This assembly resource has been created with KS3 and KS4 secondary students in mind to be delivered on Holocaust Memorial Day (27th January). This resource has been created on Microsoft Powerpoint Teacher Notes have been added to the notes section underneath each relevant slide on the Powerpoint to support with the delivery of the content. I am a history teacher and the content of this assembly resource is an extension of a type of activity that I would deliver to my history students when teaching the holocaust. This assembly resource offers a brief exploration using skills of inference of a historical artefact and relies upon student contributions through teacher questionning. A link to a Youtube video has been provided as part of this resource (please ensure you have access to youtube prior to use) This resource also makes reference to the 2026 Holocaust Memorial Day theme of ‘Bridging Generations’. The utmost care has been taken to ensure this resource has been created with the utmost respect to the victims of the holocaust and to ensure that students have the opportunity to connect and empathise to the human beings to whom the attrocities of the holocaust were committed. There a no images or corpses in this resource - however the murder of victims is discussed. I really hope you enjoy delivering this assembly and that your students find it engaging and valuable. If you are able to leave a review once you have taught it, I would be really grateful. Teaching Holocaust in history? Check out lessons from my scheme of work!

Looking for a language lesson that goes beyond the usual"Why learn languages?" discussion? This engaging and thought-provoking PowerPoint tackles a question many students genuinely ask: “Why can’t everyone just speak the same language?” Rather than focusing on the benefits of language learning alone, this resource explores a common misconception that often arises in MFL classrooms. Through relatable examples from social media, music, gaming, popular culture and everyday vocabulary, students are encouraged to think critically about why languages exist, why they continue to change, and why a single global language is unlikely to remain uniform for long. Students will discover: How languages are already part of everyday life Why language is about culture, identity and history, not just communication How English has changed over time and continues to evolve What would happen if the entire world spoke English How new languages develop from existing ones Fascinating words from other languages that have no direct English equivalent The lesson encourages discussion, curiosity and global awareness while helping students understand that learning languages is ultimately about understanding people and different perspectives. Perfect for: European Day of Languages Cultural awareness and global citizenship activities Included: 14-slide editable PowerPoint Student-friendly examples and scenarios A fresh approach to language learning that addresses a real student question rather than repeating the standard “benefits of languages” message A unique resource that challenges assumptions, sparks debate and helps students see languages in a completely different way.
