programme of study for Citizenship at KS4.
The Feel Good Factor website provides a range of materials
which can be used in PSHEE or Citizenship lessons.
The different sections of the site can be selected from
the left-hand navigation. Each section consists of a page
of text accompanied by activities, for use in the classroom.
Sections can be used individually, or linked together to form
a programme of lessons on issues of teenage concern. The information
is aimed primarily at Key Stage 4 students but could be adapted
for Key Stage 3. The themes are wide ranging and include many
topics for discussion. The Feel Good Factor covers areas such
as adolescence, teenage feelings, rights and responsibilities,
planning for the future and an awareness of the world in which
we live.
The aims of the revised National Curriculum are to develop
successful learners, confident individuals and responsible
citizens and this website aims to help address aspects of
these attributes. The Feel Good Factor gives students an opportunity
to reflect on their development and improve their well being.
This site is not a comprehensive Citizenship or PHSEE resource,
but aims to provide thought-provoking materials to stimulate
further research and debate. Sex Education is not included
in this resource, but the list of websites provided at the
end of these notes offers further reference material and more
detailed subject matter
This page introduces teenage concerns and prompts students
to consider themselves and how they fit in to society. The
activities ask students to consider what makes them happy
and sad. They look at the history of teenagers and consider
the different teenage cliques that have existed in recent
times. It will support PSHE objectives in developing confidence
and responsibility, helping students to make the most of their
abilities.
Extension work could be carried out on youth cultures, and
local sources of help for young people.
