A3 DIRT Worksheet (15+ 5-star ratings!)
KS3 RE Units
These workbooks are suitable for homework, classwork or distance learning: they will help your students to get more from watching documentaries and videos.
Each of thee colourful printable booklets includes ten learning sessions spread over twenty pages. You could also just print a couple of pages from a given workbook to create a worksheet for an instant video-learning lesson: ideal for cover lessons!
This teaching resource is designed for GCSEGCSE Geography. Please note that each workbook follows exactly the same format in terms of activities: the difference between each workbook is their covers and the video-links that are contained within.
Each workbook includes links to ten different documentaries or lengthily videos and straight-forward note-taking and comprehension activities so as to structure and foster engagement with the documentary whilst enhancing student learning.
Over time some of the links in the workbooks might expire, I’ll try to update them from time to time but the workbook is easy to edit - so make sure you check that the links still work before printing and update any broken/defunct links that might crop-up! I’ve done my best to include links to the best videos available for each topic: teachers should ensure that the video links included are suitable for their specific classes.

This bundle contains 6 revision sessions, designed to cover the ‘Culture & Identity’ section of the new AQA Sociology specification.
The revision sessions feature:
-A ‘grid of learning’ post-it task (to focus students on the day’s topic and refresh their memories of the basics)
-A 'competitive mind-mapping task (which can be completed on the whiteboard or on A3 paper)
-A silent debate task (with 6 x A3 silent debate worksheets in an editable .doc file) [nb. allowing group conversation, instead of silence, is also an effective approach]
-Debates that ask students to move from one side of the room or the other and verbalise a defence of their position in response to a statement or rubric.
-A concluding ‘One thing I am still uncertain about…’ post-it question.
Each session follows the same format, they can be:
-Used as revision sessions during a revision period of term-time leading up to exams
-Sandwiched between lessons as they are taught throughout the year as a way of solidifying and assessing learning
Please note: the cover picture depicts some of the activities that make up this revision session, the wording within those tasks is adapted to the topic specified above and may differ from the wording depicted. Contents and tasks may vary slightly between revision sessions. The cover photo is, however, a fair depiction of the contents of the lesson.

This fun philosophy lesson is focused on ‘environmental ethics’: the branch of ethics that studies the moral relationship between humans and the natural environment. This multi-use session will help your students to explore how we should act towards the environment and the creatures that live in it.
This philosophy session is useful as a part of your schools PSHE/SMSC provision and is of particular interest to biology teachers, geography teachers, teachers of environmental sciences and ethics teachers. It’s also a perfect resource for educators to use for ‘Earth Day’ (April 22nd). The session explores topics such as:
Humanity’s relationship to nature
Climate change and its implications
Moral duties towards wildlife
How to live an eco-friendly lifestyle
Sustainable Societies
The environmental impact of lifestyle choices
The big question asked in this session is “To what extent is it climate change a problem that can be solved?”. Using a variety of engaging activities students will discuss and debate a wide range of other philosophical and ethical questions such as:
What is the single biggest threat to the health of our planet’s ecosystem at the moment?
To what extent is spending time in natural environments important for maintaining good mental health?
In terms of choosing a career: which careers and jobs cause the most harm, and which the least, to the environment?
If the meat industry is one of the leading producers of greenhouse gasses that cause climate change: should we all go vegan?
What are our moral duties to ‘climate change refugees’?
If you were the ruler of the world: what laws would you create in order to protect the planet from environmental harm?
This session uses our unique format for philosophy teaching resources and features an integrated menu that allows teachers to select from a variety of starter, main, plenary, assessment and end-of-lesson reflection activities. With a massive selection of activities designed to trigger philosophical discussions, debates and reflections: you can re-use the resource numerous times with the same group.
Students will also analyse and evaluate an eclectic mix of philosophical and ethical claims such as:
“It is never acceptable for a company to pollute a river”’
“Since an asteroid will one day destroy all life on earth: environmentalism doesn’t actually matter”
“The basic drivers of climate change will not change – so humanity is doomed”
“There are too many humans on this planet: it’s best not to reproduce and create more” and
“Humans have a right to do with the planet whatever we want”
The file is a PowerPoint Show: no planning or preparation is required, just run the file and the intuitive menu system will make delivering a powerful philosophy session very easy!
This bundle contains a Christmas quiz for Chemistry teachers and a selection of seven Christmassy video-worksheets that can be used with any video (or series of videos) to enhance learning and foster engagement.
Together they comprise an easy and fun Christmas lesson (you might wish to shorten the quiz if you wish to do this).
They can also be used individually to constitute multiple Christmas lessons. I am confident you will find the video-learning worksheets especially versatile and useful throughout the month building up to the Christmas break.
The resources are suitable for any age group: the quiz can be differentiated easily by changing team sizes.
Please see individual items for more details.
Merry Christmas and thank you for checking-out my resources! :)

This colourful printable booklet includes ten learning sessions spread over twenty pages. You could also just print a couple of pages from this workbook to create a worksheet for an instant video-learning lesson: ideal for cover lessons!
This teaching resource is designed for GCSE Geography and deals with the ‘The Challenge of Resource Management’ component of the specification. The workbook is suitable for all specifications but was based around the latest AQA specification.
The workbook includes links to ten different documentaries or lengthily videos and straight-forward note-taking and comprehension activities so as to structure and foster engagement with the documentary whilst enhancing student learning.
The twenty-page workbook was designed with homework in mind and contains ten different homework sessions. I would suggest using the booklet as a simple way to take care of ‘every other homework’ and use it to supplement your other approaches to homework: just print the booklets out and give them to your students. You can also use the booklets just as well in a classroom setting and they are incredibly easy to use such that even a non-specialist cover-teacher could make use of them. They’re also an ideal way to bolster your distance learning provisions in times of student absence.
Over time some of the links in this workbook might expire, I’ll try to update them from time to time but the workbook is easy to edit - so make sure you check that the links still work before printing and update any broken/defunct links that might crop-up! I’ve done my best to include links to the best videos available for this topic: teachers should ensure that the video links included are suitable for their specific classes.

This is a blank/template Personal Learning Checklist and Exam Preparation Worksheet for any subject. It is useful at GCSE/A-Level. It is designed as a double-sided A4 print-out.
The download includes a completed PLC to illustrate how it should be customised and used.
It is great for:
-Revision lessons
-AfL
-Fostering teacher-student dialogue
-Exam preparation
This is an ideal tool for your students to help them keep track of their learning, and help you monitor the classes strengths and weaknesses. It serves as a highly efficient form of self-assessment.
On the reverse of the sheet are other useful measures that allow teachers to gauge a student's confidence and reflective abilities.
The worksheet:
-Allows the student to see clearly what they need to know for the exam.
-Allows the student to communicate to their teacher how they can be best helped.
-Gets the student to analyse their progress in relation to their target grade.
-Encourages students to reflect in a structured manner on their necessary revision focusses.
-Gets students to establish both a revision and an exam technique focus.
The following worksheet can be used with any documentary, long video or series of videos,
It can be used in any subject and for any topic.
The purpose is to focus learning whilst students watch a video. It allows students to 'get more out of' video-watching activities and allows teachers to structure discussions as a result.
Whilst watching a documentary or video students add to the following rubrics:
-5 interesting things I saw…
-One big question I would ask…
-The four points to summarise the video(s)…
-Interesting things I heard…
-How I could connect this to other subjects…
-Five ways I can connect this topic to my own life…
-One thing I will definitely remember…
-Interesting facts from the videos…
-Questions I would ask…
A tried and tested tool I have used many times. If you're "just watching a video" at the end of term and want to make it a more meaningful and productive task: this worksheet is for you!
This bundle is for a collection of ‘Philosophy Boxes’ lessons/sessions.
Each session comprises a P4C lesson/session that can be used 2-3 times with the same group.
This contains the complete 20 sessions bundle designed for Primary School Teachers. It is tantamount to a complete cross-curricular P4C course and will be useful for countless hours of teaching across every subject. Many of the sessions are also great for tutor/form time.
The Philosophy Boxes Method is a new approach to P4C designed for students in KS1, 2 & 3: it is graphically stimulating, engaging, and fun. This download is also suitable for older students: but the format was designed with younger students in mind.
The aim of Philosophy Boxes is to bring philosophy and critical thinking into every subject at every level: we believe that any subject becomes philosophy when students are asked the right questions and when they think about a topic hard enough and on the deepest (most fundamental) level.
The Philosophy Boxes Method presents students with a set of ‘mystery boxes’, when a student selects one of the boxes they are presented with 1 of 21 discussion/debate activities [that use 1 of 8 different formats].
The presentation has integrated AfL so that teachers can test knowledge at any point in the lesson. There are 10 different AfL slides to choose from.
The design is colourful, animated, fun and engaging: all activities require movement and teachers can decide whether students are expressing their ideas purely verbally or by using post-it notes.
The nature of the design is that it can be used for short sessions (5-10 minutes) or much longer sessions (up to 2 hours!) - it allows for classroom practitioners to be flexible and adaptable. It can, therefore, be used in lessons or as a tutor-time activity.
The download includes a PowerPoint Show; if you would like an editable PPT presentation so that you can make your own ‘Philosophy Boxes’ presentation you will need to download the template here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-the-philosophy-boxes-method-template-for-creating-your-own-philosophy-boxes-lessons-p4c-p4k-11463227
A complete selection of Philosophy Boxes lessons can be found here: https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?&q=philosophy+boxes+godwin86
Other bundles of ‘Philosophy Boxes’ lessons exist, depending on your need.

A3 DIRT Worksheet (15+ 5-star ratings!)
KS3 RE Units

This download contains an editable 50+ slide PowerPoint featuring the most important debates relevant to AS/A2 Economics students (using the new AQA specification). It also contains a ‘randomiser’ slide so that debate topics can be selected randomly.
Debates take an ‘agree or disagree’ format: students are asked to move from one side of the room to the other depending on their response to the statements that appear.
All topics are taken from the latest AQA Economics (7135, 7136) specification though this product is relevant to all KS5 teachers of the subject. A seperate debate generator has been created for the Business Studies specification: you can find it in our shop.
This format allows teachers to foster debates and discussions between students, it can be helpful to ask students to justify their reasons and use sensible arguments. Questions you might ask include:
“What is wrong with the other position in your view?”,
“Why did you choose to stand where you’re standing?”,
“Why do you think people disagree so much about this question?”
It is best to encourage students to pick a side rather than float in the middle: but it can also be fun to allow students to change side as the debate progresses, so that students can try to persuade one another to move.
This is a great resource to use at the end of lessons if you have a few minutes left, it can be used as an entire lesson or revision session.
