This lesson/project idea will develop a knowledge and
understanding of leisure facilities available in and around the
Clyde. This knowledge will be applied in a real life
context. Young people will work as 'fact finders' in teams to
design and produce a fact file on leisure activities available in
and around the Clyde. They will have opportunities to interact with
members of the local community and to invite organisations who
provide facilities to come into the school.
