Students love to match words and images. I have taken a vocabulary list for rocks and soils and I have matched the words to beautiful photos which match each feature. This resource for rocks and soils could either be printed off and laminated and made into an nice instant display, or it could be used in the classroom as an introduction, reminder or review of the words used in this topic.

If you are looking for a resource that gets your students talking, then this is a nice resource. It helps students to understand the key features of rocks and soils, their uses, erosion and why we need to take care of them. If you are doing the rocks and soils unit, then this is a great presentation to use!

I have used a wide range of inspirations to create a fun conversation starting lesson about Christian Aid week. This lesson looks at different issues which may be covered in Christian Aid week such as what is war, what is peace, what is a home and how we can help our fellow man, woman and child. I have started using conversation starters in my own lessons with great effect and I think you will also enjoy using them in your own lessons. As stated in the presentation, while these resources will help you present your Christian Aid week lessons in class, I have no connection with Christian Aid.

I thought it would be a fun challenge to make a colourful alphabet about different rocks. The students could each choose a letter and then research the uses and other key facts about each of the rocks. There is a useful link at the end of the presentation which leads students to a wonderfully informative and clear website about rocks. This pack contains a 31 Teaching Activity Teacher Guide using these photo flash cards. These activities are quick and fun to do and will improve both your students' memory and vocabulary skills. You could look at it directly as a presentation and discuss the different rocks being shown in each of the photos. You could print off and laminate the photos to make an interesting, eye-catching display about Rocks and Soil Rocks alphabets. The students could also take the laminated photos and sort them Rocks and Soil Rocks alphabet. The students can then discuss what they think each one was used for. The photos could also be used as prompts for creative writing, factual writing or descriptive writing.
