World view - PSD? Cross-curricular topic work?

Does it matter? As I've said before, it's what the kids are getting out of it that matters most.

Last week, the homework task centred around Kosovo. The emergence of a new "nation" in the midst of our Europe topic was too good an opportunity to miss (and a great example of flexibility in the planning & delivery of the curriculum too!)

"EUROPE: A new European “nation” came into being at the weekend. There will be LOADS about it in the news and online at the moment. Can you find out as much as you possibly can about this new country (name, location, why it has emerged, population and so on) and make an information leaflet on it. The leaflet should be A4, double sided and in booklet form"
