Applied Ethics (11 Lessons) AQA Philosophy ( 7171 ) (Simulated Killing, Meat, Lying & Stealing) AS

This resource is designed for the new AQA Philosophy Specification (7171) [AS-Level]

It covers the ‘Applied Ethics’ component of the course.

The course is structured as follows:
Lesson 1: General debates and discussions about the ethical issues listed in the specification
Lesson 2: Applying the normative theories to these issues (generally)
Lesson 3-6: Student led presentations (instructions and worksheets included)
Lesson 7: 'Ask the Experts’
Lesson 8: Debates & discussions about applying the normative theories to the ethical issues
Lesson 9: Formal Debates I
Lesson 10: Formal Debates II
Lesson 11: Essay planning masterclass

The download is a .zip file containing 8 PPTs and 10 worksheets (all editable) and an instructional guide outlining how the course should be delivered (a simple SoW/guide to the lessons). The .zip file maintains the order of the files so that very little preparation or planning is necessary.

The course is very much student-led; encouraging independent research skills and engagement with the issues.

It is designed to be used, ideally, after teaching of normative/meta-ethical theories has been completed so that students can apply their knowledge to the issues listed in the specification.

Presentation and resources have been designed to the highest level of professionalism. As always, I am taking requests for making new resources: just email me at godwin86@gmail.com and follow me to stay updated about further releases.
