I’ve designed this as an ongoing resource to be returned to every regularly for the duration of the World Cup tournament. It comes with a powerpoint that has all the participating teams on it. If you play the powerpoint then the images will quickly change. Press “S” and the slideshow will stop on a team. Press “S” again to re-start the slideshow. Using this method, each child can randomly select a team to follow. This team will also feature in their booklet as a research project. The booklet starts with a page about the hosts of the tournament, Russia. It’s a research activity and so access to computers or books is helpful. Next we look at the geography of Russia and the location of the stadiums. There are two sheets here which look identical but are not. One is aimed at a higher level than the other and this is distinguished by the World Cup icon in the top right. All future differentiated sheets for the higher ability have this icon. Then we have the history of the tournament and again a differentiated version for lower ability students. Following is a picture quiz where students have to name the winners of the previous tournaments. Next is a research project where students are asked to design a poster for their previously selected team. There is a differentiated version for lower ability students with a number of prompt questions to help with research. The next sheets each relate to the England football team. The tasks are to create a song/rap or chant, to design their football kit. Next is an art project looking at the work of Wassily Kandinsky, a famous Russian artist with a particularly bright and vivid style. Students are asked to reproduce his work and this can be extended to adapt a football picture into his style of work and a blank canvas for the truly creative. There then follows a focus on five famous players with an attached fact file and a drawing to colour in. Once this is completed there is a blank fact file for students to pick their favourite player and complete accordingly. Next comes an English language task where students are asked to conduct a post-match interview with a player of their choice. Finally there is a puzzle page with riddles and a word-search. The answers are on the final sheet. There are a number of ways in which you can run this project: You could compile the workbooks beforehand and hand them out so that they are differentiated to each class members ability. You could hand out each page individually and then compile them at the end. My ideal would be that everyone gets a different sheet so that everyone is doing a different task within the same time frame and then they are compiled at the end. Any feedback, positive or negative, is greatly appreciated.

Powerpoint presentation on sponsorship that identifies what gets sponsored in sport by concentrating on Mo Salah Before looking at a wider number of sportspeople.

AQA specification on the Principles of training - SPORT.

This is a quiz with many rounds and varieties of questions including: *True or False - Inventions from China *Food *Movie titles translated from Chinese *Trivia plus many other questions about the history, culture, geography and other contextual, interesting facts about China. The quiz starts with multiple choice questions before moving on to more challenging questions that tend to be more fun based than informative. This is so that all students are able to participate and maintain interest until the end. Many questions have additional information attached to explain and provide further reference points. This would be ideal as an introduction to China, as a starter for a lesson or for a fun lesson at the end of term or form activity. Any and all feedback, positive or developmental is greatly appreciated.

This is a GCSE PE lesson covering the elements of Risk and Challenge ending with an exercise on risk assessment that can be used as a homework task, extension task or starter for the next lesson. The learning objective is: Understand why people take part in hazardous activities and how the challenges that exist are different for different people. The lesson comprises of a powerpoint that links to a youtube video of a freediving world record and the challenges and risks involved before linking to PE lessons. There are a number of collaborative learning exercises used within the lesson which can be used at your discretion. To enable differentiation, the lesson comes with a worksheet for the less able so that they can concentrate on quality of work instead of quantity. The lesson comes with a separate handout for all students with regards to the risk assessment mentioned earlier. All feedback, positive or developmental is greatly appreciated.

This is an updated lesson which was previously available for free and was downloaded over 1000 times in Great Britain and the US combined. It looks at the two areas highlighted using analysis of youtube clips to give examples. Questions are split into two groups to create effective differentiation with a supported worksheet for those of a low ability. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated whether positive or developmental. Any questions, please ask.

There are two resources here. The first is an activity book featuring a wide range of activities that encompass geography, history, literacy and numeracy. It's activities include art based tasks as well as creative writing and researching facts. One of the sheets looks like a duplicate but it isn't, it is a higher level sheet for the more able. You can hand out the sheets individually, compiling them at the end of the project or put them all together at the start to create a resource that students work through at their own pace. Included is a team generator on powerpoint which is operated by pressing play and then stopped and started with the 'S' key. This has been adapted from my previous resource on the FIFA World CUP which was downloaded 2703 times, had a 5 star rating and was selected by the TES team for their Secondary newsletter.

This is a topic that I would advise be completed over a two lesson period rather than rushed and squeezed into one. In my experience, most of my GCSE classes believe that sport ISN'T sexist because they see top sportswomen representing their country and people like Karren Brady and Delia Smith being influential figures at football clubs. This lesson seeks to redress those beliefs and enable students to apply a more balanced and thorough view. The lesson begins with a Do Now task where the answer is that all the activities are competed by only one gender. The main part of the lesson are a number of tasks to be completed. These can be done on an individual level or in groups. The activities are as follows: Select and retrieve. Students read one of the two articles and select passages of interest and relevance. Spot the difference. Students look at the differences between the genders in two different sports. Mystery Guest. Students name the sportspeople and attempt to explain whether they found it more difficult to name one gender over the other. Gender Equality. To add some balance there are examples of women being treated "equally" in sport, but is it fair? What’s your opinion? Some statements about sports issues that may or not be deemed sexist. Students should formulate an opinion based upon them and be able to explain their thought processes. Why the difference? A number of sports are listed with examples of the differences between them when it comes to gender participation with some questions to answer. Once students have collated some information from their sheets they get into groups with students who have had different sheets and share their info. It's important that they make notes so that they have a broad view of sport as opposed to just their info. sheet. Using these notes, students should then pick out their best points and complete the "writing to argue," worksheet. This should be the tool that enables students to write an essay using their knowledge to support their opinion. This can be done as a homework task if required. Any feedback, positive or developmental, is greatly appreciated.
