A3 DIRT Worksheet (15+ 5-star ratings!)
KS3 RE Units
Copyright Adam Godwin (2018)
This fun philosophy lesson is focused on ‘Animal Ethics’: the branch of ethics which examines human-animal relationships, the moral consideration of animals and how nonhuman animals ought to be treated. Animal ethics explores topics such as animal rights, animal welfare, animal law, speciesism, animal cognition, wildlife conservation, wild animal suffering, the moral status of nonhuman animals, the concept of nonhuman personhood, human exceptionalism, the history of animal use, and theories of justice.
This philosophy session is of interest to teachers of all school subjects who are hoping to explore ethics with young learners; since it explores moral issues in depth the resource is a great contribution to your schools SMSC remit. This session explores topics such as:
Our moral duties towards animals
The ethics of eating meat
Animal testing
Blood-sports and
Utilitarian theories of animal ethics
The big question asked in this session is “When (if ever) is it morally acceptable to cause an animal to suffer?”. Using a variety of engaging activities students will discuss and debate a wide range of other philosophical and ethical questions such as:
What does the term ‘animal rights’ mean?
To what extent is it morally wrong to eat animals such as cats and dogs?
To what extent is it morally wrong to test cosmetics on animals? and
To what extent is hunting wild animals a moral hobby?
Students will also analyse and evaluate an eclectic mix of philosophical claims such as:
“Humans are inherently superior & valuable to all other animals”
“Animal testing is morally acceptable if the animals are being used to create new medicines”
“All species go extinct eventually: protecting endangered species is a waste of time" and
“An insect does not have an experience of living and cannot feel pain”
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.
This resource is suitable for students aged 8-16; due to the flexible nature of the sessions design it can be used for multiple hour-long sessions or as a short stimulating tutor-group activity.
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!
A wide selection of A3 printables that can serve as wall-displays, learning mats, or for use in learning activities.
Most are rich in statistical, research, graph, infographic information and are suitable for learning tasks about:

A3 DIRT Worksheet (15+ 5-star ratings!)
KS3 RE Units
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 download includes 19 out of the 20 sessions, the 20th file is the template (worth £9.99) that allows you to create your own ‘Philosophy Boxes’ sessions.
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.

This download is useful for any teachers who are hoping to foster critical thinking skills in KS2 or KS3 students.
This resource pack contains:
A double-sided A3 poster/table that identifies, describes and exemplifies 32 common logical fallacies
A 32 question ‘Logical Fallacy Quiz’ (with a teacher’s answer key)
An ‘analysing and evaluating philosophical arguments’ activity’
The A3 poster/table is an excellent resource in and of itself and can be used for other activities in the teaching of critical thinking skills.
The quiz is designed to be used alongside the table: students work in pairs or teams to identify examples of logical fallacies. There are 32 questions - which should be ample for a long lesson.
This activity can be differentiated by changing team sizes and/or shortening the quiz (allowing for more reflection time).
A smaller activity is also included: it introduces the idea of ‘philosophical arguments’, soundness, validity - and provides examples of simple philosophical arguments for young learners to analyse and evaluate.
This resource is designed with KS2 and KS3 students in mind.
This multi-use interactive learning session is an ideal way to introduce philosophy to young learners.
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.
We designed this lesson not only to introduce philosophy as an intellectual discipline but to inspire a love of philosophical thinking. To this end this session explores topics such as:
The nature of philosophy
The different fields of philosophy (epistemology, metaphysics, ethics etc.)
The philosophical method (of reasoned argumentation)
The difference between knowledge and mere belief
The big question asked in this session is “What is Philosophy?”. Using a variety of engaging activities students will discuss and debate a range of other philosophical questions such as
Why is it important to think deeply about things?
To what extent is it important to question and challenge the assumptions we live by?
What is the difference between intelligence and wisdom?
To what extent is certain knowledge possible?
Students will analyse and evaluate an eclectic mix of philosophical claims that have been chosen to represent the extensive range of philosophical enquiry such as:
“We should not trust our senses as they are too limited, easy to trick and unreliable”
“It’s important to be a sceptic and to doubt claims we hear and read on the internet”
“The biggest moral problem of our age is how we treat animals”
Aside from a wide range of debate and discussion activities, teachers can also choose from a variety of more substantial activities such as essay writing, poetry writing, and speech writing tasks.
This resource is suitable for teachers of all school subjects who are looking to introduce philosophy, philosophical thinking and critical thinking. As with all our resources, this session will help students to develop vital communication, social and interpersonal skills: healthy debates will help learners to practice ‘disagreeing in an agreeable fashion’.
This resource is suitable for students aged 8-16; due to the flexible nature of the sessions design it can be used for multiple hour-long sessions or as a stimulating tutor-group activity. The file is a PowerPoint Show: no planning or preparation is required.
This lesson was unofficially graded as "outstanding" during my second year of teaching by a Leadership Team/HoD observation.
