The content that we look at in lessons has so many applications to the world around us, and so I have set up an instagram where I will be sharing both historical and current examples. I will be using this in lessons as either a ‘Do Now’ or plenary activity - with the aim of making student think critically about the world around them. I hope this will be a useful, free resource for teachers. Link below:
