This is a colourful 11-page powerpoint file explaining the causes of UK Poverty and how they might be tackled. The resource uses Marcus Rashford as a hook to begin the lesson. The topic is handled sensitively and delicately. Subsections include: common misconceptions, newspaper headlines, causes and explanations of poverty in the UK, and relative v. abject poverty. Activities include warm-up and revision, questions and answers (provided), a true or false exercise, a gap-fill exercise, think-pair-share exercises, a short reading comprehension and tables containing data, as well as photos of what UK poverty looks like. For ages 11-15
