Lessons for Next Year

Need content for next year's topics? Not sure how to fill 5 lessons a week? Then use a specialised Google search to see what others have done on the topic.  Click HERE to enter advanced search, enter your chosen topic at the top and find 'filetype' to narrow your search by. This will allow you to choose only PowerPoint files, and this will let you browse existing presentations on your topic. The results will inspire your own lessons, either as a new PowerPoint based on several others, or by using some of the content you can use as the basis for your own chalk and talk. You can do exactly the same for pdf, Excel, Word and Flash files.
