Explanations of Mental Illness Starter
Students will need some prior knowledge of the biological, psychological and social explanations of mental illness to partake in this Starter activity: Presentation concerns images which relate to either the biological, social or psychological explanations of mental illness. Students will need to work independently to note down which slides they think correspond to which approach. There is some overlap which will generate discussion! I would recommend that you have an impromptu discussion at the end of the starter to enable students to justify their answers, this should be an ideal AfL opportunity.

There are an array of group activities/reflections task with employment based scenarios.

Sexual Health
This tutorial which could be delivered over two sessions has been designed with very little teacher input. I originally designed this for a group of personal tutors who had never delivered this topic and were concerned about whether their knowledge was up to date.
This puts the onus on the students and is research based. It has been designed in such a way that students should stay on topic and address the tutorial in a sensible manner if groups are planned ahead of time by the teacher delivering the sessions. Smaller groups will work best.
Lesson Objectives:
Investigate a range of sexual health related topics and produce a 5 minute presentation
Present information about a sexual health topic
Identify sexual health services

These worksheets provide students with detailed guidance about how to write effective speculative and cover letters in order to secure future employment.
There are activities incorporated into these worksheets designed to get students to consider their skills and attributes, supporting them in producing unique employment letters to impress prospective organisations.
