Free Activity, Lesson & Unit Plans
I am passionate about educating our youth and making it as easy as possible for educators to teach about Palestine & diversity. To assist schools, educators and beyond, we have created a range of Activities, Lessons & Unit Plans to use alongside my Palestine children’s series and all my books for Young Adults. They are completely free, with no catch!
You can find them anytime via the new Educational Resources tab on my website.
Enquire directly for school/bulk discounts to purchase your books. Alternatively, just use your favourite bookstore to order yours. Download the plans via the link to my free and easy Word files, and begin your educational journey today!
