Getting started on AS Politics - introducing constitutions
4th September 2016
Every day this week I'll be posting a teaching resource or lesson idea for kickstarting your AS Politics teaching. The first resource is one of our favourites here at tutor2u, and has been a winner for the last few years at our Politics CPD events. The resource is called The Pirate Code, and introduces students to the concept of a constitution and the different formats it can take. If you can find a pirate hat to wear whilst playing the game then all the better...
You can download the Pirate Code PDF activity here and the full teacher instructions here.
