Black Lives Matter: Why I am No Longer Talking To White People About Race by Reni Eddo-Lodge.
This lesson takes the key themes of the book ‘Why I am No Longer Talking To White People About Race by Reni Eddo-Lodge’ and attempts to distill them into a format ready for a class room discussion. Ideal for discussions on race during a tutor period or at the end of a unit of work that features discussion on race.
It is broken into the following stages:
Intro to the author and initial mind mapping.
A look at the history of black people, and their contribution, to British society.
A discussion of how these historic experiences have created systemic racism – this is the crucial element of the lesson, to explain to students that being ‘colour blind’ can cause its own problems by neglecting to engage with the realities of black people.
What is ‘white privilege’ and what could be done to stop it? A look at the NFL’s “Rooney Rule”.
PEE paragraph on the Rooney Rule.
Ending thoughts and development of mind maps.
Extension task: Read Eddo-Lodge’s article.
EAL Task: Keyword focus sheet
I do not for a second pretend to be an expert in these matters but this is my attempt to introduce the discussion of systemic racism into my classroom. I hope it can be of some use to you in your classrooms too.

Lesson activity templates (200+ slides) History, Geography, Computer Science, Business Studies, English.
I started teaching 12 years ago and in my PGCE year I made a ppt file (modestly) called ‘Master Plan’. In there I collected every lesson activity that I could so I could save time by recycling slide templates but also it proved to be a great reservoir of ideas if I was ever stuck for a lesson. And so here it is, hopefully others can benefit too.
They’re divided up into Starters, Development, Plenary and Resources – but they can all be mixed, matched and edited to your needs!
I’ve taught History, Geography, Computer Science, Business Studies and English during the last 12 years (Jack of all trades, master of none…) so the templates come filled in with a wide range of existing information/activities but the idea is not to use these slides in your lessons directly – but just like I’ve done, use them for inspiration and quick editing.
If you’re on the hunt for high quality lessons in the subjects mentioned above please visit Wolsey Academy for more!

Includes a diamond 9 activity to get students engaged (and arguing) over who has the most power.
Moves on to a discussion of the origins of the American system of ‘checks and balances’ and takes that argument forward through history, looking at things like Nixon and Trump’s ‘Muslim Ban’ to see where and when Presidential power has been curtailed.
Ends with a comparison of the ‘China model’ and a discussion of the pros and cons of the US system in the modern world.
