Key Stage 2 Lesson Plans
The Views from Shropshire Key Stage 2 lesson plans are useful for schools who wish to enhance their work around ‘difference and diversity’ and ‘community cohesion’.
The material is based on oral history extracts from diverse communities in Shropshire, and enables pupils to develop an empathy with the real life experiences of people living in their local community. Pupils will learn key facts and information relating to the ethnic groups in Shropshire and are asked to imagine they are moving to a country, and how they might adjust to the challenges of migration.
The Views from Shropshire lesson plans can be used individually or as part of a day of activities, exploring cultural and ethnic diversity at school and in the wider community. Please adapt these resources to suit the needs of the class. Although particularly recommended for Year 5 and 6 students, they are also suitable for higher ability groups in other years.
To make the best use of these materials, book a CPD session for inspiration on how to develop the lesson plans for your school or to learn more about diverse communities in Shropshire.
