It is a perfect 'instant lesson' and is useful both to RE specialists and as an emergency cover lesson led by non-specialists: all you need to do is print out one of the included worksheets and run the PowerPoint!
Aside from links to carefully selected videos; this download includes:
-a full lesson PowerPoint Show (.ppsx)
-AfL tasks
-SIX video-learning worksheets (.doc or .pdf)
-A detailed lesson plan (and a slightly amended version for cover teachers)
The worksheets are specially designed 'Video-Learning Worksheets' that structure students' learning whilst they use documentary evidence to research a subject: three of the worksheets are A4 and the other 3 A3 size (all double-sided!).
Our video-learning sessions are also useful for GCSE Religious Studies classes. Since we provide a selection of video-links for each topic it is easy to differentiate for your class: you can even use your own videos in conjunction with the video-learning worksheets provided.
Positive reviews are warmly welcome!

______________________________
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?
This resource is great value at £4.99 and cannot be found elsewhere:
-It clearly contributes to your school’s SMSC provision
-Furthers students’ critical thinking skills
-It allows for countless hours of discussion and debate to be structured in a focussed and engaging manner.
-It would take days to reproduce yourself.
-It can save vast amounts of staff time in preparing cover lessons
-It is the perfect way to make the most of any time a teacher might have left at the end of a lesson.
-It deals with cross curricular issues
Please note: this resource deals with controversial issues, debates and questions that may be deemed unsuitable for younger children. It is designed for secondary school students, but can be easily adapted to younger years with appropriate amendments by their teacher.
Enjoy this free resource for GCSE Sociology: it contains links to four sociology-relevant music videos.
