These bookmarks are ideal for teachers, educators or educational leaders.
This workbook is suitable for homework, classwork or distance learning: it will help your students to get more from watching documentaries and videos. This colourful printable booklet includes ten learning sessions spread over twenty pages.
This teaching resource is designed for KS3 History and deals with topics relating to Ancient Chinese History.
The workbook includes links to ten different documentaries or lengthily videos and straight-forward note-taking and comprehension activities so as to structure and foster engagement with the documentary whilst enhancing student learning.
The twenty-page workbook was designed with homework in mind and contains ten different homework sessions. I would suggest using the booklets as a simple way to take care of ‘every other homework’ and use it to supplement your other approaches to homework: just print the booklets out and give them to your students. You can also use the booklets just as well in a classroom setting and they are incredibly easy to use such that even a non-specialist cover-teacher could make use of them. They’re also an ideal way to bolster your distance learning provisions in times of student absence.
Over time the links in this workbook may expire, I’ll try to update them from time to time but the workbook is easy to edit - so make sure you check that the links still work before printing and update any broken/defunct links that might crop-up! I’ve done my best to include links to the best videos available for this topic: teachers should ensure that the video links included are suitable for their specific classes.

This is one of a series of lessons designed for AQA GCSE Hinduism, though it is also suitable for KS3 students studying Hindu festivals.
The download contains two lesson options:
1) A video and documentary based approach based around a (rather beautiful, if I do say so myself) A3 Worksheet. [Includes PPT, Worksheet and Lesson Plan]
2) An ICT Suite 'Research, Present & Quiz' approach, which includes integrated peer-assessment. [Includes PPT and Worksheet, Lesson Plan not necessary as it's such a straightforward approach].
The focus of this lesson is the Hindu festival specified in the title, similar lessons can be downloaded for different Hindu festivals.

The download includes:

This download contains an editable 50+ slide PowerPoint featuring the most important debates relevant to KS2 English classrooms. It also contains a ‘randomiser’ slide so that debate topics can be selected randomly.
Debate topics refer to English Literature, English Language & the value of literacy in general. This tool is suitable for whole-school literacy sessions and can be used both inside the English classroom and in form/tutor sessions.
Debates take an ‘agree or disagree’ format: students are asked to move from one side of the room to the other depending on their response to the statements that appear.
This format allows teachers to foster debates and discussions between students, it can be helpful to ask students to justify their reasons and use sensible arguments. Questions you might ask include:
“What is wrong with the other position in your view?”,
“Why did you choose to stand where you’re standing?”,
“Why do you think people disagree so much about this question?”
It is best to encourage students to pick a side rather than float in the middle: but it can also be fun to allow students to change side as the debate progresses, so that students can try to persuade one another to move.
This is a great resource to use at the end of lessons if you have a few minutes left, it can be used as an entire lesson or revision session. It is also ideal for whole-school literacy.
