Introductie
Part of the British Values series. This lesson looks at Democracy within the context of a school council. Pupils will discuss some of the qualities needed within a school council member and create a campaign speech.
Instructies
We have designed our British Values lessons so that teachers can pick up and teach a topic to their class with confidence.
We have chosen to use a balance of interactive tools and 'unplugged' creative activities.
Lessons can be taught directly from the LessonUp slides but work best when children have access to the pupil app
Lessonup.app
If you have any questions or want to know more, please do get in touch. We'd love to show you how LessonUp can make 'Every Class Better Than The Last'

Lower KS2: What makes a great school council member?
Slide 1 - Tekstslide
This lesson supports British Values. It can be used to compliment your existing schemes of learning or as an ad-hoc session.
It also links with the PSHE Association Programme of Study for KS2:
L1. to recognise reasons for rules and laws; consequences of not adhering to rules
and laws
L2. to recognise there are human rights, that are there to protect everyone
L3. about the relationship between rights and responsibilities
L4. the importance of having compassion towards others; shared responsibilities
we all have for caring for other people and living things; how to show care and
concern for others
L5. ways of carrying out shared responsibilities for protecting the environment
in school and at home; how everyday choices can affect the environment (e.g.
reducing, reusing, recycling; food choices)
In this lesson we will:
Think about why we have laws
Consider what the word 'democracy' means to us
look at some of the qualities that our representatives need.

Describe the sunflowers in this field
Slide 3 - Woordweb
Pupils should be able to describe the sunflowers.
Draw out that the sunflowers are all very similar.
'We Are All Born Free' by Amnesty International ISBN 978-1847806635 has a wonderful illustration which can compliment this slide.
Describe the people in this slide.
Slide 4 - Woordweb
All of these people are humans but all are different in so many ways. You can look at differences in their hair colour, eyes, skin tone, jobs, expressions.
These ideas can be sorted and discussed as a whole group.
The sunflowers were virtually all the same but humans are all different in so many amazing ways.
Slide 5 - Tekstslide

EVERYONE has the right to be protected by the law.β
Think of other qualities which might help or hold back our council.
Slide 11 - Woordweb
You may wish to support children by having a class word bank.
Engage your more able by offering them a thesaurus to encourage them to consider a wider vocabulary.
Write a short speech or create a poster to explain why you (or maybe a fictional character) would make a great school council member.
Slide 12 - Open vraag
This activity will enable the pupils to explore some of the qualities that they wish to see in a school council member.
If they do not wish to join the council, then why not choose a fictional character (good or bad) and write a speech for them.
Ideas could be:
Harry Potter
Elsa from Frozen
Yoda
Groot
Lisa Simpson
SpiderMan
I can talk about the important qualities in a school council member

Slide 13 - Poll
This poll can give you a quick snapshot of the class and an insight into who may need to explore the issue in more detail. The results will be displayed anonymously but you can look into how each child has answered the poll in the assessment view.
