The lesson teaches students about gambling and debt. Students begin the lesson with a fun gambling game before the topic is introduced so that they can identify the feeling of losing. The students are asked to identify what people can gamble on and then asked to distinguish between an occasional gambler and a problem gambler. Students are tasked with identifying the consequences of problem gambling before being asked to evaluate the wider impacts of gambling. Through problem-based scenarios and a risk ladder, students have to identify in their teams the level of risk. Students then learn about debt and money management schemes ranging from loan sharks, borrowing from friends, credit cards and Government Help schemes. Students have to pre-empt the risk associated with each scheme and justify their scoring.

PowerPoint and Workpack is in comic sans, size 14 and Powerpoint slides have a yellow background to ensure that it is SEN inclusive. The lesson includes differentiated learning tasks that challenge students to be critical thinkers. The lesson includes assessment for learning opportunities, such as an Exit Ticket and can also be used as a summative assessment. The Workpack can also be used to ‘catch-up’ absent students and lower ability students, that may require more processing time and reference points. The Workpack doubles up as a Knowledge Organiser.
The PowerPoint has teacher notes with suggested teaching ideas and questioning, as well as suggested times, to aid teachers. Tried and tested lesson, used by both specialist and non-specialist staff across inner city schools in the Northwest.
