Points to note |
- Pupils may need a structure or the opportunity to use 'cause' cards to clarify their ideas. ICT might be used to support this activity.
- Language for learning: pupils write closely argued text where precise links and connections are made within sentences.
- Citizenship: links with the importance of resolving conflict early, and the world as a global community.
