I would suggest giving the students 10 min reading time prior to the assessment. If you like this lesson then please leave a review.

This has been hugely successful in my school at improving the pupils knowledge of British Values and improving their understanding of why they are so important.

This lesson gets the students to investigate life in the Warsaw Ghetto in WW2 through a number of Primary and Secondary Sources. It tests the students source skills and also builds on their knowledge of the Holocaust and WW2. This is a really useful lesson if you want the students to work on their source analysis skills. It is both a powerful and a challenging lesson.

This is a companion to my other lesson on population growth in Africa, and it looks at why urban population is growing so quickly in Africa. -It covers issues such as rural to urban migration. -Overpopulation -The future of Africa -Problems caused by this population growth An interesting and well resourced lesson

This is a fantastic twist on the flash cards idea that will prove to be a really useful revision tool in class. INSTRUCTIONS: There are 28 cards with key words on one side and their definitions on the other side. The twist, no one has a matching key word and definition. So they need to call out their key word and everyone must look at their definitions to see if they have the definition to that key word. If they do, they flip their card over and read out their key word and so on until you go all around the class and back to the first person who read out. This can get really competitive and forces the students to learn ALL the key words and definitions. You can make up your own rules (personally I time it, and every time there is a mistake I make them swap cards and start again!). This activity can easily be adapted to other schemes of work or even other subjects. I have used it for RE, History and Humanities. A fantastic and useful resource.

This is a series of revision techniques designed to prepare students for the end of unit assessment on Fantastic Places (also available in my shop). This can be uses as is, or can be adapted to suit a number of other lessons or even other subjects. A superb and versatile resource. This will provide the students with lots of hints and tips as to how to personalise revision to themselves individually. A useful resource for any year group in any subject.

This resource is designed to be used with the Fantastic places SoW (in my shop), but it can be adapted to other SoW or to other fantastic places! As the students work through the unit they complete the passport to sum up what they have learned and add the information to the booklet. The passport also contains seven h/w tasks to be used throughout the unit.

Title: Say what you mean and mean what you say This assembly focuses on getting the students to think about communicating clearly as words have consequences. It does this by looking at bad translations, famous parables and an amusing story. It culminates with a hilarious true(ish) story about a lost in translation discussion between a Swiss Priest and an English school teacher. This is one of my most popular assemblies with the students discussing it long after it has been held and requesting a follow up for a long time afterwards! This is a good assembly with a strong message.

This can be used as a stand alone lesson about the North Pole or it can be used in the Fantastic places unit of work (also available in my shop). This lesson has been observed more than once as has consistently been rated as outstanding. It looks at The North Pole (the Arctic), it’s history, it’s future and what it is like to live there. This lesson uses the ‘Home and Away’ groups technique - where students are put into ‘home’ groups, then split up again to become experts in one topic(away groups), they then get together again into their ‘home’ group and teach the rest of their group what they have learned. This lesson includes a bell activity, a starter, main activities, plenary and homework. An interesting and important lesson.

This lesson looks at the various Christian attitudes towards homosexuality. It investigates three different perspectives (Liberal Protestant, Evangelical Christian and Roman Catholic) and why they believe in this view. This lesson can be used for KS3 or KS4. There is a model answer included (this is based on the GCSE Edexcel SoW) but can easily adapted for another SoW. Students then look at a flawed model answer and are asked to improve it. They are also encouraged to consider their own views, why they hold those views and whether their views mirror one of the religious perspectives studied in the lesson. Overall a fantastic lesson.
