This is a resource made for Y9 SEMH students. It touches on the idea of dystopias and utopias and will generate lots of student discussion about what makes a society ‘perfect’. It is part of our Y9 RE unit on suffering. It can be used for an English task or a standalone cover activity. It is highly visual and creative. It also has a numeracy element. There are two main tasks- the first is to create their idea of a better society with a budget and a differentiated question for each ability. The second is to create a tourism poster for their society. You will get a highly visual and engaging PowerPoint with differentiated outcomes for HA, MA and LA. There are three differentiated sheets, a price list and a poster design sheets.

Here is a very fun and interactive PowerPoint on the Eightfold Path and reincarnation. I used this for a group of (very RE-reluctant) SEMH boys and it went down a treat- they especially loved the karma quiz. You may want to adapt or create a worksheet for a development task. There is a worksheet where the students fill out each spoke of the dharma wheel. I hope you find it useful, and if you do, I would really appreciate it if you could take the time to leave a review. Thanks so much.
