    This lesson plan introduces students to the concepts of families and households. It begins with an activity to distinguish between the two, explaining that a household refers to people living together while a family involves relationships. Students then learn about various modern family forms like nuclear families, blended families, lone parent families, and more. They analyze pictures of different family types and define each. The lesson concludes by having students research the types of families their classmates live in and presenting their findings, in order to illustrate family diversity in contemporary Britain.

    Teacher to call out questions e.g. how many pets in your house, how many people in your house, how
    many people in your house are you related to etc. (use the activity in the book)

    Students move from one to the other

    Development:

    Discuss what the activity showed – summarise what this shows about family structures.

    Bring out the differences between households and families:

     A household is a term used to describe a group of people living together in the same dwelling
     A family is a group of two or more people linked by birth, marriage, adoption or cohabitation based
    on a long term relationship

    Different types of families have emerged from the starter activity:

    Discussion - Which are families? (use activity in book)

     Do you need adults of both sexes in a family?


     Do you need to have children to be called a family?
     Is your pet dog a member of the family?

    Images of different types of families – in small groups discuss the picture and the situation of the family.

    Give names to the different types of families described (definitions in book):

     Nuclear family: a family group consisting of parents and their children.

     Reconstituted (or blended) family: when two adults with children from previous relationships remarry
    (or cohabit) to form a new family.

     Lone parent family: a family with only a mother or father as a consequence of death, divorce or
    individual choice.

     Extended family: parents, their children and other more distant relatives e.g. grandparents, aunts and
    uncles.

     Beanpole family: a family whose living members come from many generations, but with few members
    in each generation.

     Family diversity: the many different types of family structure that exist in contemporary society.
