Future changes
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can suggest and argue for preferred change in the local area using sources of evidence.
Key learning points
- Fieldwork data can be used in purposeful ways, such as making informed recommendations for change
- We can think about possible, probable and preferred futures: how can we apply this thinking to our locality?
- An effective enquiry cycle evaluates how useful it has been and what the next steps might be
Keywords
Purposeful - Something that is purposeful is done on purpose to achieve an aim.
Preferred - Something that is preferred is liked or wanted more than the other options.
Futures - Futures are periods of time that are yet to come.
Presentation - A presentation is a talk that gives information about something.
Evaluate - To evaluate is to form an opinion or judgement on something after considering it carefully.
Common misconception
Recommendations might not have been enacted or responded to but the enquiry was not a failure
Highlight the cost of enacting changes and the restrictions on budgets and resources.
Teacher tip
A follow up to this unit could be enacting some of the recommendations. For example, it would be nice to undertake a litter pick around the local area. You could then repeat the fieldwork and assess the impact of the change.
