This fully resourced lesson is professionally designed for the new WJEC/EDUQAS Sociology GCSE specification (9-1). This resource can now be downloaded as a part of a complete 20-lesson bundle.
This is lesson 12 of our 20 lesson course for the ‘Sociology of Family’ section.
This lesson focuses on the topic of divorce (teachers are advised to handle the issue with delicacy as some students may have sensitive feelings around the issue). It looks at changing patterns in divorce since 1945, the causes for these changes, and their consequences on individuals and society.
The download includes:
-A detailed lesson plan: highlighting differentiation, AfL, key-words, SMSC and a timeline of learning activities (.pdf)
-A premium quality, editable, and fully-animated PowerPoint presentation that covers the entire lesson
-A double-sided, colour, A3, worksheet
-Homework
All lessons are designed around the new GCSE specification, certainly useful for any GCSE specification however. We take considerable time making the highest quality lessons, positive reviews are greatly appreciated.
Metacognition and philosophy go hand-in-hand because metacognition involves thinking deeply about the nature of thought, learning, knowledge & the mind. For this reason we have put together a comprehensive whole-school philosophy resource whose sole purpose is to make students think deeply about life.
This product comprises twenty philosophical debate and discussion sessions, the following topics are covered:
Animal Rights & Caring for Animals
Art & The Nature of Beauty
Big Issues in Politics
British Values
Caring For The Environment
Celebrating Other Cultures & Religions
Christian Philosophy & Ethics
Citizenship
Computers, Robots & Artificial Intelligence
Epistemology
Ethics & Morality
Friendship, Exclusion & Bullying
Literacy, Reading & The Value of Literature
Metaphysics & The Nature of Reality
Moral & Spiritual Development
Space, Aliens & The Universe
The Biggest Questions in Philosophy
The Philosophy of History
The Philosophy of Maths
“Who Am I?” & The Philosophy of Identity
We hope this collection covers all of the bases in relation to the main fields and central debates of philosophy.
Each session features a variety of debate and discussion prompts. 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: each uses 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 plenary/assessments slides to choose from: an integrated menu means teachers can switch to and from AfL tasks easily and at any time. 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 makes these sessions highly flexible: each PowerPoint file 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. Most sessions can be used multiple times.
This is an ideal resource to bring P4C (Philosophy for Children) into your school: the range of topics means there’s ‘something for every one’ and that the cross-curricular connections are very broad.
We hold that engaging students in philosophical discussion, debates and thinking is one of the best ways to enhance their critical-thinking skills and Higher-Order Thinking Skills: the metacogntive benefits of philosophy in schools should not be underestimated!
This is our largest set of resources: ‘The Whole-School Metacognition Toolkit’ (Gold Edition) is a comprehensive educational resource suite designed to enhance metacognition and boost learning-power throughout your school.

This products features 101 metacognitive ‘thunks’: mind-expanding philosophical questions to make students think. It also includes a randomisation feature that allows you to generate seemingly random statements that the students cannot anticipate!
Unlike other thunk or philosophical debate generators: this resource is focused entirely on matters pertaining to metacognition and learning. Example questions include:
“What is a thought made of?”
“What does the word ‘intelligent’ really mean?” and
“What is the difference between knowledge and belief?”
A highly flexible tool that allows students to practice their philosophical, critical-thinking, discussion and debating skills: teachers can experiment using different discussion formats as they see fit and practice their own questioning skills in the process. It’s a fully editable PowerPoint file so you can add your own questions to!
A very simple way to bring metacognition to your school and develop your school or class’s Higher-Order Thinking skills!

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 topic of this Philosophy Boxes download is ‘Philosophy, Ethics & Computers’, the lessons deals with ethical and philosophical issues relating to: AI, drones, hacking, downloading music/movies, Virtual Reality violence in video-games and others.
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
