3: Vote, vote, vote -
democracy in the international context |
|
Perhaps
the young people in your classrooms do not see the relevance of elections
for them. They may not understand the role of the fight for democracy
in many of today's conflicts. By examining democracy in an international
context, pupils will gain a greater insight into the importance of, and
their role in, democracy.

Activity
for the classroom: If
I ruled the world
|
||
|
An activity for KS2. Ask pupils to think of, or write, a list of what they would do if they ruled the world. The statements below could be used as a stimulus. Get them, in pairs or threes, to agree from their lists on the three most important things. In discussion with them, encourage them to argue and explain. Who would their rules be good for? For themselves or for other people? Which other people? Would it be a good thing if they could rule the world - and why/why not? How easy was it for them to agree on their three most important things? Do they think it would be easy to rule a country - never mind the world?
