KS3 Cover lesson - Christmas Special

Cover lesson - requires sound and a screen
Can be delivered by a non specialist

Tried and tested 60 minute cover lesson made up of embedded video clips, questions, answers and supporting material. There are two versions of this lesson. The first is a good fit for well established groups with a decent amount of analytical listening experience. The second is simpler, and probably more suited to year 7 term 1.
