NB: We would like to draw your attention to the evaluation in the Evaluation section.
This recording sheet may be used at this early stage and subsequently at intervals, throughout the year to measure awareness and learning, as a
result of the activities carried out.

This third series of lessons based around the theme of ‘Race’ will provide you with starting points for the exploration of issues associated with racism. Each series of lessons will address these overall aims

• to encourage students to appreciate how they themselves are different, contributing to a climate of respect for the differences present within the class.

• to prepare students for intercultural living in society.

Each activity will have identifiable objectives, associated materials and tasks and will provide the students with the opportunity to upload their individual or collective responses to the website www.niclr.com/NetConnect. It is worth noting that some of this material is designed to challenge the accepted, or indeed your own view. Use the differences as a basis for further exploration and discussion. Much of the material contained in this section needs to be handled sensitively by the teacher. In particular, 'Exclusively Yours' needs skilful management on the part of the teacher. It is important to reinforce the charter of rights established by the students in Issue 1 where it was made clear that all students should be given a voice and not feel intimidated. In the 'Bowled Over' game it is vital that the teacher stresses this activity is for the student's own reflection and no one will be forced to disclose his/her scores.
