Teaching Controversial Issues

This Global Citizenship Guide from Oxfam contains classroom activities for use with all ages across the curriculum. Teaching Controversial Issues explores what controversial issues are, why they should be taught, classroom strategies, existing guidance, and practical teaching activities. It has strategies for introducing and managing controversial issues in teaching, and also discusses the role of the teacher, how to set ground rules, and the pros and cons of choosing different teaching approaches. This is the second in Oxfam's series of free Global Citizenship guides for schools.
