Description
“The Independent Thinking Series” brings together some of the most innovative practitioners working in education today under the guidance of Ian Gilbert, founder of Independent Thinking Limited. It contains a collection of activities developed and used with teenagers all over the country that are short, easy to follow and engaging. The activities are split into 4 sections corresponding to the suits of playing cards: believe in yourself; know yourself; have a plan; and, go for it. Each section has 13 activities and includes NLP techniques, learning theories and multiple intelligences. Each activity comes with detailed instructions, additional information, possible follow on activities plus hints and examples of the ways the material has been used effectively. They can be used as one off activities to spice up a session or can be put together to form one hour lessons or even whole day events.There are suggested combinations of activities to suit different topics such as PSHE, successful revision/learning and SEAL.
