It’s a very text heavy powerpoint, it has some pictures but for the most part it’s just text.

1 Title page showing the spec
1 keywords slide
1 slide on qualia
1 slide on supervenience
1 slide on interactionism/epiphenomenalism

15 slides on the AQA topic of Applied Ethics (meta-ethics version is in a different lesson, this is just utilitarianism, kant and VE)
1 slide on lesson objectives

-1 slide on keywords
2 slides on Bentham
5 slides on problems with Act Utilitarianism
2 Slides on JS Mill
1 Slide on Preference Utilitarianism
Used in a 1-1 session and made it last around 90 mins. Could definitely get it to stretch multiple lessons in bigger classrooms if you add discussion work and activities etc.
14 slides on the Nature of God topic which is covered in both OCR and AQA. This lesson has the AQA spec as its first page but that can just be deleted if you’re on OCR.

Made for a 1-1 session and made it last over an hour, you could add talking / discussion points to make it stretch out way more in a larger class.

Includes what the spec says
What is the Tripartite View
Knowledge without Truth, Belief or Justification
Gettier Cases
Infalibilism
No False Lemmas
Virtue Epistemology

In a class of 30 you could probably stretch it if you include your own talking points etc.
9 slides on the Epistemology topic of AQA including:
1 slide on the spec (helps students understand what and why they’re leaning)
1 slide of keywords (could use this as a defining exercise by covering it up etc)

1 slide on Plato’s innatism
3 slides on Locke vs Leibniz (rationalism vs empiricism / tabula rasa)
Used for a 1 on 1 session and it lasted 2 hours. Could definitely stretch it out in larger classes with your own talking points
14 slides on Kantian Ethics.
The last few slides contain essay and exam advice about a specific question to Kant.
Covers his Formulations and Postulates, includes keywords.
Has an activity to apply to ethical dilemmas (SE, BE, Euthanasia).
I used this for a one hour one-one tuition session and didn’t get through everything so could probably stretch even further in a class of 30+.
14 slides on the Person of Jesus Christ topic in OCR’s Philosophy module
Covers
The specification and what it says
Key words
5 slides on the Trinitarian Theory including biblical evidence and criticisms
2 slides on Jesus’ Miracles
Resurrection
2 slides on Jesus as a Teacher of Wisdom
2 slides on Jesus as a Liberator
I used this for an hour private tuition session and we got through it all, however if you’re using this in a class I imagine you could make it last a couple of lessons at least by adding discussion points etc.
8 slides on the section God’s Existence in the OCR A-Level spec.
Covers Nat Law & Aquinas
Covers Augustine & Barth and rationality being corrupted
Covers Sensus Divinatus & Calvin
References some other scholars.
I’d say this would be good for a ‘recap lesson’ rather than a whole lesson. I got through a 1hour lesson with it, though.
