Describe how Indian people were treated in South Africa at the time that Gandhi came to live here. Tell learners about Gandhi’s peaceful work to stop injustice while he was a lawyer in South Africa. Also explain about his work in India after 1915, and describe the protest that he led to make salt.
Resources
Pictures and posters of Robben Island, Nelson Mandela, the salt march, Mahatma Gandhi and peaceful protestors in South Africa and India.
Vocabulary
New words that learners may be unfamiliar with are in the New word boxes in the margin of the Learner’s Book. For example, the words ‘injustice’ and ‘conflict’ are explained in this section. When the class reads through the text, point out the new words in the context where they are used. Encourage learners to use the new words in their own sentences.
Pacing
This unit should take about 10 hours to complete. There are four activities in the unit, which will take up half the time, but will provide useful consolidation of the content of the section.
Additional information for teachers Mandela’s work with children
On the website for Madiba's Kids Club, children can learn more about Nelson Mandela. Look at:
http://www.madibakidsclub.co.za. There are competitions and games for kids too. Also read about the Mandela Children's Fund at:
http://www.nelsonmandelachildrensfund.com. This children's fund (Nelson Mandela Children's Fund, of NMCF) was founded by Mandela in 1995. From 1996 to 1998 the organisation collected a big amount of money in order to finance 780 projects, which improved the lives of children. During 1999 the organisation funded a research project investigating the national policies regarding children. As a result of the insight gained by the research, the Sakha Ikusasa strategy was launched in 2000. The children's fund now concentrates on the development of the wider community, with the aim of so improving the lives of children and the youth. Part of the children's fund goes to the Nelson Mandela Children's Parliament, which sat on July 2011 for the first time. The main purpose of the parliament is for children to hold each other
accountable.The parliament also enables children to take part in the process of democracy, because they can discuss problems that concern them and by doing so their citizenship becomes more meaningful to them
