Lesson plan: Taking it further
From the Developing Rights online resource
Age group: 11 - 14
Aims:
To help pupils to evaluate potential actions for change in terms
of their possible consequences.
This activity is best carried out after completing the previous
lesson.
What to do:
Preparation: you will need two large sheets of paper and pens
for each pair of pupils. Copy the flow chart onto a large piece of paper.
Explain to pupils that they will be looking at how to take forward
one of their chosen actions for change. This work will involve drawing
a flow chart.
Now divide pupils into pairs and ask them to write their chosen
action for change at the top of their first sheet of paper. They
should then write down the first step that might be taken to initiate
the action. From this there should be at least two possible outcomes
(see flow chart). If the outcome of
the first step is successful, an arrow can lead on to a second step.
If it is not, an arrow may lead back into the first step, or other
steps may have to be taken instead. Illustrate with the model diagram.
When pupils are happy with their rough charts, a final version
can be produced on their second sheets of paper. Now ask pupils
to join with another pair and discuss the flow charts. Finally,
as a whole class come together to look at the actions for change.
Which ones seem to work best and why? What are some of the difficulties
involved in planning? How can these be overcome? Would pupils like
to put any of their actions into practice?
