Designed for teachers using the new AQA Philosophy specification (teaching from 2017 onwards).
This revision session covers the ‘Berkeley’s Idealism’ section of the specification. The topic is a part of the Epistemology component of the AS course.
This download contains one of a series of revision sessions that use a variety of mind-mapping, discussion and debate tasks to cover a section of the specification. It includes a fully animated revision session PowerPoint and a set of ‘silent debate’ A3 worksheets. All resources are editable.
The revision sessions can be used in a number of ways:
-As revision sessions during a revision period of term-time leading up to exams
-Sandwiched between lessons as they are taught throughout the year as a way of solidifying and assessing learning
-During extra-curricular time (KS5 Philosophy Clubs)
This revision session features:
-A ‘grid of learning’ post-it task (to focus students on the day’s topic and refresh their memories of the basics)
-A 'competitive mind-mapping task (which can be completed on the whiteboard or on A3 paper)
-A silent debate task (with 6 x A3 silent debate worksheets in an editable .doc file) [nb. allowing group conversation, instead of silence, is also an effective approach]
-Debates that ask students to move from one side of the room or the other and verbalise a defence of their position in response to a statement or rubric.
-A concluding ‘One thing I am still uncertain about…’ post-it question.
This session can be purchased individually or as part of various bundles depending on your needs.

My students find debating topics a great way to revise so this was ideal. Our department invested in the revision materials for the entire AS/A2 content and we use the format for about half of our revision sessions: it would have taken me ages to do this myself so I'm glad to have downloaded it. <br /> <br /> The lessons look very nice, they're well designed, and the students seem to enjoy the debates. Thanks for sharing!
As described, saved me time, great design :)
I'll be honest - the brianwilson review made me wary of using my credit to buy your resource, as I'm desperately in need of some really solid stuff on this topic - am so glad I took a leap of faith - this is an excellent resource, thorough, comprehensive, range of engaging activities, and what for me is VERY important - the visual presentation is really high quality too - fab!
An excellent resource-really thorough and detailed with some great silent debate activities. Perfect for revision of this topic! This has saved me so much time planning-thank you.
