There are different types of pressure groups. Lesson Starter There are different types of pressure groups. Explain, in your own words, the different types of Pressure Groups in the UK.

Today we will… Identify how pressure groups get support and publicise their cause.

Success Criteria I can list and give examples of the different methods pressure groups use. I can define the meaning of direct action and give relevant examples.
