The Apprentice - Evaluation and CV Skills!

(0)
Develop students’ skills of evaluation and persuasive writing, as well as their understanding of what a CV is and what a good one looks like. Students start by thinking about their own aspirations. They are then given the chance to read snippets from eight very different CVs, which they use to make an Lord Sugar-style decision about which of the eight candidates they would hire for the role! The lesson concludes with a writing task for students to demonstrate their writing and evaluation skills. All you need is a printer for the resources, blue tac to stick the CVs around the room, and a powerpoint projector! Have fun! :)

The Poverty Game - A Christmas Carol Context Skills

(3)
How can you get your students to understand what Victorian poverty actually looked like, and have fun at the same time? Students are given the challenge of surviving a week as a child in a working class Victorian family. To survive, they must spend their money wisely, navigating through a series of choices and decisions. For example, will they choose to go to school, or go out and work? By showing students what Victorian poverty looked (and felt) like, this fun lesson helps their understanding of the context of 19th century literature, particularly Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”! All you need is this powerpoint, and a printer to print off copies of the budgeting table (included on slide!) (An extension activity is included, but this game should last all lesson! Feel free to rearrange the slides or include your own obstacles so that you can play it again and again!) Have fun! :)
