<p>This is a PPT lesson for the end of term. It features a number of Christmas movie clips from ClickView (the link is in the notes of the PowerPoint slide) with some key philosophical questions for discussion. If your school doesn’t use ClickView, it should be pretty obvious which clips I mean. In Home Alone it’s the whole booby trap scene, in Muppet’s Christmas Carol it’s the bit from Ghost of Christmas Future onwards and for The Grinch it’s from when the Grinch decides to steal Christmas to the end. It kept my class going for maybe an hour and a half.</p>

<p>This is a PPT lesson containing some festive activities focused around philosophy of knowledge/metaphysics/epistemology. The clip is available in clickview and I have included a link in the notes section of the PowerPoint slide. If your school doesn’t use PowerPoint, it should be obvious which section of Muppet’s Christmas Carol I show - it’s essentially from Scrooge returning to his home, meeting Marley and Marley and encountering the Ghost of Christmas Past. It contains a debate task, research task and creative writing task and kept my class going for an hour or so.</p>
