At the end of this unit
most pupils: realise that cultures and experiences in other countries can be different from their own but not necessarily 'better' or 'worse'. Their understanding of people in different places is based on experience rather than stereotypes and/or prejudice. They are more aware of social, economic and political issues in a global context. They recognise the role of international communities such as the European Union, the Commonwealth and the United Nations.
some pupils have not made so much progress and: have a simple understanding of people in different places and countries, developed through direct communication. They discuss the similarities and differences in everyday life they have found while communicating with pupils overseas, eg school, family, concerns, ambitions.
some pupils have progressed further and: discuss issues such as human rights, aid and fair trade, and recognise how countries are interdependent. They understand the role of communities and institutions such as the European Union, the Commonwealth and the United Nations, and other international groups. They compare, contrast and draw some conclusions about how communities such as their own function and are interdependent with other communities.
