1a)
Visit the
websites of the main political parties and find out their views on major issues. You will find a lot of information
here!
1b)
You are now going to delve into the GURU site (BBC).
Please, read the complete paragraph before starting "GURU"!
Sometimes the system will load veeery slowly. You should definitely have a speedy connection to the Internet.
There are two necessities:
- You'll need a 'Flash' player. If you haven't got one it is to be found
here!
- You'll have to register to get a username and a password
If your computer refuses to install the 'Flash' player, contact the administrator of the system. You're probably short of system privileges/rights.
At the top of the GURU opening page you'll find five options: choose 'General Studies'
In the tree-structure which appears you should move your arrow to 'Society' and then click 'UK Constitution' and 'UK Politics'. You may just as well try other menu-options, too, but those mentioned are the two most important ones.
The GURU system is a mixture of information, questions and excercises, and you should try it out on your own.
Open your wordprocessor (Wordpad won't choke your system...) and copy all important information. It may also be necessary to write some lines by yourself because it is difficult to copy Flash-texts.
We'll spend a lesson on this activity!
Finally, we'll gather in the classroom for a discussion.
GURU will be opened in a new window making it easy to read these instructions again.
You may start GURU now!
Good luck!
