Taking action
Once students have come up with some ideas, they then need to understand who they should send their ideas to at the local council.
Using your local council
Students refine the presentation they created in lesson 1 to create something professional enough to send to their local council.
Local Action Lesson Plans and Worksheets
As part of the citizenship curriculum programme of study, students should be offered the opportunity to work with a range of community partners and organisations to address issued and problems in the community. Combined with the requirement to understand how they can participate in decision making, this series of local action teaching resources will cover a number of the curriculum requirements.
Lesson 1 – Improving Your Community
Students come up with a list of activities that they would like to set up. These must meet certain criteria and as a group, they must decide which idea to develop further .
Lesson 2 – Taking Action
The class must now decide who the most relevant body would be to submit their proposal too. They will also be required to identify the relevant person within that organisation.
Lesson 3 – Using Your Local Council
In the final lesson in this module, the class must now prepare their proposal to the council. Students then present to the rest of the class for feedback. Suggested plenary activities are also included.
