Hate Speech and Free Speech Lesson
A fully-resourced, 2 hour lesson which investigates the concepts of free speech and hate speech.

The lesson is most suitable or KS4 / KS5 (but there is nothing unsuitable for KS3) and is editable, so easy to adapt for your own PSHE planning. The lesson includes a detailed, 2 hour PowerPoint, information sheets, differentiated activity worksheets, differentiated challenge activities and clips tasks with questions and a literacy / debate focus task. These resources have been designed to be engaging, detailed and easy to follow.
