Smoking
Originally produced for BTEC H&SC, Unit 9, Level 2 but would also be suitable for GCSE.
Lesson was delivered in 1.5 hours with objectives as follows:
To describe how smoking can effect health
To explain why a smoker is at risk of diseases
Please note, the quiz I have adapted from elsewhere but all other activities are original.
Student activities include a smoking advert analysis, a paired extension activity where students investigate Cannabis, labelling physical and emotional health effects on worksheet provided, producing a warning poster/warning leaflet, starter activity and a range of other activities.
Cell Division
This is a lesson which is student led as students will be researching the processes of meiosis and mitosis, as well as becoming familiar with key terminology associated with this area. This was originally produced for A-Level but will also be appropriate for Access to HE and Foundation Degree's. It can be used to compliment handouts which you may already have produced for students on this topic area.
Explanations of Mental Illness Starter
Students will need some prior knowledge of the biological, psychological and social explanations of mental illness to partake in this Starter activity: Presentation concerns images which relate to either the biological, social or psychological explanations of mental illness. Students will need to work independently to note down which slides they think correspond to which approach. There is some overlap which will generate discussion! I would recommend that you have an impromptu discussion at the end of the starter to enable students to justify their answers, this should be an ideal AfL opportunity.
Anti-Discriminatory Practice

Lesson Objectives:
Explain what is meant by Active Participation

Assertiveness
A handout and array of group activities aimed at apprentices/adults on Assertiveness.
There are an array of group activities/reflections task with employment based scenarios.
May benefit from a PowerPoint to accompany. Could be delivered over several sessions.
Sexual Health
This tutorial which could be delivered over two sessions has been designed with very little teacher input. I originally designed this for a group of personal tutors who had never delivered this topic and were concerned about whether their knowledge was up to date.
This puts the onus on the students and is research based. It has been designed in such a way that students should stay on topic and address the tutorial in a sensible manner if groups are planned ahead of time by the teacher delivering the sessions. Smaller groups will work best.
Lesson Objectives:
Investigate a range of sexual health related topics and produce a 5 minute presentation
Present information about a sexual health topic
Identify sexual health services

This worksheet is best bought as part of a bundle with the accompanying PowerPoint. Students will indicate a list of behaviours and whether they deem them as normal or abnormal. They will then justify their responses. Can be used a starter or a plenary.

These worksheets provide students with detailed guidance about how to write effective speculative and cover letters in order to secure future employment.
There are activities incorporated into these worksheets designed to get students to consider their skills and attributes, supporting them in producing unique employment letters to impress prospective organisations.

Students will the reasons why crimes are not always report and take an in depth look at White Collar Crime, with reference to two well known case studies.
