The individual bunting triangles could be used to make a hanging display in your classroom (there is a flap across the top to fold over a string) and the flag design would make a lovely wall display. The resource is aimed at primary aged students - mainly upper KS2 students however it could be used with lower KS2 classes with a little more teacher guidance. This has been created as an independent student activity but it could equally work as a paired discussion activity with students interviewing one another and completing the flag on their peers behalf. Questions on the bunting include things such as, name, birthday, self portrait frame, favourite book and subjects. Please note this resource is an activity with templates and student instructions not for a full lesson powerpoint.

This lesson has been created for KS3 history students and is the first lesson in a series on the Titanic. Students will specifically look at why the Titanic is so famous and investigate, using data, whether women and children really were prioritised to be saved first. The lesson looks firstly at prior knowledge then a literacy comprehension tasks to pull out out facts about the Titanic and gain a broad understanding about why the Titanic is so infamous. Students then look at data showing the different social classes aboard the Titanic and the mortality rates of the passengers. Students use cross-curricular skills and produce a graph showing this data and then using closed questioning for direction students explain the patterns they notice between mortality rates and class of passenger/sex and age of passengers. Squared or graph paper is ideally required to complete this task easily and neatly. The lesson offers an opportunity for independent work and a paired activity in the format of a plenary game. when exploring the different inventions and the inventors developed during the 18th Century. A homework opportunity is provided and accompanying homework slips are included in the supporting resources.
