Who killed Chico Mendez?
Melanie Richards from St
Ursula's Convent School, Greenwich, one of the KS3 TLF pilot
schools has sent us this mystery, based on the real case of the
murder of Chico Mendez in 1988.
And
now it has been
translated into French by a French-Canadian teacher
Jean-Claude Larouche from Commission Scolaire de Montréal.
Proof positive that SLN is globalising... Thanks to all
concerned.
Marie
Hart, Head of Humanities and Geography and an AST at
Barnwell School in Stevenage, has used the Chico Mendez
resources above with Y9 and has gone one step further by turning
the activity into a trial to establish the identity of the
murderer and then to create an extended writing activity using a
differentiated writing frame as follow up. There are level
criteria for 3 bands. Marie shares her work here.

Decision Time for Guiseppe Cosanostro
Paul Thompson from Ounsdale High School has adapted
the Annie Schmit activity to be used with a unit on north/south divide
in Italy.

Should
Annie Schmit leave Windy Creek?
This activity requires pupils to consider the reasons why a young
woman might be tempted to leave her small home town in the US for a new
life in the city. Pupils are asked to consider whether Annie should leave
leading on to the bigger question of rural migration. This activity was created by
the Newcastle Thinking Through Geography Team led by David Leat.

 Gary
Dawson from Fair Oak High School has created the mystery
‘Why is Jeff Ridges (from Phoenix) annoyed
that his water bill has gone up again’ is in a unit of work on
population and is used as an example of the causes and effects of
migration. Before undertaking the mystery students are encouraged to rise
to the challenge of this demanding task and reminded of the importance of
co-operative group work.

Why might Mr Jones emigrate to Canada?
Chris Marchant, head of humanities at
Benjamin Britten High School, Lowestoft has
offered this dilemma for Mr Jones a Welsh farmer, who is
thinking of migrating to Canada. Will he or won't he?
He has used it with 6th form as part of a unit on migration. The
stimulus was an article in the Times on a farmer who was
selling his farm in Wales and moving to Canada (about a year
ago). |

Tannock's Brazil Population Pyramid Living Graph based on a
population pyramid of Brazil that she
used with Year 8. She originally had
the population pyramid on interactive
whiteboard and pupils had to come and suggest where they would
place
the statements, having to give reasons relating back to
birth rate/life expectancy etc. (Sad middle aged teachers will recognise the old video
references to Mauro and his family!) |
