What is important to you thinking

about being a citizen of your country?

10 minutes

Mindmap

Survey: Consider questions about 

citizenship after the documentary

20-25 minutes

Research question and investigation.

Assignment:

Write* down at least one question about an aspect of citizenship that you can think of after watching the video clip (individually).

 

The facilitator can also add their own questions, ensuring that important aspects of citizenship receive attention during the study.

The facilitator collects all the questions and divides one or two questions among groups of 4 participants.

Then each group examines its question or questions.

Each group incorporates the answers found into a slide. They should pay attention to the design of the presentation.

* The facilitator gives all participants a paper of an appropriate size to write down the question(s).

Present your findings

Max. 5 minutes per group

Intermittent presentation

Each group will present a slide with their findings. They wil have 5 minutes to present.

Presentations are organized and materials shared with all participants. This can be done in LessonUp via the photo question or a link in the open ended question.

This way everybody has access to all the research materials. 

Quiz

The facilitator can decide to quiz the participants to conclude this part.

Create the quiz based on the questions that were discussed in class.

Optional you can include questions that are part of the module that you already use regularly in class about the theme, Citzenship.

As a facilitator you decide if the participants first can prepare for the quiz. 

It is also possible to ask the participants to formulate individually or in a team a question for a quiz. Then create the quiz accordingly.
