A lesson taken from my 'Into Africa' Scheme of Work focusing on Blood Diamonds and the Revolutionary United Front in Sierra Leone. Undoubtedly, my favourite lesson from this unit and one which was graded outstanding as part of a performance management observation.
There are a number of student lead activities throughout this lesson with the main task taking the form of an extended writing task. Pupils are asked to write a letter (using the writing frame as provided) to a local jewellers urging them to sign up to the Kimberley Process - an agreement to ensure that the diamonds sold have been mined ethically and fairly.
This lesson is a real eye opener for students and the atrocities of the RUF engage and excite students and generate in-depth ethical discussions. This lesson was designed for KS3 but can be easily adapted to be taught at KS4 and beyond.
