An Introduction to Democracy
This scheme of work consists of four packs of resources which have been designed to introduce students to the concept of democracy.
Introduction to Democracy Part 3 - Local and Central Government
The third of a four-part set which has been designed to introduce students to the concept of democracy. Each pack can be delivered independently of each other, or combined together to form a broader scheme of work.
Students explore the difference between local and central government. Through taking part students will be able to answer key questions such as:
What are the key functions and roles of local and central government?
What are the key differences between local and central government?
How do local governments make and spend money?
How can young people make their voices heard amongst local decision makers?
Introduction to Democracy Part 4 - What is a Political Party?
The fourth of a four-part set which has been designed to introduce students to the concept of democracy. Each pack can be delivered independently of each other, or combined together to form a broader scheme of work. The pack contains four separate activities during which students will explore:
What a political party is.
The purpose of manifestos.
The role and responsibilities of an MP.
What priorities they would have if they were to form a political party.
