This is the first lesson taught for the Aristotle unit for OCR A Level. The lesson reviews Aristotle’s criticisms of Plato’s Theory of the Forms and then compares Plato’s rationalism to Aristotle’s empiricism. The lesson does use a page from the OCR textbook for one of the tasks, but all of the textbook’s designed for the new specification (I have copies of them all) have a page/double page on this that could be used for this task. The lesson includes homework which introduces the Aristotle topic This would be suitable for other exam boards
