This download contains an editable 50+ slide PowerPoint featuring debates for GCSE Religious Studies students. It also contains a ‘randomiser’ slide so that debate topics can be selected randomly.
This tool focuses on Christian teachings and does not refer to a specific comparative religion (making it suitable for all GCSE RS teachers). I based the debate topics on commonalities between AQA, OCR and Eduqas specifications: it should be useful regardless of the specification you are using.
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 or revision session. It’s a fun way to introduce a course or to use as an ice-breaker with new classes, and can also be used by tutor groups as a whole-school initiative.

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.
A Personal Learning Checklist [and DIRT worksheet] for A2-Level Religious Studies (new specification).
Based on the OCR specification, for the Philosophy of Religion section of the course
This worksheet allows for a complete review of learning for the Philosophy of Religion section of the A2-Level course.
The first side is a PLC with two ways for the student to rate confidence and the second side features a key-word check as well as various DIRT tasks.
This double-sided A4 worksheet is great for:
-Revision lessons
-AfL
-Fostering teacher-student dialogue
-Directed Individual Reflection Time (DIRT)
-Exam preparation
-Checking key-word knowledge (literacy)
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 focuses.
-Gets students to establish both a revision and an exam technique focus.
This bundle contains 5 revision sessions, designed to cover the ‘Work, Poverty & Welfare’ 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.

Thank you for your download!
Positive reviews are greatly appreciated.
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 “Multiculturalism & Celebrating Other Cultures”.
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

A3 DIRT Worksheet (15+ 5-star ratings!)
KS3 RE Units
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.
Designed for teachers using the new AQA Philosophy specification (teaching from 2017 onwards).
This revision session covers the ‘Berkeley’s Idealism’ section of the specification. The topic is a part of the Epistemology component of the AS course.
This download contains one of a series of revision sessions that use a variety of mind-mapping, discussion and debate tasks to cover a section of the specification. It includes a fully animated revision session PowerPoint and a set of ‘silent debate’ A3 worksheets. All resources are editable.
The revision sessions can be used in a number of ways:
-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
-During extra-curricular time (KS5 Philosophy Clubs)
This revision session features:
-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]

-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
-During extra-curricular time (KS5 Philosophy Clubs)
This revision session features:
-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.
This session can be purchased individually or as part of various bundles depending on your needs.
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.
