Spare Tyre’s acclaimed show for secondary schools BURNING has now been released as an anti-homophobia DVD resource for teachers that supports the PSHE curriculum KS3 and KS4. The show toured London schools in autumn 2004 and nationally in 2005.
In addition to the BURNING DVD, the resource pack contains a booklet with two 50-minute lesson plans on how to deal with the subjects of homophobia, identity and choice, including suggested questions and summaries for teachers. The Teachers’ Pack offers additional resources, exercises and ideas.
“Some excellent answers came about through the thought provoking material. It’s a difficult subject to approach generally due to prejudice and lack of knowledge.” - Teacher, Ravens Wood, Bromley
“It touched on a number of issues important to young people. I was surprised that so many students admitted that they would have bullied in a homophobic way.” - Teacher, Hounslow Manor School, Hounslow
One copy of BURNING is available free to all educationalists, education providers and organisations working with young people. If you feel you would be in a position to distribute BURNING amongst your key PSHE coordinators please email us on burning@sparetyretheatrecompany.co.uk with details of the quantity you require. Multiple copies to the same institutions are available, but will be charged at a rate of £10 each (inc P&P).
Spare Tyre also offer the training session ‘Using the BURNING DVD in your Classroom’, for PSHE Coordinators and teachers. Sessions are charged at £150 and last for 2 hours. Please email us on burning@sparetyretheatrecompany.co.uk to book or for further information on the company.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch if I can supply any further information. I look forward to hearing your comments/seeing the review on the DVD.
