Text: Two of everything- Babette Cole
Lesson plan by Andrew Moffat / www.equalitiesprimary.com
|
Resources: prepare a range
of examples of public meeting posters taken form google images.
|
LI:
To share problems
|
Success
criteria: I know what to do if I have a problem / I know who I can talk to
|
Starter: What are the
different roles that are needed to make a group work effectively?
What
is a marriage? Who can get married? If
people who are married keep arguing what are their options? Once you are
married do you have to stay together for ever?
|
Main : Read text and discuss the themes
in the book. What did Mum and dad argue about? Why do you think Paula and
Demetrius thought it was their fault? What did they do about their problem?
Role
play:
Show the title, “The trouble with adults”. In each group one person is the
chair person whose role it is to run the debate and tell people when they can
speak. One person speaks in favour of adults and one person speaks against
adults. The fourth person acts as a judge and may ask questions to each
speaker once they have delivered their points. The chairperson must encourage
the group to reach a conclusion by the end of the role play. Each group
should then feed back their main points to the class, summarising positive and
negative things about adults.
|
Activity: Prepare a poster
for the meeting on parents. Look at the poster made by Demetrius and Paula in
the book; how can it be improved? Does the poster give any information about
what the problem is? Do you think more children would have come to the
meeting if they knew more information about it? Look at examples of posters on
the internet; which are most effective? Why?
|
Plenary: Do you think
Paula and Demetri were right to hold a meeting to talk about their worries?
What else could they have done? Who else could they have talked to? Did they
ever try talking to their parents? If they hadn’t spoken up would anything
have changed? How do you think they felt when the realised they weren’t the
only ones feeling sad and confused about life at home?

AFL
questions: What have we learned about today? / If I am worried about
something I can…

These plans and books can be used as additional resources to extend and develop the No Outsiders scheme of work. See, "No Outsiders In Our School: Teaching The Equality Act In Primary Schools" by Andrew Moffat for the original scheme.

Pupil Voice Year 5 and 6: Two of everything by Babette Cole
I always begin the academic year with Pupil Voice lessons. The aim is to lay the groundwork for the year of equalities education by promoting and ethos where children in the school are speaking up, joining in and making their voice heard.
