This Anti-Racism assembly or tutor time presentation is a very popular and highly effective assembly looking at the root causes of racism. It also highlights why racism is ridiculous and what we can do about it. It highlights many of the major stories in the world today (from Brexit to Megxit to Trump to the refugee crisis) to show how they all have a racist background (You may wish to update this slide with the latest stories of the day, but that is up to you). The assembly also looks at DNA and how we are all interconnected in ways we aren’t full aware of. This include a fantastic video which explains our DNA journey. It includes tips on how to combat racism and quotes about race (from Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King) A thought provoking but really interesting assembly.

This assembly addresses the gun epidemic in the USA, by looking at: -The history of guns in the USA -The causes of the gun problem -The NRA -Trump and the Republican party And causes for optimism for the future. It was written in the aftermath of the Parkland School Shooting but is just as applicable to any mass shooting in the USA (update in light of the tragic 2022 school shooting at Robb Elementry school). This is a well presented, well research, topical and very interesting assembly that covers the gun debate in some detail.

**This is a fantastic assembly designed to deal with the issue of Gossip or rumours in a school context. ** It was observed by Ofsted and they said it was Outstanding This assembly looks at: -The definition of gossip -Where the term comes from -Why people gossip -What surveys show about gossip in the UK today -What the impact of gossip is -How it can be avoided -6 tips to reduced gossip The assembly can be a straight forward teacher presentation or you can include some audience participation (Q&As, a demonstration of gossip, a quick survey) There are notes under every slide to help the presenter. The assembly should take 15 to 20 minutes. If you are short on time you could skip the video and the quotes. I have also included a follow up activity for form tutors following the assembly to consolidate the key message. All images in this presentation are free to use under a Creative Commons Licence.

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.

This is an outstanding assembly about the future and the choices students will have to make to get ahead of the competition. This is a perfect assembly for student building up to their exams. The assembly gets them to think like employers and ask them who they would choose when faced with three applicants and ten different areas. For each area (such as punctuality, references, experience, appearance etc.) the students are presented with three options and they have to pick the one they think would make the best impression. The point being these are all situations they may well be faced with in the future and they need to make the right choices to get ahead. This assembly also includes a video (which is optional based on how much time you have) as well as a powerful message. This assembly was delivered to year 11 and year 13 but would also be suitable for KS3. The assmbly should take about 15 to 20 min to deliver (less if you don’t show the video clip).

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.
