The document discusses 100-minute lessons in health and social care. It proposes structuring the lessons in three parts: 1) tuition and preparation, 2) a guest speaker or interview, and 3) evaluation and reflection. This allows students to invite real sector workers into the classroom and visit local workplaces. The long lessons also provide opportunities for linking topics that use similar skills, evaluating peer work, and incorporating cross-curricular links between subjects.

1. 100 Minute Lessons
Health and Social Care
100 min - 3 part lesson or
3 x 60 min lessons?
1. Tuition and Preparation
2. Guest Speaker
/Interview
3. Evaluation and
Reflection
WWW: opportunity to invite
guest speakers into
school, allowing students to
talk first hand to real HSC
sector workers.
A valuable experience within
any vocational subject
The aim over the 2 year course is to
invite guest speakers from as many
sector areas as possible, as well as go
out of school and visit local work
places.

2. 100 minute
lessons provide
scope to link
topics that use
the same skills
and techniques
Linking of topics using same
skills
For example a lesson finding a
sequence from the nth term links
to finding the coordinates of a
linear graph with standard
equation y = mx + c
Nth term = 3n + 2
This generates the sequence
5, 8, 11, 14, 17
y = 3x + 2 generates the coordinates (1, 5)
(2, 8) (3, 11) (4, 14) (5, 17)
Using the Nth term to
work out the formula of
hydrocarbons from
distillation of crude oil
Including cross curricular links
- Animal Rights in RE with Animal Testing in Science.
- Structure of the Earth in Science with Plate Tectonics in
Geography

3. Having time for evaluation and
peer assessment
Students can sit down and
assess each other’s
practical work at the end
of the lesson and still have
time to clear up!
We can concentrate on the
criteria being assessed and
make judgements without
rushing.
This then feeds into
improvements required to
progress in future lessons.

4. Take Up Time
The ‘Green
Pen Event!’
Students write
their own ‘www
and ebi’
OR
They mark each
others work with
‘www and ebi’
and discuss in
small groups
Peer literacy marking –
both English and subject
specific
Having a glossary of words
for future reference
One lot of boxes the
teacher ticks, if they
have met the
requirement. Also
write below the label
EBI / next step
comments.
The second set of boxes are for
students to tick during take up time, if
they are confident that they can meet
the requirement.
