Calling all teachers: downloadable lesson plans

If you’re a teacher, looking to spend the Easter holidays planning lessons, our latest news could save you a little time.

mySociety has collaborated with the Citizenship Foundation on the creation of materials for use in schools.

These activities, written and tested in consultation with teachers, introduce students to concepts of democracy, citizenship and community. A number of the materials also show students how they can use mySociety websites such as WriteToThem, WhatDoTheyKnow or FixMyStreet to bring about change.

We hope that you will find these activities useful. They span years 1 to 13, will fit into a variety of curricula from Politics to Geography, and are completely free to download and use. Access them here – and please do pass the word on to your teacher colleagues.
