This PowerPoint features 100 debates relating to sexual ethics and sexual heath. It also features a 'ramdomiser' so that debate topics can be summoned at random. This PowerPoint can be used for multiple PSHE sessions and should be considered an essential download for all those who deliver Sex Education. Each debate asks 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. Debates typically last 5-10 minutes each. The topics covered are broad, progressive, modern, often controversial and sometimes even a bit far-out (e.g. there's one about robotic prostitutes!). One of the aims of the PowerPoint is to use reason and critical thinking to examine sexual ethics whilst challenging social norms and conventions where they may be unhelpful. Teachers are advised to check, in advance, that the debates are suitable for their classes/years/schools/contexts etc: the PowerPoint is easily editable if you need to make any changes. I have tried to choose topics that are abstract enough that students should be able to answer freely without any social-risk or too much personal revelation (e.g. about their own sexuality etc).
