This Anti-Racism assembly or tutor time presentation is a very popular and highly effective assembly looking at the root causes of racism. It also highlights why racism is ridiculous and what we can do about it. It highlights many of the major stories in the world today (from Brexit to Megxit to Trump to the refugee crisis) to show how they all have a racist background (You may wish to update this slide with the latest stories of the day, but that is up to you). The assembly also looks at DNA and how we are all interconnected in ways we aren’t full aware of. This include a fantastic video which explains our DNA journey. It includes tips on how to combat racism and quotes about race (from Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King) A thought provoking but really interesting assembly.

This assembly addresses the gun epidemic in the USA, by looking at: -The history of guns in the USA -The causes of the gun problem -The NRA -Trump and the Republican party And causes for optimism for the future. It was written in the aftermath of the Parkland School Shooting but is just as applicable to any mass shooting in the USA (update in light of the tragic 2022 school shooting at Robb Elementry school). This is a well presented, well research, topical and very interesting assembly that covers the gun debate in some detail.

This lesson is to help the students to plan their revision by doing a twist on the idea of a post mortem. While a post mortem is after the event, the pre-mortem does the same thing but before the event (or exam). So instead of thinking about why they failed, they will think about why they might fail and try to put into place a plan to prevent that happening! A useful and thought provoking lesson.

The assessment is source based and uses the 2016 Edexcel GCSE sources paper. The lesson includes an exam paper, a sources sheet and a mark scheme. Only four of the six questions that would be in a real GCSE paper are used as the assessment needed to be less than 60 min. I would suggest giving the students 10 min reading time prior to the assessment. If you like this lesson then please leave a review.

An interesting lesson that helps the students to understand how perceptions of war have changed over time. It looks at the reasons why so many young men were willing to fight for their country and why the recruitment of soildiers for the army has had to change over time. It also compares what we know about war today with what the public knew in 1914. This particular lesson also focuses on recruitment posters. It gets students to analyse the posters and then create one of their own. A strong and fascinating lesson.

This lesson was originally created for RS but can easily be adapted for any written subject (Especially English, History, Geography or PSHE) It encourages pupils to challenge each other and work on their literacy skills. The students have to support or challenge a proposition, and then have a live debate but in complete silence. It is also good prep for writing an essay style question in RS where the students need to consider multiple perspectives about the same issue. The students love this lesson and often ask to do the lesson again! This is a surprisingly effective lesson that the pupils really enjoy.
