Schemes of work: Citizenship at key stage 3

Citizenship at key stage 3 through geography at key stage 3

Use their imagination to consider other people's experiences and be able to think about, express and explain views that are not their own

Geography programme of study

1. In undertaking geographical enquiry, pupils should be taught to:
5. appreciate how people's values and attitudes [for example, about overseas aid], including their own, affect contemporary social, environmental, economic and political issues, and to clarify and develop their own values and attitudes about such issues
6. communicate in ways appropriate to the task and audience [for example, by using desktop publishing to produce a leaflet, drawing an annotated sketch map, producing persuasive or discursive writing about a place]
2. In developing geographical skills, pupils should be taught:
6. to communicate in different ways, including using ICT [for example, by writing a report about an environmental issue, exchanging fieldwork data using e-mail]
