Lesson plans for Form Time
One of the problems which can occur with Form Time is the issue of finding a variety of engaging subjects and topics that will interest the students, and have a meaningful educational impact. One can do it for one’s own specialist subject, but in other areas it can be difficult.
The other issue is the format. Good Form Time resources need to be available on a free trial offer, and they need to be in a format that can be shared with colleagues so that everyone can have a look first, and then have equal access to the materials.
It was with these parameters in mind that Form Time activities from PDC were developed.
Within the materials there are over 100 activities for KS3 and KS4 classes. They cover a wide range of topics – and indeed some of them are detailed enough also to be of use by colleagues in schools who teach subjects such as PSHE or careers, or who handle work experience, media studies, business studies, enterprise, gap year projects etc etc.
They are all available on the internet link below and you and your colleagues can try them out for yourself for 14 days without having to commit to buying. Because they are internet based everyone can share the resources if you do decide to go ahead.
Of course, if you think they are a load of old tosh, then you just cancel within 14 days and nothing is lost. If you want to continue using them, you just hold on to the materials, and we’ll send you the invoice.
Here are the details of some of the topics covered…
Alcohol, Active Careers, Credit Crunch, Critical Consumers, Democracy, Diversity, Economic ideas, Enterprise, Gap year activities, Human rights, The media, Options in year 9, Prejudice, Revision, Professional skills, Stock Exchange, Preparing for work.
