Description: for use in social science classrooms. The materials include a
student text and a teacher's guide, and are designed for students aged 14 and older. Critical Choices is not a textbook, but a resource for public discussion and debate on policy issues. These materials, and the discussions that are engendered, are intended to foster public discourse and citizen involvement. A half dozen topics is presented such as unemployment, crime and national security. For each topic, a research-based introduction is given to the problem, followed by three differing opinions on possible solutions. The teacher's guide offers suggestions for organising 'classroom forums' or discussions on the issues, for guiding and enriching the discussion, finding solutions, and for organising follow-up activities.
