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 presentation is: “Ethics & Morality”. 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.

I went through all my old resources to find relevant files for the ‘Relationships & Family’ theme of new specification and compiled them into this 40+ file bundle. Resources focus on Christianity but I will be making new resources for Buddhism soon. Lessons include: Weddings Divorce Homosexuality & Civil Partnership Sec & Contraception There is also a file with many ‘odds and ends’ that can be used for this section of the new AQA specification. Update: 2018 Please note that I have now released updated resource packs for the ‘Thematic Studies’ component of the GCSE course. These can be found be clicking here. They are considerably higher quality, better value and generally superior to these older files in every way so have a look!

This is one of a series of lessons designed for AQA GCSE Hinduism, though it is also suitable for KS3 students studying Hindu festivals. The download contains two lesson options: 1) A video and documentary based approach based around a (rather beautiful, if I do say so myself) A3 Worksheet. [Includes PPT, Worksheet and Lesson Plan] 2) An ICT Suite 'Research, Present & Quiz' approach, which includes integrated peer-assessment. [Includes PPT and Worksheet, Lesson Plan not necessary as it's such a straightforward approach]. The focus of this lesson is the Hindu festival specified in the title, similar lessons can be downloaded for different Hindu festivals.
