The lesson begins with a starter activity in which students are invited to guess the weighting of the three components (Play Your Cards Right style). After this there is a second starter where they have to pick out the correct word count from a choice of four. The starter activities conclude with a couple of quick anagrams of key terms (Analysis and Perspectives). There are then clear aims and objectives which are graduated (all will/most will/some will) and students are invited to co-construct the aim with the teacher. There are then a series of slides and rubrics for designing a question and mapping out a good report. After this an exemplar of a top graded report is provided and students are invited to complete an assessment for learning task to identify ten aspects of the highest band of the mark scheme. They cut these out and glue them on the exemplar work. This leads to a discussion about the anatomy of a great individual report. These include things like having three points, referencing, justifying the issues etc. Some examples from individual reports are given for each of the AFL criteria and a copy of the top band aspects of the mark schemes is included. The lesson then concludes with a Have I Got News For You style plenary where students are invited to fill in the gaps to show their understanding. At the end I have included a link to a YouTube guide I’ve created which you might wish to set for homework/consolidation task. I love teaching Global Perspectives IGCSE but it can be tricky to structure each of the components. I really hope this PPT helps you deliver this aspect of the course and that it helps your students achieve highly. Have a wonderful day and I’m always grateful for positive reviews if you find this lesson useful.

Boost your teaching with this 4-part lesson plan. It will help refine existing skills, ensure pace to every lesson, and enable you to take into account a variety of different needs in order to facilitate accelerated learning in your classroom. Yes, you too will have a cunning plan!

Simple but incredibly effective. This one-slide Power Point template is easily editable so you can tailor it to your school/department. I print it for my classroom and ensure students have a copy in the insert of their exercise books so they know exactly what part of their learning journey they are on and where they are going to. My classes can look back and forward to see skills progression and to make links between units.

This is a quick quiz to promote World Maths Day which takes place on 23rd March in Form Time. Questions are designed to show how numeracy is all around us and to explore how different cultures use an see numbers differently. I hope you enjoy it and please let me know if you have any questions. Have a great day.

Uploading all your Personal Reflections for the CIE IGCSE in Global Perspectives can be a very arduous task to say the least. That is why I created this simple one-page and easy to upload template where I can score students over all the assessment objectives in one place. Simply highlight the criteria hit for each section with a highlighter pen (or tick it) and then upload it with each candidate’s work. It really does save hours of writing on the paper and makes your grading nice and clear for the examiner. I hope you find this useful. Any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me. This is for the 0457 course run by CIE .

If you teach a six period day like me I hope you enjoy this simple, editable resource. Just amend the timings, text, and colour code your lessons. Feel free to swing by my shop to have a look at hundreds of other resources.

This is a simple one-slide editable PowerPoint template. Just amend for your own inquiry units/lessons and ask students to glue it into their exercise books. It acts like a contents page for their own learning and ensures the students know exactly where they are in their own learning journey. I hope you find this useful!
