A lesson looking at Aristotle's function argument and eudaimonia

Based around the question 'What is Philosophy and Ethics?', this display looks at RE/ Philosophy &amp; Ethics from different viewpoints: politics, maths, history, writing, science etc to show why RE/ Philosophy &amp; Ethics is important today!

AQA syllabus Religious Studies for Philosophy and Ethics. An A-level lesson introducing the concept of philosophy with a particular focus on exploring meta-ethics. There is an outline of the major branches of philosophy introduced through video clips from popular Hollywood films to allow students to connect with the quite abstract nature of philosophical inquiry; meta-physics, epistemology, meta-ethics, philosophy of religion, philosophy of mind, philosophy of language and ethics. If watching all clips and allowing for discussion of student understanding, this can last a full 60 minute lesson, This is followed by a peer-teach style lesson on meta-ethics, where peer-teachers are chosen from among the students (I usually choose high ability) and the rest of the class carousel between them to gather information. This is followed by a reflection using De Bono's Hats. The meta-ethics element of the lesson can also be stretched to last 60 minutes, making this cover 2 sessions. This lesson always divides the class into those inspired and those who feel their brain has been squashed - I love teaching it.

<p><em>3 ESSAY PLANS INCLUDED IN THIS BUNDLE</em><br /> These essay plans helped me get an A* overall in OCR Philosophy &amp; Ethics (Full Marks on ethics paper).<br /> Essay plans discussing the complexities surrounding Death &amp; Afterlife. The essay plans have a particular focus on AO1, so that students are able to learn this topics content whilst acknowledging how they are going to categorise this information in an essay. This produces essays that contain the most relevant and well-organised information. These essay plans specifically target the knowledge that ‘learners should know’ as said on the specification.<br /> These essay plans are VERY detailed. This is because I designed my essay plans so that they can be used without the aid of revision notes, in isolation. All the extra detail you need on the topics have been included in the essay plans.</p>
