This download is for Religious Studies teachers covering Buddhism at GCSE Level. It can also be used at KS3 level, though its design is based on GCSE specifications (2016/7 onwards).
It features:
-50 Debates
-Animated slides
-A randomiser function
-Central moral/ethical teachings for students to link to debate prompts
-All debates linked to moral issues from the exam board specifications (specifically, OCR/AQA specs, 2016/7 onwards)
It is ideal for:
-Teaching and revising moral concepts specific to the religion covered.
-Teaching students to apply general moral principles from the religious tradition to different moral issues.
-Practising exam technique: most of the debate prompts are potential 12/15 mark questions.
-End of lesson activities
-Revision sessions
-Cover lessons
The debate format asks students to move from one side of the room or the other based on whether they think a member of the religious tradition should agree or disagree with the statement, it is also good practice to get students to move to express their opinion in response to the statement.
It is also good practice to ask students for ideas other than the ones on the slide they might connect, and update the slides accordingly.
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 presentation is: “Ethics & Morality”.
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
