Resources for RE lessons about Diwali.
A simple PowerPoint that includes a song about Diwali on each slide (to the tune of London Bridge is falling down, because I don’t seem to be able to write a song to any other tune lol) The powerpoint has some videos linked. If they do not load check that external media has been allowed.
Low ability- Match a word to a labelled symbol
Middle ability - colourful semantics to make sentences about Diwali
Higher ability- Communication board to write sentences
I used this for my class of ASC students that need lots of visual support and are highly motivated by songs.
I did this with my ASC class to teach about Hanukkah. We sang the song (to the tune of London Bridge is falling down) with visuals (e.g. with dreidels) for each section of the song.
Students then completed task related to the song.
Low ability- Matched a symbol to an object (photographs taken for evidence)
Middle ability- Colourful semantic sentences
High ability- wrote sentences using communication board
The work was aimed at ASC students with high needs.
