(challenging xenophobia) 2) Religion in the Stockport & Manchester 3) Humanism in the UK 4) Judaism 5) Religion in the UK 6) Islam in Manchester/Stockport 6b) Islam is good (anti-islamophobia) 7) 'Natural' spirituality: The Case study of Findhorn 8) Assessment (creative dialogue) SEND: 6 lessons which follow the above but exclude Findhorn.

A resource which is intended to run over 4 lessons: independent study with some introduction and video clips which can be uploaded to your server, and students can access them in their own time using headphones. Great for independent study, differentiation, SMSC, PHSE, Religious Studies and Citizenship, as well as General Studies, this resource stimulates outrage, insight and curiosity. It also includes historical and cultural insights, like the Ecuadorian Government signing in the rights of nature into law.

This is an ambitious project to cover the entire UK citizenship government framework in 26 lessons of increasing difficulty over 5 age groups (11-16). It uses a range of teaching strategies, including individual and team work, developing public speaking skills and active citizenship engagement in the year 8 section of the course. It focuses on students having a keen idea of their own background whilst also being able to ‘sonder’ (appreciate the realness of others) and truly empathise, as well as having a historical understanding of why we are where we are in the world. This lesson starts with the students own identity, before moving on to consider the South African concept of Ubuntu: I am because we are. This lesson Can be bought as part of a package. These schemes use key questions instead of learning objectives which are then used as mini plenaries throughout. Videos and worksheets included as powerpoint slides for ease of access and printing where necessary. Key questions What is identity? What is culture? Is there an ‘us’ and a ‘them’? Challenge: Evaluate the idea of Ubuntu. Feedback always welcome.

This lesson focusses on what it means to be an active citizen, using examples of active citizens from all over the world including videos and resources that can be printed straight from the PPT. These schemes use key questions instead of learning objectives which are then used as mini plenaries throughout. Videos and worksheets included as powerpoint slides for ease of access and printing where necessary. Key Questions How can we contribute positively to our environment? What are some examples of active citizenship? What can I learn from these examples?

Videos and worksheets included as powerpoint slides for ease of access and printing where necessary. Key Questions What is Parliament? What does Parliament do? How important is voting?

This is of course a notorious issue for one that sparks conflict between groups. These 3 resources: a powerpoint, Prezi and roleplay try to help students empathise and understand both sides of the conflict without siding specifically on either one. The lesson objectives are: What is the conflict in Israel and Palestine about? What are the different responses to it? What do you think is the best response and why? There are about 4 hour long lessons worth of activities here with varying levels of difficulty: from role plays, youtube clips of varying degrees of debate (the hardest being the 15 minute clip by John Pilger, Palestine is still the issue). It's really worth putting this into context with the history of the formation of Israel (which this clip is quite good at, but I don't think very accessible to KS4 but more KS5 level https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wo2TLlMhiw). There's a simplified version in the powerpoint. It's excellent for world politics, terrorism and extremism, SMSC, PHSE, Religious Studies. I really recommend you watching the clips first if you can, and getting the students to engage with them. I usually get the students to watch the clips and do the roleplay in one lesson and then do more research written work in the next. The roleplay has 24 separate individual roles (sorry, I ran out of steam, i nearly made it to 30!) which vary in nationality, religious belief and is a very useful way to get students to empathize. If you have more than 24 people I recommend you let students chose their relationship to the families (aunts/siblings/grandparents/friends etc.) It also really helps for me to remember to ask questions rather than tell students they are wrong if they bring in extreme(ish) opinions from home (of which Arab and Jewish families often do pass on to their children). Prezis, if you've never used them, work just like powerpoints: you make them full screen and then just press the right arrow on your keyboard. Good luck in teaching this lesson with informed sensitivity, kindness, and with hope for a peaceful resolution!

A set of 7 lessons, including assessment, about inspiring people, including Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Nic Vujici, Aun San Suu Kyi and Gandhi. The Lesson on Nic Vujicic involves watching this clip, which is inspirational AND funny. It's 45 minutes, so will take up most of a lesson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJvEoLPLIg8 My lot loved it. Enjoy.
