LGBT History Month: Poetry (SEND/ASN/ALN)

In LGBT History Month 2020, our focus was on poetry. We designed these lesson plans and resources to help you celebrate with your pupils. LGBT History Month was founded by Schools Out, who have been campaigning for LGBT inclusive education for 46 years. Adapt the lesson plan to best suit the needs of your class and to fit the amount of time you have available. Each lesson has a PowerPoint and resources that you can use to support your whole class teaching. Other suggested resources are noted in each lesson plan. Feel free to adapt the resources to best meet the needs of your students, we’ve left space for you to add Widgit symbols where needed on the worksheets and have included Widgit symbols in the more simply worded PowerPoint presentation. We have also produced plans and resources aimed at mainstream schools, which you may
find useful. These can be found on our website. This lesson is based around a poem called Grandpa’s Soup by Jackie Kay.
