Ethical Dilemmas Movie Project pack: 2-3 Lessons worth of content.

Transform your ethics curriculum with our engaging “Ethical Dilemmas Movie Project” lesson pack, designed to inspire creativity and critical thinking in your students. Over the course of 2-3 lessons, students will reflect on their learning about ethics and work in groups to create and present a concept for a movie that incorporates an ethical dilemma and a thoughtful resolution. This project encourages students to demonstrate their understanding of topics from AI ethics, medical ethics, or business ethics, utilizing their knowledge of utilitarianism, Kantian ethics, and/or situation ethics.

Key Features:

• Creative Group Work: Students collaborate to develop a compelling movie concept that includes an ethical dilemma and resolution, showcasing their grasp of ethical theories.
• Comprehensive Assessment: Includes a range of peer and teacher assessment grids to provide structured feedback and evaluation.
• Skill Development: Fosters creativity, group work, independent research, and presentation skills, making it an ideal activity for the end of the school year.
• Engaging and Fun: Offers a dynamic alternative to traditional end-of-year/topic activities, ensuring students remain engaged and excited about their learning.
• Presentation Options: The project culminates “Dragon’s Den” style presentation, where groups pitch their concepts to the class to determine the best one. This could be extended to allow them homework/class time to film a trailer for their work.
• Adaptable - Don’t teach ethics or want to end on a different topic? This lesson is adaptable and would just need you to change a few slidEs to make it apply to any end of topic activity.

Perfect for a positive and stimulating conclusion to the school year, this lesson pack not only reinforces ethical concepts but also promotes collaboration and innovation. Don’t just pop on a movie—empower your students to create their own!
