| Title | Modern Studies: Decision making in central government |
| Description | These materials have been produced to cover the SQA descriptor for Higher Modern Studies, Political Issues in the United Kingdom – Study Theme 1B: Decision Making in Central Government. These support materials are split into two booklets: one for the students, providing core information about the topic; and one for the teacher for adaptation and use as required. At the start of each activity are brief introductory comments explaining the suggested approach to the activities. This resource provides a baseline of knowledge for pupils and a bank of user-friendly, interactive classroom activities that can be adapted by teachers for use in their own classroom settings. The activities are closely linked to the principles of Curriculum for Excellence and Assessment is for Learning. |
