Pupils needing extra support:

• Should use the Activity: Democracy role play cards: support version during the debate in the Main event.
• Should refer to the features of democracy when preparing arguments for the debate.
• Could use the sentence starters shown in the slide during the debate.

Pupils working at greater depth:

• Should add additional ideas shown in the video during the democracy features sort, using the blank feature cards provided in each set. For example, ‘Only ten to twenty percent of the population of Athens were citizens and allowed to vote.’
• Should develop more detailed arguments during the debate by explaining advantages and limitations of both Athenian and modern democracy. For example, ‘In large countries, it would be difficult for everyone to meet and vote on every law, so representatives make the system more practical.’
