It is a compelling way for pupils to explore global issues and build skills in persuasive writing and self-expression.
Two lessons and accompanying PowerPoint, activity sheets, case studies, film clip and curricular links. It can be taught as two one-hour lessons or one lesson with homework. all are available for download at the bottom of this page.
The resource is aimed at ‘KS3 English, Citizenship, Geography, Religious Studies and Humanities teachers, Literacy Coordinators, and all teachers seeking to build literacy across the curriculum and support whole school SMSC’.
