About the full version:

This is a 200 slide PPT, containing 198 philosophical debates, discussions, and dilemmas.
It also contains a ‘randomiser’ slide: when clicked a random moral problem is presented to the group.

Uses:

-P4C (Philosophy for kids)
-Form time activities
-R.S./Philosophy/Citizenship cover lessons
-Debating societies
-Making best use of spare time at the end of lessons

Discussions follow one of four formats, each asking students to move from one side of the room or the other to make their position clear: teachers should then use questioning to foster a debate between students, encouraging them to present reasons for their choice and defend their position.

The formats are:
-Is the statement TRUE of FALSE?
-Whose side do you take?
-Agree or Disagree?
-Which statement is more true?
