Issue Trees
This methodology uses a simple technique to support learners to ask critical questions about an issue and encourage discussion at home.
Here are five examples to get you started:
1 - Page 4 of our very own ‘Making Connections‘ resource, in collaboration with Glasgow Museums, looks at refugees, past & present.
2 - Page 29 of ScotDEC’s Food and Farming resource, they look at subsistence farming in Malawi.
3 - On pages 60-61 of our Nelson Mandela resource, the issue tree looks at racism.
4 - In ScotDEC’s Our Forest Our Future, they look at deforestation. You’ll find the issue tree in section 3, lesson 1.
5 - Page 13 of Oxfam’s Global Citizenship In The Classroom looks at water security.
