Complete lesson

Students invent the policies of either of two imaginary political parties: the Right to Freedom party and the Law and Order party, and then try to present their policies to a member of the opposition.

The resource includes teaching notes on staging the activity in full, including a discussion of what political parties are all about, before going on to develop clear policies on the following topics:

  • taxation and spending
  • industry and employment
  • crime
  • immigration
  • health
  • education
  • environment.

This activity helps students to see issues from various viewpoints and to present a clear line of argument.
