Students decide how the presentation is to be delivered by everyone in the group to the rest of the class. The presentations are made by students themselves.

Other students have an opportunity to ask questions about the project, and to decide whether the project covers the citizenship objectives.

Students then decide if any of their findings can be promoted at a school level, and if so, they need to discuss this with the Citizenship coordinator (who might have been present at the presentations), to see if anything can be done.

Plenary

Students fill in a questionnaire about their participation in the project (Resource 3).

Homework

Complete filling in the questionnaire.
