This is a booklet I use with Y8 for lessons on Prejudice and Discrimination. To make life easy in coronavirus conditions I have turned my schemes into work booklets with everything they need for 6 lessons + homework contained within it.
This scheme of work has been in the making for years, and now helpfully organised into one resource. Each page has varied layout with pictures etc so that it can be printed out as an A3 folded/A4 workbooklet by your repro department.

Lesson 1 Where does extremism come from?
This explores the causes of extremism and terrorism, asks students to make judgements from reading material about well-known extremists and then leaves them to respond to ideas about how terrorism and extremism can be prevented.

Lesson 2 What caused the Salem Witch Trials?
Students are confronted with the historical information about the Salem Witch Trials and after an investigate with some of the characters involved will need to make conclusions about the role of public hysteria in the events.

Lesson 3 What did Martin Luther King achieve?
No RE curriculum on discrimination is complete without reference to MLK, so students are exposed to the radically pacifist methods which made the civil rights movement successful. After some close textual work with the “I have a dream” speech, they reflect on whether MLK’s dream came true. Very topical with BLM campaign events at the moment.

Lesson 4 Where did antisemitism come from?
Through examining various sources throughout the past 2000 years, students are confronted with the reality that the Nazis did not invent antisemitism itself. They do however have to make a judgement about whether Hitler’s views are more or less extreme than some of the other antisemitic propaganda through the ages.

Lesson 5 What happened in the Holocaust?
Students are introduced to the stages of Nazi hatred against Jews to reflect on the scale of the Holocaust. They are asked whether ex-Nazis should be forgiven and are led to understand the basis for conviction at the Nuremberg Trials, before being asked why studying the Holocaust is important.

Lesson 6 What causes prejudice and discrimination?
This is the assessment task, where students use everything they have learnt in the previous lessons to explain why prejudice and discrimination exist.
