Lesson: What are the dangers of online pornography?
This lesson is Lesson 5 in the ‘Online Ethics’ unit, devised as part of a brand new, relevant and engaging scheme of work for both KS3 and KS4. It was created in response to an increasing call for exploration into the declining standards of behaviour being demonstrated online. Though there are clear links with PSHE, it is a revolutionary unit, as nothing like this has been done before in the field of Philosophy of Ethics.
It is intended as a double (roughly one and a half hours per lesson) however, due to time restrictions and the embedded support in the corresponding lesson sheets, could also be taught in a minimal one hour.
This scheme of learning has been devised explicitly to support the Recovery Curriculum, interleave learning with previously-learned units (Philosophy and Ethics) and support cognition through interleaving techniques.
Although part of a unit, this lesson can also be taught as a stand-alone lesson, e.g. for revision. The corresponding lesson sheets would also support a home-learned curriculum as the PowerPoints and Packs themselves include differentiation and scaffolding, where required.
The interleaved schemed of work are specifically designed to promote the two skills desired for success at GCSE:
AO1 (Knowledge and Understanding)
AO2 (Analysis and Evaluation)
The resources are specifically created to ensure students are aware of the skill they are demonstrating and how to improve further through modelling.
These new units bring the relevance back to our topics, for example, through thought experiments and reference to current affairs. Students will experience greater engagement and enjoyment in a fair and balanced approach.
Lesson includes:
Homework Slide
Lesson overview
Starter activity, including interleaving
Key words (literacy focus)
Introduction of key information (AO1 - knowledge) and how this is used (AO1 - understanding)
Introduction of a contentious issue or debate (AO2 - analysis) and finalised judgement (AO2 - evaluation)
Plenary
Lesson Sheets:
If you would rather work in exercise books, the Work Pack/lesson sheets are designed so that you can print off relevant pages - it is a resource pack. This would be useful if you have appropriate curriculum time to cover the content of the course. Unfortunately, this is not the case across all schools, and therefore the Work Pack helps by providing time-saving activities, whilst still being able to cover the breadth and depth of the course.
In addition, students who may be limited by literacy issues, e.g. slower writing paces, are not disadvantaged or capped in their progress. Therefore, some classes could use a mixed approach - part Work Pack, part exercise book - and all students will be able to progress through the same volume of content.
Lesson: Do violent games make violent players?

This series will support your students in practising Mindfulness, through developing strategies that are explicitly tailored to help students to help themselves when it comes to stress, anxiety and overwhelming emotions.
Each ‘episode’ approaches a different technique or emotion, helping students to unburden themselves from the weight of negative, obstructive thinking. The core idea is that they (and we!) can stay calm, present and in control.
The episodes cover:
Introduction (What is mindfulness/benefits/what we will do)
Here and now (Tasting meditation) - polo mints required!
Breathing
Mornings
Option Reflection Session
Appreciating the Present
Anger (the Red Wolf)
Gratitude
Generosity
Each episode comes with a PowerPoint and a script, written in the notes of the PPT. Of course, you are welcome to use or change the script, however it has been carefully written, using professional input from life coaches, child psychologists and certified counsellors, to maximise mindfulness and the accessability of it for children.
Each episode also comes with a pre-recorded video of the same presentation, enabling a ‘click and play’ approach, if you would not rather record your own or do the talking yourself.
Finally, if you don’t want to deliver this session on a ‘Monday’, you can change the opening slide! Mindfulness is for every day, not just Mondays! (Although I personally need it a little more on a Monday…!)
