This scheme of work has been developed by Jane Girlow and Justin Sheppard (Hugh Christie Technology College) in conjunction with Richard D North (Media Fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs).
Pilot GCSE: People as Consumers - Argumentation and recycling - what a waste!
What a waste!
On Richard D North’s Globalization Issues website he states that: ‘The idea is to explore some important subjects (in this case recycling) and to do it by talking about the way different people see them. It helps us develop if we are good at recognising the validity of other people’s point of view … It’s more a question of understanding that life – politics, business all sorts of things, is a matter of trying to get robust, well informed debate so we can make better decisions and satisfy the huge desire of people to have their voice heard’.
Use the Globalization Issues website as appropriate during your work on recycling with students.
