It's a great resource but it's missing the lesson 8 - any suggestions?
This has been well worth the money! I adapted it a little but mostly it was ready to use with my kids. Thanks!
Best resources I have come across. Well worth the money, saved many hours of planning, time I can spend with my family!
Such a great resource, really looking forward to teaching this next year!
A great resource that you have clearly spent a huge amount of time creating. I plan to use this with Y8 pupils, but it is definitely suitable for Y9 as well. My only question is that it seems to be missing the lesson 8 resources. Otherwise, a great SoW that has excellent resources and is great to get pupils thinking about their and other people's identities. Thank you.
