In this worksheet students use computers/ipads to research about homelessness. There are structured questions for them to answer and website links provided. The worksheet culminates in students designing a persuasive poster for a homeless charity of their choice, using the information they have found in their research, This would make a handy cover lesson if you have access to ICT. I originally did this lesson when I was teaching ‘Stone Cold’ by Robert Swindells, although it would also make a good PSE/PSHCE/PSHE lesson. Enjoying my free resources?
