Philosophy Unit aimed at Yr 9s to investigate whether certain case studies are right or wrong. This is a series of 6 core lessons which could very easily be extended into 10-12.
It includes a curriculum map, core knowledge questions and answers, homeworks and an out of class work booklet which goes side to side with the lessons (to support students working outside of the lesson.)
Sequence of lessons include;
L1: Introduction to Ethics; Answering the Big Questions.
L2: The Ethics of Cloning; Using Dolly the Sheep as a case study. Is cloning ethical?
L3: Do we need machines?; Looking at the evolution of machines into robots and into A.I. Discussion over whether technology helps or hinders us and how ethical A.I is. (for my students, this is often a double lesson).
L4: Law and Activism; Is the law always ethical? Is the law always moral? How do las change?
L5: Climate Activism; Exploring current climate activists and discussing whether their actions have been ethical.
L6: End of Unit Assessment (Markscheme included).
L7-L8: I always teach this unit before Christmas, and if students have finished the unit we watch I.Robot. A worksheet is attached which students complete during the movie - this gives some visual stimuli to enhance learning (and it’s a nice lesson to have before the Christmas break.)
