Kurzbeschreibung
The Issues series is designed for use on a year-by-year basis with this book corresponding to Year 10, but the structure is sufficiently flexible to allow teachers to use the units selectively. Because the units are self-contained they can also be used by subject specialists delivering cross-curricular themes separately or by teams of teachers delivering them through long-block timetabling arrangements. The numerous activities within each Issues pupil book involve the use of all the cross-curricular skills: communication; numeracy; study skills; problem solving; personal and social skills and IT.
Synopsis
This is the fourth book in a PSE course for pupils of all abilities at Key Stages 3 and 4. The series is designed for use on a year-by-year basis, with Book 1 corresponding to Year 7, but the structure is flexible enough to allow teachers to use the sections selectively. Each of the pupils' books contains at least three units on each of the themes which the NCC has identified as "essential parts of the whole curriculum" - economic and industrial understanding, careers education and guidance (including self-awareness), health education, education for citizenship and environmental education. The activities involve the use of all the cross-curricular skills - communication, numeracy, study skills, problem-solving, personal and social skills, and information technology. A book of teacher resources containing 20 photocopiable questionnaires, activities, further information and stimulus material, is available to accompany each pupils' book.
