- Ask pupils to discuss in pairs and identify what they have learnt about: rights and responsibilities; the influence of the media on public opinion, consultation and the power of decision-makers; using scientific principles to inform decision-making; and the process of decision-making and resolving conflict, with regard to the issues they have investigated. Discuss whether individuals can make a difference, eg what pupils can do to change local energy use or supply in the school, home or community.
- Pupils share what they have learnt with different audiences - within the school, their local, national or global communities. For example, they could:
- write articles for the school or local newspaper or environmental magazines and
websites
- prepare a display for the school buildings or local council office
- develop a school policy on environmentally sustainable practices, which could be discussed at Student Council or with governors and members of the local community
- take part in a local citizens' forum, eg on a council website, or a young people's forum
- write letters making recommendations to their MP, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the European Parliament or the United Nations

- identify their own learning outcomes with respect to: understanding rights and responsibilities; resolving conflict; identifying and using information sources
- make connections between their own actions and choices and the effects these have on other communities - locally, nationally and globally
- communicate their views to a chosen audience, having agreed an appropriate method of presentation and making appropriate use of ICT
