How can we tell if a country is democratic?
This lesson is part 1 of a sequence of 6 lessons addressing the key enquiry: Should the UK be called a democracy?
This lesson provides students with the opportunity to discuss the concept of democracy. They explore the key features of a democratic society and begin to identify whether different countries are democratic. This lesson has been designed for delivery as a double lesson. Timings for each task are given as guidelines.
Students will work towards answering the following questions:
- What do we mean by ‘democracy’?
- What are the key features of a democracy?
