This resource is the product of 3 years teaching RS & Philosophy and, under observations, the lessons it has helped create have all been rated as good-outstanding. It is designed to make the creation of PPT presentations/lessons very quick and easy and includes: -Introduction slides -Learning Activities -Plenary Tasks -MAF There are over 100 slides. Most of the contents are easily adaptable to other subjects (especially Humanities subjects). Most activities are designed with differentiation in mind. In terms of design: slides may feature timers, animations, and stimulating graphics. I have always been a bit of a perfectionist in my design and hope it comes across in the slides. Thanks in advance for supporting my work: I hope it saves you a lot of time, improves your practice, and helps your students learn in an exciting and stimulating way. Sincerely, Adam Godwin

It covers five topics, each contains eleven debate worksheets. Each topic comprises a learning session, though the resources can be used as shorter learning activities. The five topics discussed are: Thinking Deeply About The Value of Education Thinking Deeply About Thought Thinking Deeply About Memory Thinking Deeply About Concentration Thinking Deeply About Independent Learning A short instructional PowerPoint is also included so as to guide the learning sessions.

This PowerPoint included 101 debate prompts. It also contains a ‘randomiser’ slide so that debate topics can be selected randomly. Each prompt is designed to trigger reflection on a metacognition or learning-power issue, examples include: “A health body leads to a healthy mind” “It is possible to know too much” and “Everyone is born with an equal capacity for success in school.” 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. 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. Thank you for looking at our resources!

This session, based around metacognition learning activities that use sticky-notes (‘Post-It’ notes), focuses on the factors, skills and choices that can enhance learning-power: the aim is to get students to engage in metacognitive reflection in a fun and engaging way. Students will need an ample supply of post-it notes that they can write on and place on the board. There are approximately 50 slides, comprised of four main styles of activity: short plenary activities are also included between the main tasks. Simply run the PowerPoint and work your way through: skipping ahead as necessary using the integrated buttons on the presentation. The PowerPoint is designed to be used multiple times in multiple sessions: do not try to complete all tasks in one sitting! The idea is that you will use a few slides from each activity, as well as the AfL/plenary tasks, in each session: this will keep sessions sufficiently varied to keep students engaged. The PowerPoint is very flexible: you can use this for short sessions of 10-15 minutes, or longer sessions up to an hour in length. Thank you for looking at our resources!
