Task - Local, National, International - solutions
Adapt to YOUR school name and YOUR town. - highlighted in red on PPT - could include school logo too.
Golden rules - create alone/ or as class - religious studies is a sensitive topic as there is science and students of different religions so depending on your school and students - it could be worth mentioning/ creating some or serve as reminders.
Note: Catholic schools didn’t need any. Non-catholic schools, I used as a reminder with the behaviour policy as it is considered a serious misbehaviour if there is any discrimination (mixed student background). Usually it’s the wrong term used - so little reminders to use the word “different” rather than “weird” etc.
