Useful Global Village activity to run for a whole year-group of around 100 students. I print the cards and laminate them and place one under each student chair. If you have fewer than 100 students you could included staff or rope in more people where needed. As you go through the presentation ask the students to stand up once their picture for each section appears on the screen. I use this for an introduction to the Global Perspectives course but it could be a good activity for Geography or as a global-mindedness assembly. Cards can be modified each year to reflect changes. I use the UN website for the statistics.
I use this as part of a Y7 History Unit on Weapons Through Time. Once students have read the information sheet and answered the questions I set them the simulation task to test their understanding. Students receive an A3-sized plan of the battlefield and have to select from multiple-choice answers for each scenario during the battle from the point of view of the British general Wellington. I have tried to make the scenarios as realistic as possible but clearly at this level it has been simplified somewhat. Students need to record their choice by circling their option for each scenario. Then click on each button to reveal the consequence of their actions and points scored. There are some things (placement of soldiers, terrain, impact on other areas of the battlefield, luck) that hopefully will cause them to consider why it would have been difficult commanding a battlefield at this time. At the end I play them a clip of the charge of the French cavalry from the film ‘Waterloo’ and then have a discussion around the questions at the end of the presentation.
18 different activities to promote discussion, immersive thinking and interaction in the classroom. I used these a lot with adult students but they are applicable to teenagers as well.
