Three fully editable revision sheets aimed at decoding the 12 mark question for Theme E. Each mat provided challenges students to question their own role and participation in their Theme E Citizenship campaign and how to evaluate success. The mats serve to develop skills of reflection, as well as encouraging student to evaluate and measure the impact of their own participation on the overall campaign-all of which are essential to be able to enter into the higher level tier in mark scheme. The mats can be used prior to starting your Theme E campaign project or as revision and will aid in teaching students how to be reflective thinkers after the campaign has taken place. The mats also act as a revision checklist by describing the recommended ‘ingredients’ for what helps to bring about a successful Citizenship campaign. The mats challenge students to rank these ‘ingredients’ in order of importance and to evaluate the impact of what could happen without them. For example is having a clear objective and goals, more important than having accurate research and a range of data? Is a SMART Plan a guaranteed to be effective or are tolerance, patience and time management more important? Mat 1 discusses democracy and asks students why it is essential to be democratic. Mat 2 introduces collaboration as a key component in a Citizenship campaign, Mat 3 concerns adaptablility and encourages reflection on how being adaptable can boost the reach and success of their campaign. Each mat reinforces literacy skills through by providing a defiiniton, synonyms and antonyms of the key exam word that is to be discussed.

The mat includes ready made questions that can be given as feedback to students and helpful guidance on not only when to mark, but how to mark. A free resource that i hope you find useful.

A FREE Theme E knowledge organiser for Edexcel Citizenship. It takes the specification and descriptors guidance for Theme E and has prompt questions and guidance for students. Students can fill it in as they go along and at various stages of planning and carrying out their Campaign. Or, students can complete it after they finished their campaigns as a form of revision and in preparation for Paper. It also aids reflection and is perfect for the 12 mark questions surrounding their campaign. Loved by my past students as it kept them on track and helped to coordinate a successful campaign. It is also a great resource for teachers to assess understanding and can be used to set targets. Can be used by teachers to plan practice questions also. The resource begins with initial research into their campaign, allocating job roles, lobbying etc and ends with students’ evaluating and measuring local and wider impact. Fully editable to suit your campaign. Made using Word.
