This lesson is designed to coincide with International Girls in ICT Day in April, but could be adapted to fit at other junctures in your Lifeskills/Careers/PSHE programme. The lesson includes the Ppt with links to suggested videos, discussion points and food for thought. The teaching notes include a link to duplicate a preliminary survey on Microsoft Forms to introduce the themes of the lesson and the final slide includes additional reading, sources and information. This lesson will also support Gatsby Benchmark 3 “Addressing the Needs of Each Pupil”.
This lesson looks both at the history and the future of smoking. It begins with an optional survey on Forms (link to duplicate is on the Teaching Notes) to get an idea of current feelings on smoking. It looks at how cigarette smoking spread and how it affects health. It also gives opportunities to discuss how legislation has changed the face of smoking and to discuss how this can be used to take further action. It looks at the 2024 discussions on a smoking ban and allows for students to discuss their thoughts. A worksheet helps to guide discussions. The lesson is wholly adaptable to your time allowance and needs. It is part of a series on Making safe and healthy choices, but can also be purchased along with our vaping lesson.
This is not an easy subject, but that doesn’t make it one to shy away from. Nevertheless, to make it easier for teachers to deliver, the Ppt presentation signposts to various video links which can help with explanations. The lesson allows for discussion about why this is being discussed, what it actually means and what it means for those who have been victims of FGM. The teaching notes include a link to duplicate a questionnaire on Forms to assess students’ understanding of the question in advance and the notes also make suggestions of how to adapt the lesson to suit your timeframe. The penultimate slide brings the lesson together in a plenary and the final slide includes links to sources and further information.
This bundle includes a series of lessons to help young people prepare for living independently and having to deal with all kinds of new experiences, including:
Student finance and financial planning, cooking for yourself, managing your studies and exam stress, building your skills for employment and aiming to become a responsible citizen.
This bundle includes 4 lessons focussing on the positive impact of friendship, smiling, kindness and volunteering. While 2 of them also fit with awareness days they can easily be adapted to fit anywhere in your programme.
