A generic double lesson that could be used in a variety of subjects as an introduction to aspects of leadership. The lesson is based around ideas of pupils and then looking at 3 case studies - Abraham Lincoln, Karen Brady and Alex Ferguson. After looking at summaries of their life stories, pupils can debate similarities and differences in their experiences, turning points and other interesting observations. Certainly creates debates in the classroom!
I have used this as an introduction to Jesus and also for a Growth Mindset themed day in school.

- Hand out the pilot names to pupils at the beginning of the lesson and they leave them on their desks. Then give them the outcomes sheets at the end so they learn the fate of what happened to them. Very thought provoking.

A cross curricular SOW I wrote for my History department which worked alongside the Drama team. The pupils loved the fact they went to both subjects and explore the same topic.

A superb lesson I have used for numerous observations before. It works well as it is well paced, has group work and helps pupils consolidate their knowledge at the end with some extended writing.
You need some sugar paper or plain A3 would do. Stick the picture of a Motte and Bailey castle and the Stone Keep castle on either side of the sheet prior to the lesson. A good plan of how to run the lesson is below:
Starter: A map image is displayed showing Norman castles that were built by William the Conqueror. Pupils asked questions about the map e.g. What do the locations of the castles tell you about England at the time?
New Learning: Learning objectives displayed and pupils record the relevant one for their target grade into their exercise books.
Pupils watch a short clip about Norman castles and then answer some questions about them with the aid of a PowerPoint slide.
Learning development: In pairs, use the sugar paper to explore, analyse and consider the effectiveness of Motte and Bailey and Stone castles. Afterwards, pupils stick their own versions of the castles in in their books and complete a series of levelled activities.
Plenary: Think of a 15 second sales pitch you would give William about why he should invest in each type of castle to help him control the English.
Revisit Learning Objectives: Pupils consider how/why they have met their learning objective.
