Outcomes

Children:
  • Divide the children into small groups and ask each group to analyse the data collected in the questionnaire survey. Ask them to use the results of their analysis to suggest ways the issue might be resolved. They could use ICT to present their suggestions.
  • Conduct a role play of a public meeting, concluding by asking groups to decide what they think should happen next.
  • play a role in a simulation of a public meeting
  • suggest ways in which the issue might be resolved
  • express and justify their own views on the issue

Points to note

Citizenship: through these activities, children will begin to understand how decisions are made at the local scale.
