3 Unit Title: In, Out and Beyond Sub Theme: What s Out There Thinking Skills and Personal Capabilities: Managing Information Curriculum Objective: To develop the young person as a contributor to society Key Elements: Personal understanding, mutual understanding, moral character, citizenship, personal health, cultural understanding Attitudes and Dispositions: Personal responsibility, concern for others, openness to new ideas, community spirit, flexibility, respect, tolerance Learning Experiences: Linked to other curriculum areas, relevant and enjoyable, media-rich, skills-integrated, active and hands on The Thematic Units connect the Learning for Life and Work subject strands of Personal Development, Local and Global Citizenship, Home Economics and Employability and demonstrate how they contribute to the understanding of a central theme. They provide a number of learning, teaching and assessment activities (and are accompanied by supporting resources) to help you address, interpret and develop the Northern Ireland Curriculum s key elements and Statements of Minimum Requirement. Each Thematic Unit contributes to the statutory requirement for Learning for Life and Work and also links to other Areas of Learning. In addition, there are opportunities to develop learners Thinking Skills and Personal Capabilities, incorporate Assessment for Learning principles and make connections to the Cross Curricular Skills. The units are not intended to be prescriptive and are not the only way to approach the Northern Ireland Curriculum. You do not have to follow them rigidly. Instead, we encourage you to choose from the wide range of learning, teaching and assessment activities in the units and adapt and extend them as appropriate for your classes. 1 In, Out and Beyond Thematic Unit What s Out There

My dear brother, How are you all? I m working very hard here. My English is much better now and I can read newspapers and talk to others. I really missed my family at the start, but I have made some friends now. Some people were bullying me at work because I don t come from here, but everyone is much friendlier now. I didn t like the food either, but I can buy things I like in the supermarket. It s strange getting used to using different money. I m moving to a bigger house soon. The one I m living in now is small, and there are too many of us living there. We use buses to get around, but when I arrived here at first I couldn t understand the timetables and I got lost. I don t have problems now as people have helped me in many ways. Say hi to Mum from me. I ll write again soon, Your brother 73 In, Out and Beyond Thematic Unit What s Out There
