Review of unit 4
You need about an hour.
What have we done?
Before you leave this unit, look back over what you have done using activity sheet 32. First, on your
own, score from 1-5 how much you feel you have learnt about each of the unit’s three aims (1 is a
little and 5 is a lot). Mark in the box on the right anything more you want to do to take forward your
learning. Now come together as a group to consider what you have learnt as a group. How are you
doing together? Write in the box at the bottom what additional actions you may want to take as a
group to strengthen your understanding of any particular part of the unit.
You will have now reflected on your own personal learning and how the group is doing as a whole and what
you agree needs to happen next.
| Aim | Personal score | Group score | What do I want to do next? | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low | High | Low | High | ||||
| Creating a clear message | 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 | 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 | |||||
| Getting the message across | 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 | 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 | |||||

A right review
Rights to a fair deal – Articles 9-11, 18-21, 24-40
Act by Right is rooted in the Convention on the Rights of the Child. By developing your own Act
by Right Charter, the group should increase its understanding of your rights to participate in
the issues affecting you and strengthen your arguments to be taken seriously and get things
changed. Reflect on your learning in this unit and look particularly at the Articles indicated
above which are in your copy of the Convention in the Resource Section. A lot of these Rights in
the Convention are about improving the provision of services and the protection of children and
young people. Discuss the questions below and agree at least two Articles that link well to your
work as a group and add them to your Act by Right Charter (blank copy downloadable from here) and complete the three columns: the number of
the Article, ‘The Article says’ and three action points in the ‘What we are going to do’ column.
- Which of these Articles are most relevant to the work of the group?
- Do you think some important areas are missing? What other laws and policies can support your activity?
- How can you use the Articles to promote the work of the group?
Before you move on
Reflecting on what you’ve learnt and the skills you’ve gained give yourself a personal challenege to complete during the week.
How about:
- Call a local venue to discuss the green policies they may have.
- Talk to someone about your campaign.
- Talk to a national environmental organisation and see how they are keeping a current campaign alive.
