Opportunities for Cross Curricular learning
Using ICT
The resources examine the topic utilizing a number of different media, which serve to engage pupils with the material, challenging them to think more creatively and encourage discussion.
The project could inspire tasks that would support presenting, researching, desktop publishing, working with moving images, working with images and working with sound.
Communication
The resources provide pupils with the opportunity to develop their talking and listening, reading and writing skills through independent learning and shared experience.
Opportunities for Thinking Skills and Personal Capabilities
Using the content, pupils have the opportunity to investigate meaning, explore ideas and analyse the information they are provided with. Within their individual learning, through group work and by questioning ideas, there is ample scope within the materials to include a focus on TS & PC. For this section, the following strands from the TS & PC framework are the most obvious to consider:
Managing Information
Pupils have the opportunity to:
- ask focused questions;
- plan and set goals and break a task into sub-tasks;
- select, classify, compare and evaluate information; and
- communicate with a sense of audience and purpose.
Thinking, Problem-Solving and Decision-Making
Pupils have the opportunity to:
- use different types of questions; and
- make connections between learning in different contexts.
Being Creative
Pupils have the opportunity to:
- experiment with ideas and questions;
- make new connections between ideas/information;
- learn from and value other people’s ideas;
- challenge the routine method; and
- take risks for learning.
Working with Others
Pupils have the opportunity to:
- listen actively and share opinions; develop routines of turn-taking, sharing and cooperating;
- give and respond to feedback;
- take personal responsibility for work with others and evaluate their own contribution to the group; and
- respect the views and opinions of others and reach agreements using negotiation and compromise.
Self-Management
Pupils have the opportunity to:
- be aware of their personal strengths, limitations and interests;
- organise and plan how to go about a task; and
- compare their own approach with others’ and in different contexts.
Opportunities to develop
Possible Task
Using presentation software, create a timeline documenting what you believe are the most important milestones in the women’s suffrage movement up until the Representation of the People Act in 1918.
Working in pairs, research the topic and construct your timeline with the events that you believe are the most important – be prepared to justify your thinking! Where possible, use images, video and sound (if you find it difficult to include video/sound, provide links) to compliment your research.
