Do you have a topic?

no anyhting

lol at kittnes

anything i like for 25 mins

thats not long
no time to write imo

.

am thinkign bullying is a safe bet

i bet everyone will do that..do something different to be remembered

or cyber bullying

oh go dhtats to hard for year 8

or maybe seriousnsess of crumes and victimless crimes and the age of criminality

Have a look at this website:

www.standards.dcsf.gov.uk/schemes2/citizenship/

MSN is apparently my dd's headmaster's worst enemy...it is very true that cyber bullying and ridiculing are a big problem now..

I had to get the police to go to the school once and they told all the 13 yr old girls there that threatening to beat someone up via text is a criminal offence and any one doing so risked being arrested...(I loved that..)

Here's one Cod

get a load of things you have to reach a certain age to be legal (drive, drink booze, smoke, etc but also less obvious ones and no age ones - own a dog, drive a bus etc)

Groups sort into ages they know/guess

Discussion why these ages - are they right/logical etc.

(Leave the £30 in the tin on the side when you close the door, wontcha)

When's the interview? DS2 is in Year 8, I can ask him what kind of topics they have done that he has found especially interesting/useful etc

DH did one on interview (yr 9) on ethical shopping which involved everyone eating lots fair trade chocolate!

If they are about to go to a 2yr/collapsed ks3 they will choosing options this year, maybe something on intelligences or one of those tests that show kind of brain you have - children always like the topic if it's about them!

Or listening skills? In pairs you give them different scenarios that hinder listening skills (and therefore learning). I can give you a lesson plan on this which you could adapt to your 25 mins.

I think you need about 5-8mins intro (if it's an active task get students to put name stickers on), 15 mins on task and 5 min plenary.

ye si think that timing soudns perfect.

i wonder if cyber bullying is too big to statr in oen lesson- mayeb also a y 10 topic?

liek slouchys idea
that is similar to my youth offenindg idea of a variety of offence( littering, sending malciicous msns, shoplifting) and makign them rankt hem in order of severity in a pair. hten presnet their top3 say eahc group

then say why - and htey will rpesuem they are victimless

this owuld fit in with this part of the

£ rights and repsonsibiliteis" section

Crime and punishment
Why should lawbreakers be
punished?
What do I think are fair and
unfair punishments?
Who decides on punishments
and by what criteria?
How are the rights of
offenders and victims
reconciled?
How do prisons and other
institutions work?
How can offenders

DS2 just home from school, and says that the subject he has most enjoyed in Citizenship is animal rights.

Given the recent Hugh Fearnlydodah/Jamie programmes it could form the basis for an interesting lesson - i.e. a good chance the students have seen something on TV about it.

HTH and good luck!

hmm, i may use him for reg feedback! ta s

ok plan so far is this( am oging to stick to what i know)
aim
to explore diffreent effects of crime on different tyopes of vcitims
terminology - cause effect offenders emotional physical finaicial

eahc pair gets a envelope of different crimes cut up( from littering to ASB and shoplifing)all this 5 mins

they are pretending to be the lawyer at the police station who has to advise which creims to send to court. have to rank into most serious.( 15 mins)

THEN check this out, every few mins i will stop them and gievthem NEW information ( pretendign it was a phone call) abotu one of the crimes that will make them reasses it( i'll do this twice)

thast then 20 mins

then concluisionw hat have we learned
HOPEFULLy that all criems haev vctim
so in total

look at chalkface.com

multi-cultural one would be good

you can download samples from here

right have decided that is too complaex
am now on punichmsnt and what si a fair punishemnt

Oh no! Stick with it, it was really, REALLY good!

Nearly posted that at the time but thought it sounded patronising (or worse - 'Cod loving').

My ds is year 8 btw.

agree cod that lesson sounded good,especially the telephone bit...sounds fun
