This lesson introduces students to the theory of utilitarianism according to Jeremy Bentham and Hedonic calculus.
The lesson encourages students to first think from their personal opinion before responding to moral situations as utilitarian.
Information and task sheets have been included.
The lesson was planned in accordance with OCR a level specification but could also be used with KS4 students but I assume it would need longer to cover with them (at least 2 hours).
Four PPTs that relate to the theme existence of God and revelation for the new spec GCSE:
- Introduction to the design argument
- Objections to the design argument
- The first cause argument
- Applying the arguments to big questions
The lessons are all completely resourced please rate.
A document including a variety of quotes from Joseph Fletcher, the Bible and scholars which enable students to explain and evaluate Situation Ethics.
It is in the table format encouraging the students to:
Highlight a short section of the quote
Put the quote into their own words/ say what it suggests.
Apply it to a key element of Situation Ethics
Evaluate the assertion from the quote, what are its merits, who may disagree.
Great as a revision task for students, to be completed as shorter homework tasks alongside learning of the unit or as main classwork tasks throughout the unit.
It includes extension tasks which encourage students to reflect on learning and make links across the course.
Designed with Eduqas in mind but the content is applicable to all A Level specifications.
