A Few Ideas

Boredom is the enemy of education. These resources aim to give students an engaging, fun way into topics that are relevant to their lives, including awkward ones like sex education, and informing about issues that are shaping the world and their future. My hope is that they help be an effective tool to the teacher to wake up a hunger for knowledge in students, and that everyone in the classroom would have a more enjoyable and enriching experience because of their use.

Crime and Punishment: Born Evil? Case Studies (Fred and Rose West, James Bulger, Josef Fritzl)

(1)
This is a set of resources for year 9 and up, and should not be used for students any younger. The objectives are to describe a case study of evil (the largest powerpoint focusses mainly of Jamie Bulger, but the resources can be adapted to look at any of the topics). There are 13 resources here, with evidence students can evaluate from each example. There are also 'Must, should, could' guidance as well as plenty of opportunity for extension of gifted and talented students. Good links to Citizenship, religious studies, Sociology, and the activities are pretty self explanatory. Radio show links, videos included. This is a pretty harrowing subject to teach, but sometimes students seem to be particularly interested in real life examples and applications. When discussing things like Capital Punishment it seems particularly helpful to bring into relief the truly horrible things people do sometimes, and how a responsible society should respond.

6 lessons which explore democracy, mutual respect, tolerance, rule of law and liberty through a variety of lenses. Aiming to hit PHSE, SMSC, Citizenship and FBV targets this scheme of work is pretty ambitious. The lessons include: A personal perspective: where are we looking from? Uncomfortable histories: how has britain not lived up to FBV in the past? Money and Exploitation: how money is used and abused in meeting FBV Cultural Variations: Is our way the right way? Ways Forward: So how can we improve the situation? FBV and Global Citizenship Assessment Lessons include differentiated activities, group, pair, whole class and individual work, with a wide variety of videos and tasks to be getting on with. Students tend to enjoy these lessons.

Lesson 6) Global Citizenship and Fundamental British Values Assessment

(0)
An assessment to see how much students have engaged and learnt from this scheme of work. There are two options, with differentiated questions to answer one after the other or a creative assessment option where students create something of their choosing (poem, rap, painting etc. which answers the questions in their own way). It comes with printable questions and levelled marking grids to help you mark in a time efficient, clear way. Enjoy :)
