Henry VIII - Break with Rome (BREXIT 1534)

(0)
Made this lesson before the referendum - have used it a number of times since, it works incredibly well - including once as an observation lesson which received great feedback. Differentiated tasks throughout with there being three options for the main activity for three different grouped levels. Ends with a class vote. Actual 2016 Vote Leave and Stronger In literature used for higher levels as a comparison between the two events (Reformation v Referendum). 1. Leave/Remain card sort starter. 2. Differentiated group & solo tasks leading to an essay Lower: Structured development of card sort arguments. Middle: Structured use of card sort arguments to make a facto file (with templates and examples) Higher: Leave & Remain 2016 literature to use to compare to a new set of higher level card sort arguments - leading to written essay tasks with stretch vocabulary sheets. 3. Class referendum and debate. 4. Video plenary - spot the arguments you’ve made.

Excel Formulas, 'Fortnite' and Epic Games Business Case Study

(0)
A stand alone lesson or a great introduction to a variety of topics - using Fortnite trackers as a (worryingly successful) hook. Includes: Business Studies: Mini-Business Case study of Epic Games and it’s unique business model + comparisons to others ICT: Excel formulas, SUM, AVERAGE, adding charts, calculating % increases and using conditional formatting. Maths: Understanding and practice of % increases Features stretch activities and literacy questions, literacy and numeracy settler activity, peer assessments and a plenary quiz. Excel features demonstrated in a series of video clips (embedded in the PowerPoint). ~ Every time my students were given a chance they’d be checking their stats on Fortnite tracker - I figure if pupils are interested in stats this is too good an opportunity to pass up. If you can’t beat them - join 'em.
