Drop Down Day / Off Timetable Day Pack - A set of 6 lessons to cover a Drop Down Day (6 hours) all about democracy, elections and voting.
The Drop Down Day was put together for Year 9 originally, but all the resources are editable and well-differentiated so it could be used with any year group KS4 / KS3 with a tweak or so.
The overall theme for the series of KS3 Drop Down Days was ‘British Values’, so this is just one in a series of six which ran throughout the year. The day works especially well if you can align it with voting for the student council or prefects. At the end of the sessions, after carefully studying the democratic process, the students could come down to the hall to cast their vote.
There is much focus on British Values throughout the lessons as this was planned to ensure thorough coverage of Citizenship and SMSC.
All these individual lessons have been rated very highly by Tes users and are tried and tested in my own department.

UPDATED 2024 - 6 x fully resourced, highly-rated lesson packs with a focus on the 2024 General Election, political parties and leaders, voting and democracy. All 6 lesson packs are complete with at least one hour-long PowerPoint, accompanying differentiated worksheets, clip links with questions, plenaries, clear LOs and starters. All are well differentiated to three levels throughout to enable clear evidence of progress for all students.
Also includes a political leanings quiz for students to see who they might vote for in the 2024 general election.
These lessons have been designed to meet the Citizenship Teacher Associations guidance to help create a school which adheres to Ofsted's 'promoting British Values' SMSC policies. It also helps you meet all the national Citizenship curriculum criteria for KS3 / KS4.
These resources have been highly-rated individually by TES users, follow the same consistent format and are easy to follow.
There is zero extra work required. You can just have a quick look at them and teach - instructions are very clear as you go along.
I use all of these myself as a head of Citizenship, SMSC and PSHE and I really hope you find them excellent value. I've put literally weeks of time into this to make these lessons top quality for my own school team.
Please leave me a review and I'll send you any other resource of your choice for free.

Each booklet is differentiated and great for recording progress in PSHE. It’s easy to print and editable (as it comes in a portrait-version ready to print PowerPoint as well as a PDF version) - so you can always amend it for your students. This could be left as cover (as appropriate to the class and cover teacher) as there’s nothing explicit on the relationships side of things and all of the terminology is carefully explained. No internet access needed.
Also included:
Signposting for further help and advice
Progress checkers
Whole School literacy activities
Creative activities
Editable, optional assessment pack (with an example of how to fill it in, as shown as a healthy lives assessment)

This resource is in two parts, so can be used for two 25 minute Tutor Time sessions. It may stretch over three if you complete all the activities.
Part 1) Were the first Britons Black? This part has been created to spark your students’ interest in the origins of Britain as a multi-ethnic country. It introduces recent research on ‘Cheddar Man’, an individual discovered to be one of the first peoples of Britain, and of a group many would describe today as people of colour. In this part, students also cover how for centuries western academics grouped together completely unrelated cultures as ‘black’ and see that recent DNA discoveries have shown that there is more human genetic diversity in the whole of sub-Saharan Africa than there is in the entire rest of the world.
Part 2) More of a traditional Black History session, looking at the origins of the month, back to its conception in America, the Civil Rights movement and including reading comprehension tasks and clips with differentiated questioning.
This resource pack includes a one hour long PowerPoint with accompanying worksheets, well differentiated activities, literacy focus tasks, clip tasks with three-way differentiated questions and information sheets. The resources are all in the ZIP file, the images have been uploaded so you can clearly see an example on Tes of some of the contents.
The lesson has been left editable and is filled with engaging, well differentiated and fun activities. It is useful for PSHE, Citizenship or Tutor Time. As with all our lessons, you don’t need any prior knowledge as all the information is included - you can just pick up and teach it.
