Headlines: Poverty + CD
by Potter Molly (9781408113561)

Headlines: Poverty is one of a series of books and accompanying CDs offering primary school teachers support for teaching controversial issues. Published in association with the UK's Citizenship Foundation, the Headlines titles provide background knowledge and practical teaching resources to introduce and appropriately manage discussions of sensitive, controversial and topical issues with confidence. Children of all ages are regularly exposed to media coverage of controversial topics. When a news story hits the headlines, schools need to respond to the questions, fears and concerns of their pupils with sensitivity, accuracy and balance. The Headlines titles have been produced specifically to help teachers face this challenge. Features include: topic background knowledge and presentation of opposing arguments and viewpoints; advice on how to avoid bias; lively lesson plans; reproducible pupil resources including activity sheets, information sheets, case studies and news reports. The accompanying CD includes: editable versions of the activity sheets that can be adapted in response to topical news stories; additional resource materials and photographs to display on a whiteboard as a focus for discussion; additional background information for teachers.
