A Few Ideas

Average Rating3.83
(based on 138 reviews)

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.

Year 7 Citizenship 1: Citizenship and Identity

(0)
This is an ambitious project to cover the entire UK citizenship government framework in 26 lessons of increasing difficulty over 5 age groups (11-16). It uses a range of teaching strategies, including individual and team work, developing public speaking skills and active citizenship engagement in the year 8 section of the course. It focuses on students having a keen idea of their own background whilst also being able to ‘sonder’ (appreciate the realness of others) and truly empathise, as well as having a historical understanding of why we are where we are in the world. This lesson starts with the students own identity, before moving on to consider the South African concept of Ubuntu: I am because we are. This lesson Can be bought as part of a package. These schemes use key questions instead of learning objectives which are then used as mini plenaries throughout. Videos and worksheets included as powerpoint slides for ease of access and printing where necessary. Key questions What is identity? What is culture? Is there an ‘us’ and a ‘them’? Challenge: Evaluate the idea of Ubuntu. Feedback always welcome.
