Nuclear Power Station Hinkley Point Stakeholder Debate
This is a lesson I used with year 10 as a stake holder debate over the issue of Hinkley Point C.
The lesson starts with a cartoon about nuclear power allowing students to relfect on the different perspectives.
Then you will need to create groups for the four stakeholders.
Local Family
Stop Hinkley! Campaign
EDF
UK Government
They have sources to look at, to come up with a one minute speech for the debate.
The lesson ends in a relfection excercise where students place the arguments they heard on a balancing scale. This way they can reflect on the strength of the arguments from different stakeholders.
