Black History Month: Research Activities for Teens Are you looking for some fun independent research activities for your students to do when learning about Black History? This resource is really easy to use in your classroom – there are 16 printable worksheets which have the name and picture of some of the heroes of Black History: some are well-known and others are unsung heroes. Students can then undertake their own research (at home or in lessons) to find out more about these people, and then reflect on why they think they are so inspirational and have made such a positive impact on Black History. There is also a blank version at the end for students to research their own hero! Resource includes: • Martin Luther King Jr. • Frederick Douglass • Harriet Tubman • Mary Seacole • George Washington Carver • Booker T. Washington • Rosa Parks • Muhammad Ali • Malcolm X • William H. Hastie • Maya Angelou • Thurgood Marshall • Nelson Mandela • James Meredith • Ruby Bridges • Elijah McCoy This is great way for students to do some background research on some of the heroes that have shaped Black History and can be completed at home or during a lesson - there are plenty to choose from!

UCAS / Job Reference Writing Guide

(0)
If you are a form tutor or are required to write a reference for your students, then this resource will really help you out! This should help make the process of writing UCAS / Job references for your students much easier for you, whilst giving your students the opportunity to take ownership of their reference. This is especially helpful if you are a new tutor and haven’t had the opportunity to learn much about your students yet, as they will tell you everything you need to know with this resource! Oftentimes, students can be very modest with their achievements and abilities and so this resource will really help to tease out their best qualities enabling you to simply lift content from their notes into your own reference. This is a 2 page resource which could be printed double sided. One side is for students to fill out and the other is a guide with some examples to help direct them and ensure they consider all their achievements and qualities. I hope this saves you lots of time and makes the reference writing process much smoother and more efficient!
