I have used a wide range of inspirations to create a fun conversation starting lesson about Christian Aid week. This lesson looks at different issues which may be covered in Christian Aid week such as what is war, what is peace, what is a home and how we can help our fellow man, woman and child. I have started using conversation starters in my own lessons with great effect and I think you will also enjoy using them in your own lessons. As stated in the presentation, while these resources will help you present your Christian Aid week lessons in class, I have no connection with Christian Aid.

Students love to match words and images. I have taken a vocabulary list for rocks and soils and I have matched the words to beautiful photos which match each feature. This resource for rocks and soils could either be printed off and laminated and made into an nice instant display, or it could be used in the classroom as an introduction, reminder or review of the words used in this topic.

If you are looking for a resource that gets your students talking, then this is a nice resource. It helps students to understand the key features of rocks and soils, their uses, erosion and why we need to take care of them. If you are doing the rocks and soils unit, then this is a great presentation to use!
