This download contains a large collection of worksheet templates and worksheet activities: thus allowing you to create worksheets and plan lessons with greater speed and efficiency. It is ideal for: -New teachers -Teacher training -Teachers who need to design new course materials. The cover image illustrates some of the activities contained within this download. This resource pack includes: -'Garden of Knowledge' worksheet, to accompany videos (great for cover lessons) -Agree/Disagree A3 Worksheets for discussion based lessons -A document containing a large collection of individual tasks allowing you to compile your own worksheets in a more efficient and timely manner. -Feedback, Assessment & Peer Assessment tools.

This download is for a differentiated ICT Suite lesson worksheet/instructional template with complete session instructions (PowerPoint). It includes a PPT file with instructions for students and 3 AfL slides to test learning as well as a double-sided customisable worksheet with integrated peer-assessment. It is a tried and tested method: I have used it in Sociology, RE, Philosophy & Citizenship classes. This resource can be customised for any subject and virtually any topic. It is suitable for any age, assuming they have basic PPT/Prezi and internet research skills. Teachers simply need to enter topics/rubrics for students to research and present on: separating them into the 'basic', 'medium' and 'advanced' differentiation categories. Students will need access to computers which have presentation design software installed (e.g. PowerPoint, Prezi etc) It can also be set as a homework task for students to complete at home. Because the worksheet allows students to select from various topics, organised in terms of their difficulty, it is a clearly differentiated resource; it also features integrated peer assessment with clear assessment criteria. It asks students to create presentation with quiz questions and lists differentiated options for them to choose from. The reverse of the A4 sheet features peer-assessment tables for students to rate one another's work according to specified criteria. The lesson should, ideally, use 40 minutes for students to create the presentation in pairs and then 20 minutes to quiz and peer assess one another. The worksheet is easily customisable to other topics.

This download is for a customisable PowerPoint file that allows you to make your own ‘Philosophy Boxes’ lessons. Individual ‘Philosophy Boxes’ lessons are sold as PowerPoint Shows and cannot be edited. This download, however, allows you to customise the content to suit your own lessons. The format/method is copyrighted by the original author (Adam Godwin, 2017) so resources you create are strictly NOT for re-sale. The aim of Philosophy Boxes is to bring philosophy 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. A complete selection of Philosophy Boxes lessons can be found here: https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?&q=philosophy+boxes+godwin86

The Philosophy Boxes Method is a new approach to P4C designed for students in KS1, 2 & 3: it is graphically stimulating, engaging, and fun.

The topic of this Philosophy Boxes presentation is: “Metaphysics & The Nature of Reality” and deals with the most fundamental question in all of philosophy “What is Reality?” 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 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 quiz is a simple test that looks for indicators of religious extremism and exposure to Wahhabist Islam (the branch that has become associated with terrorism). If you fear individuals in your school may have issues in relation to religious extremism, this is the test for you. It should NOT be used as a whole school test: this would risk inflaming islamophobia in your school. It should be used with individual students with the utmost discretion and privacy, and only where previous evidence deems suspicion reasonable and rational. The ideal person to administer this test is the school counsellor or someone in a position of trust in relation to the individual student. The questionnaire is a tool for exploring basic attitudes to Britain, Western values, religious tolerance, and extremist attitudes. The odd numbers are all positive indicators, the even numbers are negative indicators ; you should be able to create a total score for a given student if you wish to create data using this test. Ideally, once the test is complete, a teaching professional or counsellor can discuss the students answers and clarify their meaning. Professionals are advised to handle this matter with the utmost delicacy.
