Florence Nightingale Detailed Unit Plan

Description

Enquiry question: 

Why do people remember Florence Nightingale?

This unit of work contains the following resources:

– 1 Cover Sheet including assessment, sequence of learning, and specific knowledge outcomes. This now fulfils the role of the MTP so you do not need to purchase that as well.

– 3 Numbered detailed lesson plans including contextual information, substantive and disciplinary knowledge children should gain, relevant links to other periods in history, key topic-related vocabulary and disciplinary language.

– 1 optional comparison lesson with editable task sheet and slides – COMING SOON!

– Additional resources to be used in lessons are provided including consistent use of chronology to introduce children to timelines and the narrative of Florence Nightingale’s life with an emphasis on her pioneering work to improve nursing. Whilst this unit is often taught early in Key Stage 1, there are opportunities for written answers to be included and developed further for older children.

– This unit is aimed at Key Stage 1 and to add additional utility, tasks can be completed as oracy or in writing. Writing scaffolds are included as printable documents to guide answers. These are also built into lesson slides to enable shared writing using I do, we do, you do…

– This unit is 3 lessons as it can be paired with another nurse (following the same structure) to identify how nursing has changed through time. This must be done in one unit for KS1 but not every time a significant individual is taught.

The use of a clear enquiry question to guide the learning ensures that the concepts taught are purposeful. At the end of each learning sequence, the enquiry question should be answered in a way which makes use of the knowledge gained through the study.
