A lesson I used as an introductory lesson about migration and the different types of migrant and as a way of highlighting biases present in the media and our individual world view. Best used with new groups of students of any year 7-11 as most of the tasks are reflective and discussion based and involve random pairings and a main carousel activity. Very engaging and easy to manage lesson. Could definitely be used in a Tutor time/Citzenship lesson also and possibly for English to alert students to journalistic bias and to help them read texts more critically.

I designed this SoW for LAC SEN students with complex needs and challenging behaviour. I wanted to give them an opportunity to discuss relevant laws through a highly structured debate style lesson, where they take turns as mediators and judges each week and get given a side to debate for/against. Listening and impulse control must be demonstrated (by you!) throughout the lesson for the debate to be successful. Everyone must contribute, so it’s important to choose the roles beforehand and ensure your TAs/support staff understand how you want them to assist you. Please review if you download! Thanks :)
