Fantasy Football Club Group Project!
A Russian billionaire, Asman Veryrich, has approached you about setting up a new football club!
This exciting, engaging investigation activity allows students to control the direction of their own learning, through speaking, listening, discussing, and reasoning. I initially created these resources to provide something interesting for the students to engage with for their English Speaking and Listening discussions, but it has since been used across Maths, Art and Design, and PSHE departments, as well as by form groups and holiday activity groups, to build teamwork and collaboration skills.
Students get involved in all of the fun aspects of designing and setting up a new football club, including selecting a team of players, a manager, a stadium, and a training ground. They also design the team's club badge and football kits. They also need to use their skills of literacy to read and understand key evidence, and skills of numeracy to ensure that they keep their expenses within budget! What is more, groups can compete against one another to create the most successful team in the league, as all of the resources that they choose can help them to acquire valuable league table points!
Included in this resource pack are:
- Full PowerPoint lesson talking students through the process;
- An 8 page team booklet, used to create their designs and calculate their budgets;
- A pack of 96 player cards and 12 manager cards to select from (a combination of new and classic footballers are included, to ensure that this will never be outdated);
- Budget and recording sheets to track their progress;
- An A3 football pitch to strategise and select their team.
Considering the time and effort that it took to create these resources, I think that they offer exceptional value. Whenever I have used this activity before, it has taken at least 3-4 lessons, including the introduction, design process, presentations, and evaluation. I originally have used this with mixed ability Year 9 and 10 groups, but colleagues have adapted it easily for students of all key stages.

In this engaging lesson, students develop their understanding of how Jesus Christ is visually depicted in paintings, focusing on facial expression, body language, his effect on his immediate environment, and other features.

The learning is guided by a clear and colourful PowerPoint presentation, which guides students through the following step-by-step journey:

-Understanding how no one today knows for sure how Jesus looked, and the paintings that we see of him are artists’ representations;
