In Stage 8 these relate to the syllabus topics, ‘Environment, pollution and conservation’, ‘Climate change, energy and resources’, ‘Development, trade and aid’, ‘Migration’, ‘Change in cultures and communities’, ‘Digital world’ and ‘Law and criminality’.
- Help students to assess their progress and understand how to improve: the final chapter asks students to apply the skills they have learned across Stage 8, by drafting a model UN resolution, taking part in a model UN debate and reflecting in writing on what they have learned.
- Encourage reflection through structured Reflection points in each lesson and a self-assessment Check your progress feature at the end of each chapter.
- The clear lesson-by-lesson approach allows teachers to easily use the resources in the classroom and build them into their own schemes of work.
- The Collins resources can be used as preparation for the Challenges, if schools wish, as each chapter in the Student’s Book links to the skills and topic focus of a Stage 8 Challenge.
