A task to last a few lessons.
Students to watch a video by the Economist on how 5 experts would spend $1bn to ‘save the oceans’ and then expand the task themselves to create a business plan for how to spend $qbn to save the earth.
A template helps them structure their research and present their projects to the class.
To tie in with Dubai COP28 but can be used at any time - of for any COP.
I doubt they’ll agree to save the world anytime soon, so I imagine this lesson can be reused and recycled again and again :)

A great little project for social studies students in the UAE.
Students are guided through the steps needed to make their own UAE themed monopoly game, a great recap and revision task - or students can be asked to do their own research to begin with (e.g. what sort of attractions would they include, why, give some details etc).
Then there are some templates at the end that can be blown up on a large A3 page to help them get started.

Lesson activity templates (200+ slides) History, Geography, Computer Science, Business Studies, English.
I started teaching 12 years ago and in my PGCE year I made a ppt file (modestly) called ‘Master Plan’. In there I collected every lesson activity that I could so I could save time by recycling slide templates but also it proved to be a great reservoir of ideas if I was ever stuck for a lesson. And so here it is, hopefully others can benefit too.
They’re divided up into Starters, Development, Plenary and Resources – but they can all be mixed, matched and edited to your needs!
I’ve taught History, Geography, Computer Science, Business Studies and English during the last 12 years (Jack of all trades, master of none…) so the templates come filled in with a wide range of existing information/activities but the idea is not to use these slides in your lessons directly – but just like I’ve done, use them for inspiration and quick editing.
If you’re on the hunt for high quality lessons in the subjects mentioned above please visit Wolsey Academy for more!

An entry level guide to Business Studies by using the excellently accessible book ‘Bee Fearless’ by Mikaila Ulmer. Our school uses this as a summer project for our student to complete before they begin the Business course. Combined with reading the book this presentation acts as a worksheet, guiding students to reflect on what they are reading and to engage with several business key concepts. We find student that complete this task come in much more motivated and knowledgeable than those that do not.
This book came as a recommendation from the Business Teacher Book Club (Twitter @BusinessTeach11 – please join us).
