Registering Births, Deaths and Marriages requires use of all the functional skills so it is vitally important for me as the tutor to embed these within the teaching session. During my micro teach session I used a variety of methods to introduce different functional skills to the learners. For example, I spoke about the history of registration and how a fine of £2 was introduced in 1875 for people who didn’t register their children’s births. As the annual salary was about £40 per year it gave the students an idea of what proportion of their salary the fine was.
