Mindmap Task - success criterion = 2 pieces of evidence per misconception Differentiated tables - so students finish around same time/ have scaffolding Special role - Student envoys - I use students of that religion because they can share their knowledge/ confirm other pupils answers correctly Challenge included Facts reading as a class Reading of a real life person (news) Task - Local, National, International - solutions Adapt to YOUR school name and YOUR town. - highlighted in red on PPT - could include school logo too. Golden rules - create alone/ or as class - religious studies is a sensitive topic as there is science and students of different religions so depending on your school and students - it could be worth mentioning/ creating some or serve as reminders. Note: Catholic schools didn’t need any. Non-catholic schools, I used as a reminder with the behaviour policy as it is considered a serious misbehaviour if there is any discrimination (mixed student background). Usually it’s the wrong term used - so little reminders to use the word “different” rather than “weird” etc.

15 countries A5 booklet, but you can change the paper size for a bigger size if you wanted. It is already formatted so you can literally press print (with staples) and it’ll be a lovely booklet out the printer! You can also change the content to adapt to your activity. I created this for open evening activities where the children and parents can work together or just for the children, whilst staff are able to talk to parents in a busy room. I included answers in this booklet but I usually remove this so that I give prizes to the winners so they work really hard to figure it out (especially since there is a time limit to activities before groups move along to the next department!). They love it and adds competition. If you need to save on printing and have space, you can also stick them around the room since I have them numbered and children can write down what they think. A booklet is a great memory for them and activity that they can take home to do.

Updated: Great lesson that I completed in several schools. It can fit in 1 hour, or easily be 2 hours. Starter - differences in words Differentiated reading variety: less options from easy to hard (polar bear has missing information for higher ability to think of answers). Full options provide a range of animals if you wanted to provide more variety, have a longer lesson etc. Images and maps included Endangered > Extinct line with examples included for understanding (helps lower ability a lot) Mind map - with examples Definitions included - break down of words (included in the lesson plan for how to do this) Reading information - highlighting (make sure those with polar bears know they don’t have the 2nd highlighter which is prompted on PPT but depending on your students’ ability you may need to tell them). The original reading can be changed to beginning if the school runs reading session routines, this will make them more familiar with the text and ready for the task. Create a fact file. Success Criterion included. Challenge included. Fact file works better as students focus on writing (e.g. Yr 8s mixed ability did half a page in 5 minutes). I used this class in the best schools in Basingstoke. If you have more time, you may want to do a poster but ensure they do not spend ages designing, writing a title or drawing pictures as this shows no application of knowledge. Students present their work. Depending on time and resources, you may want a table (removed from PPT) for them to complete as students present. Otherwise just some simple notes for extra information, but their in depth information will be displayed in their animal/ work. Plenary. If time pair discussions, then class. In PPT, I’ve set as class vote due to time. Reading materials include pictures, graphs, maps, statistics etc. so they have to think about the information. Check students’ reading ages before you give them an animal. Easiest is turtle, then Panda. Majority of students like Panda level. Orangutan has the heavy text which should be given to those who enjoy reading and have a higher than average reading age. E.g. grammar stream students were given polar bear, elephants, orangutans (but kept some pandas for any students who may happen to struggle on this topic).

A 2 truths and 1 lie game. There is a total of 5 rounds. Answers are animated to appear when you click. It comes up with the correct fact, or an interesting fact that is related to the statement. Title with icons. Rules included with images. This makes it understandable for all abilities, including EAL. 2024 statistics. Extremely fun and is perfect.

These are designed for 1hour. 3 slightly different versions depending on your resources/ class behaviour/ student abilities. You can mix them up. There are some Pokemon themed sections which you can remove/ alter. All materials and helpsheets included. Lesson plans are not included due to confidential data. Gapfill also included for students to try answers. In seats, short task together, short independent task building towards main independent task. Pair work. Similar to a treasure hunt but using words, to decode a secret word. Main activity is fun: linking into science, survival in real life using minimal items such as a leaf or a puddle etc. Depending on which resources you want to use and environment, this can be adapted. In this scenario, it’s in the classroom so it uses a bowl. There are other ways of making a compass but this is the minimal as you want magnetic north to address the misconceptions that North is always in front of you like the maps say. If you happen to not have materials/ or it’s being used by the science department/ don’t have any at home or the budget… you can skip the making compass section and show with your compass/ your phone/ provide compasses (depending on resources). The main activity involves a team game where they have to the teacher from A to B using the classroom. For behaviour control, they can estimate the number of steps (assuming they have also not learnt scale/ distance yet), or if you have a behaved class you can allow one student per team to leave their seat to count steps (limits to about 6 students out their seats at a time for classroom management). The purpose of the lesson is compass directions so the other factors are not important in this class. Future classes will have these skills combined. 2 and 3 looks more into real-life survival skills and involves team activities. There are also extras included depending on the class speed/ lesson time. If you have a break in classes, you can use it to prepare materials/ set up teams to save time. My students know how to move the tables, who’s in their teams, who is the team leader for collecting items (classroom management), and complete it within 30 seconds with materials. You must model it well if it is your first time with such activities.
