Introduction
Purpose:
Worksheet exercises guide students, teachers and parents to explore
social studies concepts such as social organisation:
- people's organisation in groups and the rights, roles and responsibilities
of people as they interact with groups.
- how individuals, communities and nations exercise these rights and
meet these obligations.
How to use DecisionMaker worksheets
The worksheet exercises and associated interactive tools, backgrounded
by teacher resources, can be used in classroom discussions, individual
assignments on and off the computer, and in homework assignments – sometimes
with parents. Students, teachers and parents can decide which worksheets
are suited to the individual student. They can gain help from additional
resources, including the local current or former member of Parliament,
financial adviser or online news analysis organisation.
Note: These worksheets can also be used as group activities sheets.
