in the booklet along with the sources.

This document is a revision booklet to help students make links across the course. They could do it on the computer but I personally prefer to have them handwrite it so they get used to writing the key words. I know I’m not alone in having trouble getting students to use evidence in their answers. Designed for DP Global Politics but can be adapted for use in other subjects/curricula Very simple, very structured.

This lesson introduces the key concepts of The Cold War through the Chess match between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky. Activities are integrated into the PPT and on seperate sheets. Cut the Capitalism and Communism sheet in half. The song is “Rook House for Bobby” by I Like Trains. Anyone who likes getting relatively obscure independent post rock bands into their lessons should definitely enjoy this.

Two or three lessons worth here on Human Rights violations. First lesson is dedicated to comparing Slavery in Mauritania and the UK. The rationale is to get the students to think of this topic in a truly global context. Second and third lesson focus on different types of Human Rights violations and placing them in a theoretical and conceptual context. Lots of videos. Links in the notes. Activities on sheets and integrated in.

This covers state capitalism. Videos are integrated in. Some knowledge of Middle Eastern Airlines- Emirates, Etihad, Qatar etc is needed. Very simple and straightforward.

I took an ancient resource on here and updated it with activities and make it more student friendly. Designed with IGCSE in mind but advanced enough that can be used for A-Level. Two lessons worth, very discussion based. I have checked that all the videos are on YouTube as of 11/2019.

This is a straightforward lesson designed to consider the relationship between western and eastern interpretations of Human Rights. I assume the class has some knowledge of Fukuyama. This lesson is followed up with a more general challenges to Universalism. You’ll need post it notes and not much else. Activities are integrated on the PPT and on the Worksheet.

Two lessons worth on this topic. This is used to at international relations theory in the context of Human Rights. It’s a good revision tool for these theories as well. You’ll need some mini white boards or equivalent for the first task. Videos are in the notes section. To be honest they are very interchangeable. Simple, straightforward, scaffolded tasks. Building towards the questions at the end.

This is at least two hours worth of lessons of types of Human Rights, as well as Universalism and Relativism. Activities on attached sheets and integrated in. Link to the video in the notes. You will need post it notes in three different colours, and ideally some mini whiteboards or equivalent. I used articles from the BBC and New Statesman for the Broadband bit. But if it’s a UK school the video should be enough by itself to be honest.

A pretty straightforward lesson examining the difference between Human and Civil Rights. Video links are in the notes section. Some prior knowledge of Civil Rights in Northern Ireland, South Africa and the USA is needed. And you’ll need the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to hand, I just used the IB Global Politics textbook. Slides 7 and 14 should be printed off individually.

An introduction to EU concepts and structures. Designed with IB in mind but in reality could be used on any syllabus. Videos are listed in the notes section of the PPT. Activities are integrated in.

Two lessons of structured work designed for specifically for IB Global Politics, though it can easily be switched to another course/syllabus. The focus is on Bangladesh as a case study, and students should know about things like the World Bank, and theory before doing this.

This lesson is designed to introduce the concept of secondary socialisation, predominantly through Education. There is some comparative analysis with primary socialisation with a bit on particularistic and universalistic standards. There is not that much detail here. As I say, it is introductory stuff designed to introduce concepts and get the students thinking and doing something.

This is just a lesson I put together on What is Art. Probably the only lesson to ever have been created with a comparison of Katy Perry and Rammstein. Substitute the Manchester stuff from your hometown or where you are teach or something. The lesson basically teaches itself.

Again, just some basic resources for Non-Participant and Participant Observation. No PPT but you can easily work through the tasks. Pretty self-explanatory. On Observation techniques the 2nd task has a table to complete it on the 2nd page.
