This is Citizenship is a major new course for Citizenship education in secondary schools. It provides a structured programme of flexible activities which cover all the knowledge, skills and understanding requirements of the compulsory Citizenship curriculum.

This is Citizenship 1 lays the foundations of the course. It provides case studies and activities for use in Key Stage 3, particularly in Years 7 and 8, which look at the core themes of:

  1. Rules and fairness
  2. Rights, responsibilities and tolerance
  3. The community and local government
  4. National government
  5. Mass media
  6. The world as a global community.

This is Citizenship 2 tackles the same themes as Book 1. It revisits these themes at a higher level, with more advanced case studies and activities for Years 8 and 9. Together these books provide all you need for Key Stage 3.

The classroom-friendly activities are carefully designed to:

tick be flexible for use on their own or as part of your own school-designed scheme of work
tick be accessible to all abilities and easy to prepare and use
tick promote knowledge and understanding and to develop skills of empathy, communication, participation and responsible action
tick contains thoroughly researched content and lesson plans and student activities (in history and citizenship contexts)
tick allow you to incorporate local initiatives which reflect the needs of your own school community.

The Pupil's Books are comprehensively supported by Teacher's Resource Books which provide further help with differentiation.

Teacher’s Resource Books
These Teacher's Resource Books fully support the Pupil's Books, with activity sheets to help access or extend all the major tasks, and extensive notes for teachers on how to make this material work in the classroom.
