Learning at Third and Fourth Level is likely to be for young people in S1, S2 and S3, but it can be earlier or later for some. It is the role of the teacher/facilitator to decide when a young person or group should be learning at this Level. The learning activities described here work across Third and Fourth Level. An indication is given of content that could form the starting point of work, with progression to other topics also indicated.
If you have any technical difficulties with digital content, for example on platforms like YouTube, please check our Using digital content/URLS information. To use the slides provided, first download/’save as’ and then open from your download folder/desktop location.
The activities described are designed for a 50-minute class/session. The Activity Plans are not a script, they are a suggested approach with some proposed activities to support teaching and learning. If you are a confident practitioner, you might dip in and out of the activities. If you feel you will benefit from more of a structure, then you can use what is suggested. This may depend on the topic.
There are information leaflets for parents and carers provided at the bottom of this level.
