For some going to university or leaving home for an apprenticeship may be the first time some young people have had to fend for themselves in the kitchen, This lesson looks at basics you will need to get started, cooking suggestions, shopping suggestions, ways to save money and chances for discussion. The lesson is completely adaptable to suit different time allocations, so take a look in advance and see what will work best for your cohort. It also includes Teaching Notes and some Sample Recipes to help students get started.
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.
There is a lot of information available about student finance, but it can be a baffling experience, so this lesson aims to cut through the basics of what to consider and what aspiring university students will need to have to hand to apply and what they will need to manage.
It also touches on the pros and cons of degree apprenticeships and deals with the parental burden which can be glossed over with regard to maintenance. It allows for discussion and the teaching notes include a link to duplicate a survey on Microsoft Forms to get students thinking about what they do and do not know and what they will need to budget for.
The Ppt is easily adaptable and aims to include all you will need for the lesson, but bearing in mind differing time frames for lessons, there are sections you can choose to include or omit to suit your needs.
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.
