Abuse - Information Booklet

(0)
An information booklet about types of abuse, how to spot it and what to do if you discover abuse, either through witnessing it or having it disclosed to you. Safeguarding and Protection of Children/Vulnerable Adults can be a daunting topic, this booklet is a simple guide to help people understand their responsibilities and role within safeguarding, and give them a little more information about the different types of abuse. It is a word document, so it can be amended to include institution specific information (EG name of Safeguarding Representative) or to add in more information, such as contact details or links to websites and other organisations that can provide sector specific information.

Poets of World War 1

(0)
These resources are basic handouts that I developed in order to teach a selection of poems by WW1 poets to KS3/KS4 students The poems/poets included are: Siegfried Sassoon - Glory Of Women Wilfred Owen - Dulce Et Decorum Est Lawrence Binyon - For The Fallen There are information sheets on all of the poets and their lives/backgrounds, and one extra on Hedd Wyn, the Welsh Bard who died in WW1. Lawrence Binyon's poem is not included in many anthologies, but it will be familiar to some students as a part of it is read out during memorials at the national and local cenotaphs. "They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn them" There is a comprehension exercise on Wilfred Owen's summary document, which ties into inference and reading between the lines, as well as a copy of Siegfried Sassoon's declaration against the war, which was read out in Parliament and published in many national news papers at the time. There are also some WW1 posters and an information sheet on the poisonous gases used in WW1, to support understanding in the poems by Sassoon and Owen.

Bad Teacher Bingo

(0)
Learning Objective: To understand how negative mindsets can be passed from teacher to learner This game is for teacher trainees, or for teachers taking part in CPD. It can also be used for assessors, teaching assistants and classroom volunteers. The aim of the game is to get people to reflect on their own experiences in learning and consider how their attitudes to learning can impact upon their teaching style. Negative 'teacher cliches' are highlighted and the negative impacts of these are discussed in the 'discussion points' handout, alongside suggested alternative phrases which foster a more positive learning environment. The resource was designed specifically to look at negative attitudes towards mathematics, but could be adapted for any subject area if you know any alternative teacher cliches from your own department! Pack includes: PowerPoint Instructions Bingo Cards Discussion Points handout Bingo Caller's Card with all points revealed

Bill, Jim and Macbeth - 10 things you didn't know about Shakespeare, King James and Macbeth!

(0)
A fact sheet and matching powerpoint which explains the historical and contextual significance of King James I of England and how politics in England in the early 1600s are reflected in the play Macbeth. Great for pointing out cross curricular links between History and English Literature! This resource encourages students to consider the role of the WRITER when writing essays on Macbeth, highlighing pieces of information that Shakespeare likely chose to include deliberately, to reflect current affairs, appeal to his company's new patron (King James) and to reflect the interests and beliefs of King James particularly, and his audience in general.
