Getting students talking- Plan your own charity event in small groups

The Power Point presentation begins with the lesson aims and objectives- the lesson is based around students working together to plan their own charity event, developing a time plan and designing a poster for their event, then presenting their event posters to the rest of the group.
1) Teacher introduction required- teacher will need to explain what we will be doing for the lesson, and information on the PP will reinforce this.
2) Task one- group discussion about the sample event poster. Discussion points displayed on the PP presentation, teacher to ensure students recognise the key elements.
3) Task two (main task) Students are given a time planning sheet and flip chart paper to plan their own charity event. The time plan embeds maths, as the students will be displaying time information and using numbers. Students work together to create and plan their event, before presenting their finished posters to the rest of the group. Dependent on the group, you can go into as much or little detail as you like with the events. Also you can provide students with even ideas or let them develop their own. This lesson is very adaptable.
4) Presentation of events- students can present their ideas and posters to the rest of the group- students can be encouraged to ask further questions, again dependent on teacher preference and the level of the group.
5) I have also uploaded an optional extension tasks which lists a variety of discussion topics for students to respond to. Keeping in with the speaking and listening theme.
