The Emergency Book of Short Stories and Five-Minute Fillers
Despite the most careful planning, there are always times when pupils have finished all the tasks that you have set and the clock tells you that you have still got ten minutes left to keep everyone occupied. Alternatively, you may have to deliver a short assembly or you might simply like to reward your class with a relaxing and fun end to a lesson. This resource is ideal for any of these situations. It is packed with short anecdotes and tales (all allegedly true), sometimes serious but more often humorous, strange or just plain daft. The subject matter looks at great eccentrics of the past, how scientists really discovered the things that we take for granted, where to go to make your fortune, unsolved mysteries, ecological issues and much more.
Many of the tales fit neatly into ten minutes and provide the option of follow-up work if you want to make more of them. The stories are ideal fillers, suitable for a range of occasions and can be used with all secondary age groups. In their own way, they provide material on History, Geography, Science, English and Maths in an entertaining format. If you have a few minutes to spare, fill the time with a dip into 'Stories'.
