godwin86godwin86

The Logical Fallacy Quiz (Logical Fallacies) Critical Thinking Pack (P4C - Philosophy) [KS2 / K23]

(0)
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.
Moral & Spiritual Development - PSHE [P4C Session] (PSHE, P4C, Ethics, Ethical) (PSE, SPHE, PSED)
godwin86godwin86

Moral & Spiritual Development - PSHE [P4C Session] (PSHE, P4C, Ethics, Ethical) (PSE, SPHE, PSED)

(4)
The topic of this Philosophy Boxes download is ‘Moral & Spiritual Development’. It is one of a series of PSHE-P4C sessions designed for KS2-4 PSHE students. The download comprises a P4C lesson/session that can be used multiple times with the same group. The Philosophy Boxes Method is a new approach to PSHE designed for students in KS2-4: 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. In this context: ‘Philosophy Boxes’ represents a more student-centred ‘debate & discussion’ approach to PSHE issues. The aim of our ‘Philosopy Boxes’ PSHE sessions is to bring deep, critical thinking to PSHE, exploring PSHE using P4C (Philosophy for Children) debates and discussions. One advantage to the method is that it helps students to practice their social skills through the activities. 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 (in 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. Choose from out complete selection of our ‘Philosophy Boxes’ PSHE lessons here. You can also save money by purchasing lessons as a complete 20-session collection here!

The Religious Studies Debate Generator (KS5, AS, A2, RS, RE, Religious Education)
godwin86godwin86

The Religious Studies Debate Generator (KS5, AS, A2, RS, RE, Religious Education)

(0)
This download contains an editable 50+ slide PowerPoint featuring debates for AS/A2 Religious Studies students. It also contains a ‘randomiser’ slide so that debate topics can be selected randomly. This tool focuses on Christian teachings and does not refer to a specific comparative religion (making it suitable for all KS5 RS teachers). Topics are based on the OCR specification and refer to all of the non-optional content: Philosophy of Religion Religion & Ethics Debates take an ‘agree or disagree’ format: students are asked to move from one side of the room to the other depending on their response to the statements that appear. This format allows teachers to foster debates and discussions between students, it can be helpful to ask students to justify their reasons and use sensible arguments. Questions you might ask include: “What is wrong with the other position in your view?”, “Why did you choose to stand where you’re standing?”, “Why do you think people disagree so much about this question?” It is best to encourage students to pick a side rather than float in the middle: but it can also be fun to allow students to change side as the debate progresses, so that students can try to persuade one another to move. This is a great resource to use at the end of lessons if you have a few minutes left, it can be used as an entire lesson or revision session. It’s a fun way to introduce a course or to use as an ice-breaker with new classes.
