familiarise yourself with the resources offered on this blog!
look back at some of the key terms and concepts you learned last year
research an area arising from this and...
create a '3 facts 3 questions 3 sources' briefing/quiz for the rest of the class
By the end of the lesson you should have answers to the initial quiz worksheet questions (25 in total); have researched a topic; created a PowerPoint with 3 facts and 3 questions and 3 useful online resources listed on this topic which can be shared with the class; have heard the other groups' 3 briefing facts and had a go at answering their 3 questions.
TASK ONE: 6 GROUPS TACKLE 4 QUESTIONS EACH FROM THE QUIZ SHEET
See David Conn's analysis of an official report into the racism and other abuse footballers and clubs have received on Twitter and other social media.

Download, save and use the Word document below (its also in the Citizenship/Yr11 folder, so you can also copy/paste into your My Documents). Type (or print + write) into this as we go.
TASK ONE:
State whether you agree or disagree with the quote above, and write down one argument in favour of this AND one argument against. FEEDBACK: We will take an initial vote on this and come back to it for a second vote by the end of the lesson.
We will also note down some of your initial points for and against the proposition.
I'll add video clips used later.
Below you can find two news articles on the news story that will lead your new TV show aimed at 14-19s. One is from The Guardian, a fairly left-wing newspaper (which therefore favours higher taxation and public spending, and is generally pro-unions and positive towards public sector workers, and traditionally very anti-Conservative Party), and one from the very right-wing newspaper Daily Mail (which therefore favours lower taxation + public spending, and is generally hostile towards unions and public sector workers, and traditionally very pro-Conservative Party).
