Enterprise and the Community
These teaching resources guide students through the processes necessary to make changes to their communities, concluding with the preparation of a proposal which could be put to the local council.
Lesson 1 – Our Community
Working in groups, students discuss the local area and things that they consider to be issues. They then develop the concept of a perfect community and demonstrate how that differs from reality.
Lesson 2 – Making Changes Part 1
Having identified what would need changing, students must now discover how to make the changes happen. Can the best ideas be applied to your community in real life?
Lesson 3 – Making Changes Part 2
A teacher led introduction to this lesson involves identifying which ideas can be put into practice. Students then work in groups to devise an action plan to put forward.
Lesson 4 – Making Changes Part 3
Working in groups, students must identify who they need to contact to make their change happen and prepare a written proposal. As a plenary exercise, they must also consider organisations what may be able to help their cause.
