INTRODUCTION

One of the features of the PGCE(s) Citizenship at Canterbury Christ Church University is collaboration with mentors in developing and delivering the course. Part of that development has been to enable course members to plan and deliver collapsed timetable events in conjunction with partner schools. Such days are becoming more regular features of the school calendar in response to a number of initiatives and including the provision of citizenship education.

The school with which we worked on this focus day was Invicta Grammar School in Maidstone. Invicta has discrete timetabled lessons in citizenship as well as cross-curricular provision and a series of focus days. There are two trained Citizenship specialists as well as many supportive colleagues and a senior management team which is both well-informed and fully committed to the development of citizenship education. It is, therefore, not a typical school. None the less, the materials which were developed – in this case for use with able and motivated year 7 girls – could be adapted for other circumstances and contexts.

It was largely coincidental the Citizenship subject leader and mentor at Invcita, chose ‘Britishness’ as the theme for a focus day which was delivered in the same week as the Ajegbo Report was published.

This work is presented in this pack. We worked in small groups to plan and deliver their sessions, with Kenneth Ennin – who was at Invicta for teaching practice – acting as a conduit for ideas and information during planning and as a support and ‘gopher’ on the day, while Susie Burden co-ordinated the day’s activities. Where reference is made to PowerPoint presentations we offer some indicative content but will have to leave the preparation of these to those who deliver the sessions as none of us, the school nor the university owns copyright to all the images used, and different schools in different circumstances might be happier developing materials relevant to their own contexts. As these sessions were presented simultaneously there are some overlapping details. If it is considered more appropriate in another

context to enable pupils to experience all of the sessions, we advise that these overlaps are minimised if not removed completely. While there is some benefit to repetition, too much can lead to pupil disengagement.

The initial plan

BelongingRespectIdentityTraditionImmigrationStereotypesHistoryBelonging: the local and the global – individuals and groups in Britain, and Britain in the world.Respect: what communities make up Britain, what traditions are practised etc.Identity: personal, ethnic and national identity – shared and overlapping indentities. Tradition: traditions from the composite regions of Britain.Immigration: where we all come from – the origins, diversity and vibrancy of migrant communities and their contribution to Britishness.Stereotypes: What perceptions do we have of each other, and do others have of the British?History: what events have shaped our ideas of Britishness and of who we are?

Outline for the Day:We will not make explicit that each group is being given a letter from the word British; hopefully they will discover this at the presentations. Start with a common introduction and discussion, based around the homework task, to introduce the themes for today. Then give each

group their theme from the B.R.I.T.I.S.H list as the focus for their research, working towards presentations. Prepare presentations.Pupils give their presentations. It is at this point that the pupils will (hopefully) realise that their letters come together to form the word BRITISH. This should encourage them to think that there are many strands to being British which come together to give a sense of national identity.BELONGING #1Lesson objectivesTo understand what it means to belong to Britain and how this involves the rest of the world.

Introduction to the students and explain the aim of the day. Discuss the activities we will take part in and the intended outcomes for the day.

Introduce the idea of identity, both personal and national. Using the analogy of flowers having different defining attributes but belonging to the same family, we will also compare this to ourselves as humans.

Using the outlines of the flowers students will write their names in the middle of the picture (centre of the flower) and will fill the petals with words they would choose to describe themselves to reveal their personal identity. We will compare these and make sure they are colourfully decorated as some will be used in the final presentation.

Students will feedback on this activity and we will develop a discussion about the word ‘identity’ and what it means. We will have looked at personal identities up until this point and we will now start to consider national identity, including British identity.

Students will watch the Channel 4 Talking Race film on the topic of identity. Students will be introduced to the idea of British culture relying heavily on other cultures, e.g. the integration of foreign words into our own language. Students will be given a list of words to research on the internet to find their origins.

Using the powerpoint we will explorer different symbols of British culture. Students will discuss whether they feel these symbols are an accurate representation of what they see as Britishness. It would be interesting at this stage to gauge whether students would refer to themselves as English, British or European if this wasn’t approached in the first activity.

Feedback as a whole group to discuss our findings and assess our learning against the outcomes so far.

Plenary

Inclusion Access: Students are to be supported through teacher input and through Q&A and class discussion. Challenge: Students will be introduced to the idea of multiple identities which some may find more complex.

Extension Blind date – using the identity mapping exercise students will consider which 3 questions they would like to ask of someone to establish that person’s identity. If there is time we will carry out this exercise with some of the students as a mini-presentation.

Assessment Students understanding and learning will be assessed throughout through Q&A and discussion. Students will assess their own learning in the plenary against the intended learning outcomes.

Introduce the theme for the next part of the lesson which will focus British culture, specifically British youth culture.

Read through the Radio 1 story: it has been claimed that Radio 1 does not give enough airtime for songs by British artists. Ask students whether they agree with the criticism of Radio 1? Point out the French legislation whereby playlists must contain at least 40% music by French artists. Should this be the same in Britain? What about TV?

Ask the following questions for discussion: What are the benefits of having a mix of musical cultures in a country? Do countries lose a sense of identity when other cultures are added? Can you think of other examples of global products apart from music?

Students will be given 5 different categories: music, TV shows, music, clothing labels, fast foods. For each category students should list their 5 favourite. When students have completed all of the lists we will examine whether these are of British origin or from other countries. If we are unsure of the origins students can use the internet to research. When students have found the answer they will write next to each one wither B – for British or I – for Import.

As a discussion students can then use these results to answer the question: “How British is British Youth Culture?”

Students will watch the second Channel 4 Talking Race film on British Youth Culture and race relations.

20 mins Introduce the topic of globalisation and explain what the word means. As a result of TV, radio and the internet youth culture has become globalised as young people all over the world can access the same sounds and images.

Students will assess their learning from this section against the intended learning outcomes.

Plenary

Inclusion Access: Students are to be supported through teacher input and through Q&A and class discussion. Challenge: Students will be asked to analyse the benefits and disadvantages of globalisation in relation the British culture.

Extension ID cards – examine the use of ID cards across the world. Do students think ID cards are a good idea? Is it right that people should have certain aspects of their identity scrutinised? Should we introduce ID cards in the UK? If so, what information should they contain and when should they be used?

Assessment Students understanding and learning will be assessed throughout through Q&A and discussion. Students will assess their own learning in the plenary against the intended learning outcomes.

Tell the pupils they are now Beatha- and to answer the following questions from 1st person tense- How did YOU feel when you realised that the reason your Grandma was killed was simply because you were from a different ethnic group?How did you feel when you were at your uncle’s house and your cousins were killed?How did you feel when you were hiding and running away from the Interahamwe?How did you feel when you when you arrived in the UK?

20 minutes Group Activity: pupils split into groups and asked to imagine that they were forced to flee their homes due to war. In groups come up with 20 things that you would take with you. Tell pupils that due to limited space in wheelbarrow, cart, car etc they in fact will only be able to take 14. Choose 6 to eliminate and draw an X through these. Roads too congested for car, transport vehicle, will have to continue by foot. Now they can only take 6, so they must eliminate 8 more items. Feedback to class 6 items you have chosen. Point out it is unlikely any of them have chosen to take any identification or proof of their need to flee. Without this it is difficult for asylum seekers to be granted refugee status.

A weapon can get you out of trouble, but also into trouble.

A passport can get you across borders but it could lead to you being identified and arrested in your own country.

Family photos and address books will be important emotionally as you may never return home. Why is carrying them a risk in your own country?

Money, jewellery and anything of value can be used to bribe officials as you travel.

Finally ask the group if anyone has brought some proof that they were forced to leave their country. Without proof they will not be able to settle in the UK. (In this case trade union cards or the newspaper's list of wanted men would be good).

First pairs seated will win a prize (candy). Sit next to that person in a circle.

Feedback answers to the rest of the group- ensure any uncertainties are cleared up.

We are often sympathetic to the hardships that people suffer in war zones like Afghanistan. Why are we

sometimes less helpful when the same people are seeking asylum in the UK?
