This lesson plan aims to teach students about issues faced by the disabled and elderly in daily life. Students will match keywords to definitions, apply those terms to understand elderly experiences, and analyze how disabilities, equal opportunities, and discrimination impact the daily lives of older people. Key concepts include disability, equal opportunities, and discrimination. Activities include a starter exercise to simulate disability, mind maps comparing the elderly and disabled, surveys, poster design, and a plenary discussion. The lesson relates to prior learning on diversity, community, and charity. Assessment is through the poster campaign and survey. Differentiation is by learning outcome and using visual/artwork approaches. Homework is to finish posters.
