INSPIRATIONALS - Animated Daily Motivational Power Point Slides to Inspire Your Students

As a weekly projected screen image to greet the week as the students enter class, or as a study resource to examine the language of inspiration and uplifting aphorism, this 56 slide power point is aimed to engage students with proverbs centered on themes like persistence, life long learning, planning and tolerance. The quotes are accompanied with visually arresting art, photography and animation, and are good discussion starters for talking about ethics, responsibility and the individual’s relationship to society. The level of language is aimed at secondary students in middle and senior school. I personally find that it is particularly effective in humanities, philosophy and legal studies classes, and have used some of the visuals for creative writing stimulus, in which the students respond to the moral and ethical point of the proverb with a narrative or personal reflection that reflects the idea. As a long term debating coach, I have used the material for end - of - week classroom debates, with the students contesting the ethical / logical implications of the nominated proverb.
