This lesson could link with Global Recycling Day in March, but is also part of our Our Planet, Our Impact series and discusses preparing for leaving home/going to university and how to managed shared living to deal with waste disposal. The preliminary quiz on Forms (link to duplicate on the Teaching Notes) will give you some idea of the starting point for many students regarding their awareness of Bin Day, recycling where they currently live and their attitude to recycling and considering their actions. It also discusses ways to manage cooking and clothes shopping on a budget, not just to save money, but also to reduce waste, so lots of food for thought. There are optional discussion points and suggested video links so you can readily adapt the lesson to fit your time allocation.
This bundle includes a series of lessons to help young people prepare for living independently and having to deal with all kinds of new experiences, including:
Student finance and financial planning, cooking for yourself, managing your studies and exam stress, building your skills for employment and aiming to become a responsible citizen.
This is not an easy subject, but that doesn’t make it one to shy away from. Nevertheless, to make it easier for teachers to deliver, the Ppt presentation signposts to various video links which can help with explanations. The lesson allows for discussion about why this is being discussed, what it actually means and what it means for those who have been victims of FGM. The teaching notes include a link to duplicate a questionnaire on Forms to assess students’ understanding of the question in advance and the notes also make suggestions of how to adapt the lesson to suit your timeframe. The penultimate slide brings the lesson together in a plenary and the final slide includes links to sources and further information.
Our Planet, Our Impact is a growing series of lessons to support environmental awareness in a variety of scenarios, including Green Careers, preparation for university and contributing to make change.
