Raising Narratives
This upload is a task that can be run in different group or 1:1 sessions.
Full Room – perfect for group situations
Print out the labels of AGREE, DISAGREE and DON’T KNOW/MAYBE
Stick them across the room (ideally agree and disagree on either side and don’t know in the middle)
Read out each statement and ask the class/group to stand where they feel they would respond to each statement
You can then pick individuals to ask why they have chosen to stand there/why they think that
Try to encourage free thinking rather than following their friends!
Smaller Group – perfect for small groups or 1:1 sessions
Print out the labels of AGREE, DISAGREE and DON’T KNOW/MAYBE
Print out all of the statements
Lay the labels of agree/disagree/don’t know out across the table
Ask the young people to work together or to do the task individually and to place each statement next to the appropriate answer to show how they feel about it
You can then ask why certain statements have been placed in certain places
These can help to encourage deeper thinking and to challenge thoughts about the topic.
I also have a range of BHM factfiles with lots of information and quotes - see my other uploads!

Raising Narratives
This upload is a task that can be run in different group or 1:1 sessions.
'Did you know that fashion trends are a cycle and often repeat themselves a few decades later?
You will be shown some fashion trends that we still see today, can you guess if they originated in black culture?
Black culture doesn’t always stem from a country of black origin; due to colonisation, slavery and immigration black culture has travelled across the world.’
PowerPoint provides a series of fashion trends and encourages young people to identify whether or not they originated from black culture.
A sheet is provided to print and answer onto.
Answers and information are given for each, plus additional images showing where each trend originated from
The trends in the quiz are:
Hoop earrings
The mullet
Logomania
Heavy eyeliner
Snap backs
Acrylic nails
Trainer culture
Dr Martens
Braids
This is a resource I have created as part of my new role working as a Youth Justice Worker with young people in the community.
The project covers in detail:
County Lines
Child Criminal Exploitation
It is designed to be used in one of two ways:
As a full programme / scheme of work - this can be fully printed into booklets (all pages printed)
As a full programme / scheme of work - with only the worksheets printed and the rest of the pages used as PowerPoint / visuals
As one off lessons / interventions - parts can be printed or used ad hoc
I have included a project overview at the start, with learning outcomes and descriptions of each task.
The resource is quite bulky and was created on a Mac. I have added to this resource a PDF and PowerPoint version. Due to differences in fonts, the PowerPoint version may look different when opened - hence including the PDF version as well to keep everything as designed.
Please feel free to ask any questions :)
