4. What is the social issue of your chosen charity?
Can you explain how your charity is making a difference?
How can YOU help your charity? What could you, your friends, your family members and/ or school community do?
Find facts and/ or statistics which prove your charity is doing a worthwhile job. (These can be either about the charity or the issue.)
Construct a mind map about the key ideas of your organisation. (See weebly section 1.3)
Read the newspaper article on our weebly and justify the statement: “Charities have usually a good cause in mind but they are not always effective.” (See weebly section 1.3, click on “BBC- Arguments against charity”)
Choose your own task based on your confidence on the topic!
Tip: Work at your own pace, this is not a race!
