Curriculum Context

These materials can be used for teaching the National Curriculum Programme of Study for Citizenship at Key Stage 3. The activities require students to reflect on conflict in a range of contexts, and provide opportunities for them to explore conflict in everyday situations through drama, and to discuss social problems (2a) and consider the importance of resolving conflict fairly (1a). Structured small group discussion is used to afford students the opportunity to justify their opinions orally (2b). Discussion about the representation of good and evil in literature allows students to take part in exploratory discussion. (2c) Throughout the unit students should be encouraged to consider the likely effect that conflict has on all parties and to imagine another person’s point of view. They should be encouraged to articulate viewpoints other than their own.(3a)
