Well written by a clearly knowledgeable author, not just with his own experience but with the course itself. It takes the pressure out of planning for teachers and allows them to deliver the content safe in the knowledge that activities have already been planned for them.

The variety of tasks is excellent - it is designed to give the students a very good variety of ways to apply their knowledge and keeps them engaged.

Thought provoking and engaging tasks are included to get the students thinking carefully about how we live together in the UK.

Clear stretch tasks for the more able

A resource that allows the student to develop their understanding of some of the key concepts and themes in the specification ... Clear lesson plan included ... Good use of stretch activities to stretch more able learners and extension tasks for those students who may already have finished the task ... Pg 27, good use of scaffolding for students that may need prompting ... Good use of contemporary examples that students can relate to ...

I like the keyword task and the use of charts and current election data, as students will be able to relate and apply data as it is relevant to their experiences... The resource is a good template to help differentiation. It follows the spec and has included current content needed in citizenship.

Brilliant range of quick and thought-provoking tasks... The debates are good and provide an excellent way of being able to utilise stretch and challenge especially amongst the brighter students... the educational value of this resource is incredible... any Teacher of Citizenship/PHSE would be delighted when receiving this activity pack given the breadth and depth of the activities being offered.
