Timing / Teaching and Learning
Creating a Safe Environment: Establishing the rules / 10 mins /

Establish classroom rules for discussion activities as democratically as reasonably possible (pupils always respect rules and regulations if they have a part in deciding them). These are negotiable but respectful language; giving people space and time to speak; respecting that some things are private and revealing things about friends and relatives without them knowing would not be right.

The rules should be observable to the whole class throughout the lesson.

Focus the Learning - Learning Objectives: Tell students what they will learn, how it relates to their experience, the standard at which they are working and write key vocabulary on the board. / By the end of the Lesson:
All students must; be familiar withsome personal identities including LGBT+;Black, disabled; some identities being more visible than others; some people having more than one personal identity.
Most students should; be able to identify more than one LGBT+ person who has another personal identity;say how someone might have negative experiences because of one or more of their personal identities; relate intersectionality to at least one person they know either personally or through the media.
Some students could;say how having more than one personal identity could lead to experiencing prejudice and discrimination for each identity.
