A great project that centres around the film Pay it Forward (not essential to watch, but makes for nice class discussions and gives them ideas). We usually do this around April to coincide with the global Pay it Forward Day. But can be done at any time of the year and would be particularly nice in the run up to Christmas.

We had time at the end of term to show the full film of Juno. We used this to teach students about pregnancy, but about the varying choices if a student was to find themselves, or their partner, pregnant. Students watch the film, discuss and create a leaflet. This was used as a wind down project towards the end of the Summer Term. Leave a review, email misskwaddington@outlook.com and you can choose any single lesson to be emailed back to you for free!

Centres around the film Wall:E. As most children have seen this you probably won’t need to show the whole film (but is nice if you have a reward afternoon). The idea of the project is for the students to become advocates of something that will help the world and to create a campaign to stop it from happening e.g. preventing litter in school, raising awareness about water use.

Planned for a 100 minute lesson online (no printing required, so ideal for a cover lesson or non-specialist delivery. This lesson looks at different events of terrorism (9/11, IRA and Domestic Terrorism). Differentiated activities. Other lessons in this unit can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/ks4-unit-extremism-12487992

5x 100 minute lessons aimed at KS4 [Year 10] to teach them about radicalisation, extremism, terrorism and counter terrorism. The bundle includes a progress tracker, an additional document worksheet that was uploaded to assignments in teams as a homework task/additional lesson for staff who had them in the final week of the half term- this uses the Stacey Dooley documentary on extremism in Luton. There are a lot of video clips in these lessons, and 1 lesson uses BBC documentary on Neo Nazis. I wouldn’t teach this unit to Year groups in KS3 (Y7-9) None of the lessons require printing (the first lesson provides a template as we had some key worker kids in, but they can draw an outline at home!) as the unit was taught on Teams during Lockdown 3. Some of the language used in the activities may need to be tweaked to suit a classroom, but this is minimal. Lesson can all be bought individually in my shop Please review if you download.

I can describe what sexual bullying is. I can explain why it is important to raise awareness about sexual bullying. Aimed at KS3, particularly Year 7. Lesson is 100 minutes long. Lesson doesn’t require any printing so is suitable for non-specialists and online learning.

Lesson 4 in a Personal Finance KS4 Unit.

AQA GCSE Citizenship- Topic 2- Rights & Responsibilities. Lessons are planned to be delivered by non-specialists, they do not require any textbooks. Lessons are planned for 60 minutes unless stated in the description below. They incorporate a retrieval grid, teacher input, and a practice task that links to either direct exam questions, or practicing an exam based skill. Lesson 8: Looks at Jury selection. From what a Jury summons is, to the role and expectations of a Jury. It also looks at the advantages and disadvantages of jury trials. The class are then split into teams of 12 and take on the role of a jury member, they select who they want to be and have to provide reasons as to why they are disregarding 8 of the selection. They are given an “evidence” file and they have to reach a unanimous decision on if the defendant is guilty or not. Students then complete a write up task to reflect on the jury process. When taught, this took me a double lesson (2 hours) rather than the 1 hour I had planned, simply because my class are very keen and had a lot of debates in the simulation task.
