The topic of this revision session is: ‘Dimensions of inequality: class, status and power; differences in life-chances by social class, gender, ethnicity, age and disability’.
It is designed for teachers using the new AQA Sociology specification at KS5. Save significant amounts of money by buying these revision sessions in bundles!
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 [which are a great way to structure group discussions and practice exam planning technique].
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.
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
This session can be purchased individually or as part of various bundles depending on your needs.
Please note: the cover picture depicts some of the activities that make up this revision session, the wording within those tasks is adapted to the topic specified above and may differ from the wording depicted. Contents and tasks may vary slightly between revision sessions. The cover photo is, however, a fair depiction of the contents of the lesson.

Instantly create random philosophical debates for any KS3-5 classroom or tutor group. Created by a philosophy teacher with a masters in philosophy and designed to take students as deep as possible in as short a time as possible!
This is a 200 slide PPT, containing 198 philosophical debates, discussions, and dilemmas.
It also contains a ‘randomiser’ slide: when clicked a random moral problem is presented to the group.
For a FREE DEMO please search: ‘The Philosophical Debate Generator [Free Demo Version]’
Uses:
-P4C (Philosophy for kids)
-Form time activities
-R.S./Philosophy/Citizenship cover lessons
-Debating societies
-Making best use of spare time at the end of lessons
Discussions follow one of four formats, each asking students to move from one side of the room or the other to make their position clear: teachers should then use questioning to foster a debate between students, encouraging them to present reasons for their choice and defend their position.
The formats are:
-True or False
-Which Philosopher is more correct?
-Agree or Disagree?
-Which is more True?
This resource is great value at £4.99 and cannot be found elsewhere:
-It clearly contributes to your school’s SMSC provision
-Furthers students’ critical thinking skills
-It allows for countless hours of discussion and debate to be structured in a focussed and engaging manner.
-It would take days to reproduce yourself.
-It can save vast amounts of staff time in preparing cover lessons
-It is the perfect way to make the most of any time a teacher might have left at the end of a lesson.
-It deals with cross curricular issues
Please note: this resource deals with controversial issues, debates and questions that may be deemed unsuitable for younger children. It is designed for secondary school students, but can be easily adapted to younger years with appropriate amendments by their teacher.
The Philosophy Boxes Method is a new approach to P4C designed for students in KS1, 2 & 3: it is graphically stimulating, engaging, and fun. This download is also suitable for older students: but the format was designed with younger students in mind.
The topic of this Philosophy Boxes download is “Multiculturalism & Celebrating Other Cultures”.
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 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.
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 download includes a PowerPoint Show; if you would like an editable PPT presentation so that you can make your own ‘Philosophy Boxes’ presentation you will need to download the template here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-the-philosophy-boxes-method-template-for-creating-your-own-philosophy-boxes-lessons-p4c-p4k-11463227
A complete selection of Philosophy Boxes lessons can be found here: https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?&q=philosophy+boxes+godwin86
You can also save money by purchasing lessons as bundles.
This bundle contains 20 lessons for the ‘Crime & Deviance’ section of the new WJEC EDUQAS GCSE Sociology specification. This bundle was updated in March 2020 so that all of the PowerPoints are in the standard format and, consequently, more easy to edit than before.
This 20 lesson bundle was designed for the new WJEC EDUQAS specification (2017 onwards) - we have also released equivalent bundles for AQA Sociology which are available on TES.
It is designed to be a self-contained, comprehensive and complete resource: everything a teacher/department need to teach the Crime & Deviance section of the course.

This is a 200 slide PPT, containing 198 History related debates, discussions, and dilemmas.
It also contains a ‘randomiser’ slide: when clicked a random history debate is presented to the group.
Uses:
-Effortless planning of History lessons
-Form time activities
-History/Philosophy/Citizenship/Politics cover lessons
-Debating societies
-History P4C (Philosophy for kids) cross-curricular resource
-Making best use of spare time at the end of lessons
Discussions follow one of four formats, each asking students to move from one side of the room or the other to make their position clear: teachers should then use questioning to foster a debate between students, encouraging them to present reasons for their choice and defend their position.
The formats are:
-“Agree or disagree?”
-“Which time-portal do you take?” (with animated portal graphics, great for engagement)
-“Who do you save from the time travelling assassin?” (also very engaging and graphically impressive!)
-“Which statement is more true?”
There are roughly 50 of each slide.
This resource is great value at £4.99 and cannot be found elsewhere:
-It allows for countless hours of discussion and debate to be structured in a focussed and engaging manner.
-It would take days to reproduce yourself.
-It can save vast amounts of staff time in preparing cover lessons
-It is the perfect way to make the most of any time a teacher might have left at the end of a lesson.
-It clearly contributes to the Moral aspect of your school’s SMSC provision
-It deals with cross curricular issues
Please note: this resource deals with controversial issues, debates and questions that may be deemed unsuitable for younger children. It is designed for secondary school students, but can be easily adapted to younger years with appropriate amendments by their teacher.
This download is useful for any teachers who are hoping to foster critical thinking skills in KS2 or KS3 students.
This resource pack contains:
A double-sided A3 poster/table that identifies, describes and exemplifies 32 common logical fallacies
A 32 question ‘Logical Fallacy Quiz’ (with a teacher’s answer key)
An ‘analysing and evaluating philosophical arguments’ activity’
The A3 poster/table is an excellent resource in and of itself and can be used for other activities in the teaching of critical thinking skills.
The quiz is designed to be used alongside the table: students work in pairs or teams to identify examples of logical fallacies. There are 32 questions - which should be ample for a long lesson.
This activity can be differentiated by changing team sizes and/or shortening the quiz (allowing for more reflection time).
A smaller activity is also included: it introduces the idea of ‘philosophical arguments’, soundness, validity - and provides examples of simple philosophical arguments for young learners to analyse and evaluate.
This resource is designed with KS2 and KS3 students in mind.
This fully resourced lesson is professionally designed for the new AQA Sociology GCSE specification (8192). This resource can now be downloaded as a part of a complete 20-lesson bundle.

-A premium quality PowerPoint presentation (fully animated) that covers the entire lesson
-A4 Double-sided worksheet
-Homework
All lessons are designed around the new GCSE specification but are certainly useful for any GCSE Sociology specification. We take considerable time making the highest quality lessons, positive reviews are greatly appreciated (and rewarded, just email us!)
