Summary:
The best-selling This is Citizenship course has been revised and updated to provide a structured programme of flexible activities which cover all the key concept, range and content requirements of the 2008 Citizenship national curriculum.

This is Citizenship 3 builds on the skills developed in This is Citizenship 1 & 2. It provides case studies and activities for use in Year 9, which look at the core themes of:

1. Rights and responsibilities, justice and fairness
2. National government and national politics
3. Britain and the world

The classroom-friendly activities are carefully designed to:
- be flexible for use on their own or as part of your own school-designed scheme of work
- be accessible to all abilities and easy to prepare and use
- promote knowledge and understanding and to develop the essential skills and processes
- allow you to incorporate local initiatives which reflect the needs of your own school community.

The Pupil's Book is comprehensively supported by:
- a Teacher's Resource Book which provides further help with differentiation and assessment
- a Dynamic Learning product which provides all the resources from the Pupil's Book and Teacher's Resource Book, as well as additional resources, for use via an interactive whiteboard or data projector.

• Covers the key concepts, range and content of the revised Citizenship National Curriculum through an active learning approach.
• Classroom-friendly activities help develop the essential skills of critical thinking and enquiry, informed and responsible action, and advocacy and representation.
• Integrates Assessment for Learning techniques and also provides opportunities for more formal summative assessment.
• Pupil's Book is comprehensively supported by a Teacher's Resource Book and Dynamic Learning CD-ROM.
