All topics are inspired from AQA GCSE specification though this product is relevant to all teachers of the subject. 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.
