Find out how resources like those supplied by NGOs such as Comic Relief can be used to enhance KS3 citizenship lessons Can a charity based on comedy help teach children important lessons on values and human rights? Sarah Coleman finds out in her KS3 citizenship class as she uses Comic Relief teaching resources supplied free to schools as part of Red Nose Day 2007. Sarah is a citizenship coordinator at Royton and Crompton Science College in Oldham, which was recently mentioned by Ofsted as a school showing excellent citizenship teaching. We follow Sarah as she plans her lesson, and is then observed by Jeremy Hayward, citizenship expert at the Institute of Education. Jeremy then sits down with Sarah after the lesson to explore how the lesson went, and how to develop it in the future. From the opening of the lesson right through to the plenary, Jeremy and Sarah talk through good teaching practice, and what sets citizenship teaching apart from other subjects.
