Are floods an act of God? Taking it that one step further

Taking it that one important step further.

Beyond the 4 lessons, where practically possible, it is important that students 'do something' with what they have learnt. Effective school citizenship only takes place when students share their learning with audiences beyond the classroom; this can be within the school, their local, national or global communities.

For example:

  • Write articles for the school or local newspaper relating to their 'Possible Futures'.
  • Prepare a flood prevention display for the school building or local council office.
  • Write letters making recommendations to MPs, local councillors or the European Parliament.
  • Use video link to discuss/debate your concerns about flooding with other local schools or perhaps go global and hold a forum with schools overseas (there are plenty of schools in Mississippi who are keen to make contact with UK schools).
