Outstanding debate and transactional writing lesson KS4

Are humans more important than animals? Does social status impact outcomes?
This set of lessons provides excellent opportunity for speaking and listening before delving students into colourful, silent debates on a carousel of interesting topics (picked by my year 10 class).

There are even links to their English literature texts so it provides a really excellent cross-topic study (texts linked to debate topics are: Jekyll and Hyde and An Inspector Calls).
This leads to a transactional GCSE English Language style writing assessment at the very end of the slide.

Plenty of support provided for printing and engaging stretch and challenge tips and tasks.
Fully editable and valuable KS4 resource. My class are a set 2 Y10 class and the first lesson was graded ‘outstanding’.*
