Global Citizenship Lesson Plans

The first of the six lesson plans tackles the question of citizenship and how citizens and citizenship can be defined. With the basics established, lessons plans 2 – 6 are more specific, with lesson two examining the issues of identity and diversity, including how different identities can exist at different levels. Lesson plan three encourages students to discover aspects of conflict around the world and justify the rights and responsibilities of individuals. Lesson four looks at democracy and justice and different voting systems in the democratic world while lesson five is designed to help students develop a better understanding of sustainability and global warming. The final lesson in the series recaps on all previous learning outcomes, culminating in students appreciating how they can make a contribution to society and the world and make changes at local, national and international levels.
