A good lesson to highlight student attitudes and misconceptions.

This lesson is to help the students to plan their revision by doing a twist on the idea of a post mortem. While a post mortem is after the event, the pre-mortem does the same thing but before the event (or exam). So instead of thinking about why they failed, they will think about why they might fail and try to put into place a plan to prevent that happening! A useful and thought provoking lesson.

Title: Say what you mean and mean what you say This assembly focuses on getting the students to think about communicating clearly as words have consequences. It does this by looking at bad translations, famous parables and an amusing story. It culminates with a hilarious true(ish) story about a lost in translation discussion between a Swiss Priest and an English school teacher. This is one of my most popular assemblies with the students discussing it long after it has been held and requesting a follow up for a long time afterwards! This is a good assembly with a strong message.

This is a fantastic twist on the flash cards idea that will prove to be a really useful revision tool in class. INSTRUCTIONS: There are 28 cards with key words on one side and their definitions on the other side. The twist, no one has a matching key word and definition. So they need to call out their key word and everyone must look at their definitions to see if they have the definition to that key word. If they do, they flip their card over and read out their key word and so on until you go all around the class and back to the first person who read out. This can get really competitive and forces the students to learn ALL the key words and definitions. You can make up your own rules (personally I time it, and every time there is a mistake I make them swap cards and start again!). This activity can easily be adapted to other schemes of work or even other subjects. I have used it for RE, History and Humanities. A fantastic and useful resource.
