SoW: What are the causes and consequences of migration? L5: What was life like for the first Caribbean migrants? L1: Why are some areas of the world more densely populated than others? - Free - https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12695361 This unit is created in line with my personal passion for Population & Migration. This unit is framed around the cause and consequences of the global population growth, and the process and systems behind this geographical issue. A conscience effect has also been made to embed dual coding within this SoW, as well as much differentiation and scaffolding. This Unit is my favorite to deliver and has been streamlined over the last two years.

This can be used as an assembly or a lesson. The PowerPoint covers Caribbean history from colonialism to the present day. Three writing activities are included (analysis of a poem, writing postcards and writing a description suggested by a picture).

I have created a lesson which is part based on an analysis of the Windrush passenger database and part on exploring the stories of the individuals impacted by the scandal. This lesson has been set as a home learning activity for my Year 8 classes. The first activity is a series of questions based on investigating the database of the passengers and then looking closely at the landing cards of the individuals headed for Wolverhampton (you may want to adapt this to make it more suitable for your local area). The next section is looking at what the scandal was and the impact it has had. Final task includes a range of differentiated activities. I have included links to the database and the article used both in the PowerPoint.

Perfect for Black History Month! This is a 4/5 lesson enquiry; entitled ‘**How far were the Windrush Generation welcomed to Britain?’ This enquiry was initially designed as a compare/ contrast enquiry following a traditional USA Civil Rights enquiry. It could be taught to a higher able year 8 class, but due to the inclusion of GCSE style activities/ questions, it is best suited to teach in year 9. This enquiry could also be condensed down for stand alone Black History Month lessons in October or for Windrush Day learning activities in June. The lessons include : a clear and straight - forward lesson plan on the first slide clearly labelled student resources on the slides (no fuss of looking through extra docs.) differentiated/ SEN/ EAL resources included guidance/ extra info for teachers in the ‘notes’ section The lesson titles are as follows: L1: Who were the Windrush Generation and why did they come to Britain?

Dear Reader, This lesson teaches on the experiences that Caribbean immigrants faced when coming to UK. It aims to have students matching general knowledge and original sources while developing their writing ability. All of my lessons have a same-model structure to get the students taught in a coherent manner, and always understand where they are at in their learning: First slide ( questions to revise learning-date-word bank-previous lesson and next one-image to connect to the topic.) Second slide (learning objectives and a question on the main topic). Three tasks based on levels of difficulties. The third task is always a written one, matching the GCSE writing framework. The two first tasks are group or class-assessed, the third is individual and gives you the chance to go around the class and support writing on one on one. Homework, reading resources and task templates are included. This work should be ideal for Ks 3r and is already set as slideshow.
