A quick and easily adaptable resource to introduce students this Black History Month to countries in Africa and the Caribbean that formed part of the British Empire. This resource will get students thinking and to uncover how the colonies were used to a large extent to support the Great Britain they we see now. Suitable for homework or a computer lesson where students conduct their own research based on categories provided. Extended tasks have also been provided but you may also further challenge students with a diamond 9 activity. Have fun using it.

Students can use this template to conduct a research into a tropical storm. Stretch and challenge questions included to give high achieving students the opportunity to evaluate the impacts of the storm on the place.

As the summer term report writing cycle begins, you will save time by using these carefully constructed concise comments each of which includes a positive/ attitude to learning comment as well as an area to improve on. I have prepared for my year 9s but each comment can be tweaked to suit any year group that has recently engaged in distance learning/ home learning.

Find ideas and inspiration for writing your reports from this bank of thoughtfully constructed comments for this distance learning period. Each comment is concise of no more than 30 words, has a positive opening and an area for improvement. They are also easily adaptable to suit a wide range of personalities and learning styles within a class group.**
