Ethics- Evaluating Utilitarianism

Structure of the lesson-

• Identify strengths and weaknesses of the theory.

• Introducing domino lay out for students to be able to organise their arguments which match their counter arguments.

• Using the ABCDE structure to build their essay.
  AB- Argument and Build. This is the first argument in the top section of the domino. They need to include Point, Evidence, and Explain within this section. In order to get the best marks you ideally want a couple of bits of evidence throughout this section (e.g. quotes/analogies/contemporary examples).
  CD- Challenge and Develop. This is the argument they wrote down in the bottom half of their domino. They need to include Point, Evidence, and Explain within this section. In order to get the best marks you ideally want a couple of bits of evidence throughout this section (e.g. quotes/analogies/contemporary examples). Make sure it relates back to the argument spoken about in the top half of the domino.
  E- Evalute. Out of those two arguments you explained, which one seems the most convincing to you?

• An exam practice question.

• This lesson also includes revision summary sheets for the Utilitarianism topic.
