This resource is fantastic for both group and independent work. The students are given a task which they have to complete independently; the resource helps them plan and discover/investigate what they know already and what they need to find out. This also allows them to make cross curricular links and discuss how skills/techniques/processes learnt in other subjects could help complete the task. Has worked successfully for KS4 classes and promotes independent learning.

The British Empire This lesson focuses on the role Gandhi played in achieving Indian independence from Britain which ultimately cost him his life. The first part of the lesson looks at why the Indian population were unhappy with British rule, from the Indian Mutiny of 1857, events happening abroad to the Rowlatt Act culminating in the Amritsar Massacre. They are then introduced to Gandhi, his philosophy of passive resistance (or as he called it satyagraha) and why he set up his Independent Congress Party. This is accompanied with some excellent video footage from the BBC as well as clips from the film ‘Gandhi’ by Sir Richard Attenborough. The second part of the lesson centers around his life and by analysing various sources from which they complete either a table or grid; students then have to decide how big a part Gandhi played in many events leading to Independence and his lasting legacy for India in 1947. The lesson comes with retrieval practice activities, suggested teaching and learning strategies, differentiated materials and is linked to the latest historical interpretations, video clips and debate. The lesson is enquiry based with a key question posed at the start of the lesson and revisited at the end to show the progress of learning. The lesson is fully adaptable in PowerPoint format and can be changed to suit.

STUCK FOR LEARNING ACTIVITIES FOR A STUDENT WHO IN NOT IN NORMAL LESSONS ? THIS MAY BE THE RESOURCE FOR YOU ! The booklet provides a series of activities which can be used for students who are not in normal lessons. Each of the activities provide a learning experience for students who are working on their own. This may be because they are in isolation or on detention, for example. Whilst there may occasionally be a need for teacher input, the activities are designed to be self-explanatory or reinforce prior learning. There are over 20 activities to complete in this booklet. It is aimed at Key Stage 3 students but would also be suitable for brighter KS2 students or less able KS4 students. The activities will provide clear outcomes making it easy for teachers to check that the work has been completed (and is correct). The activities cover a range of subjects from literacy and numeracy to Humanities and the Arts. Activities are one off activities but promote key skills and knowledge, together with some activities which promote thinking skills. This will enable the teacher to make choices as to what the students needs to complete, dependent upon factors such as ability, interest or the daily timetable of the student.
