Your Justice, Your World: Reviewers Needed

SophiStatue of Justicee Bessemer has emailed me to tell me about this new resource. It has sections for students and parent as well as teachers. As you might gather from its name, YJYW is designed for use in Citizenship and similar classes.

I've had a quick look, and I think that with a bit of tweaking it would also be useful in the Society, Health and Development Diploma, since that has a substantial legal element.

The site contains resources such as ideas for extension work and role play, links to useful organisations, comprehensive glossaries and downloadable activity sheets. I need at least one primary specialist and at least one secondary specialist to review the site. The review does not have to be the length of War and Peace! A few paragraphs addressing issues such as accuracy and usability of the resources, ease of use of the website and so on are all that's needed. If you're interested, please email me your review. In so doing you will be assumed to be happy for me to publish your name and a bit about you, e.g. Freda Blogs is a teacher of Citizenship at a school in Essex. (You don't have to cite the name of the school if you'd rather not.) Feel free to provide a website or blog address so that people can visit you or your place of work. Your email address won't be published unless you ask for it to be.

I will also assume that you agree with the terms and conditions. You will retain the copyright.

Now, by so doing you will gain instant fame, though not, alas, fortune. However, you can bask in the warm glow of knowing that your reflections may help others. The only thing is (there is always a catch, isn't there?), I need the review by 24 September. It would help me if you could let me know if you intend to submit a review.
