Philosophy/RS Timeline Display (Over 100!)

(0)
Some of you may have my original Philosopher Timeline in your classrooms. Thank you for your support and I hope it’s been useful throughout that time. Ten years later I’m unveiling a brand new timeline display. After taking the time to reflect on the previous timeline, I’ve made some modifications in order to: Support cognitive load and reduce distraction by removing description text. Foster student interest through eye-catching, coherent and clear pictures. Improve representation across the board (fewer dead white men as a proportion). Refine and broaden the thinkers referenced in line with current RS/Philosophy qualifications. Thinkers now pop with a new art-style that is consistent, clear and memorable. Names and dates take centre-stage and unnecessary clutter is gone. The timeline is intrinsic to my practice and it’s referred to multiple times a lesson, from Y7 to Y13. Students repeatedly report how useful it is to be able to visually grasp the chronology and how this lowers cognitive load. There are now over 100 thinkers available each with an optional quote bubble. I’m also more than happy to create additions as you request them, if your particular course requires someone who is missing. I’ve taught both the OCR Religious Studies and, more recently, the AQA Philosophy A-Level course and I’ve combined both sets of thinkers here along with others who might be useful at GCSE and KS3. I recommend they are printed at A4 on ‘actual size’ print setting. I’ve laminated mine and then cut to the edge with a guillotine. The base pack includes: A J Ayer Alasdair MacIntyre Alister McGrath Alvin Plantinga Angela Davis Anselm Anthony Flew Aristotle Augustine Ayn Rand Basil Mitchell Bernard Williams Bertrand Russell Boethius C L Stevenson Carl Jung Charles Darwin Copernicus Daniel Dennett Daphne Hampson David Chalmers David Hume Dietrich Bonhoeffer Edmund Gettier Elizabeth Anscombe Emil Brunner Ernest Sosa Frank Jackson Fredrick Copleston Friedrich Nietzsche G E Moore Gandhi George Berkeley Germaine Greer Gilbert Ryle Gottfried Leibniz Greta Thunberg Guru Nanak Gustavo Gutierrez Hannah Arendt Harriet Mill Henry Sidgwick Heraclitus Immanuel Kant Irenaeus Iris Murdoch Jean-Paul Sartre Jesus Jeremy Bentham Jo Marchant John Calvin John Hick John Locke John Mackie John Stuart Mill Joseph Fletcher Julia Annas Julia Galef Karl Barth Karl Marx Karl Popper Karl Rahner Kieth Ward Lewis Carroll Linda Zagzebski Ludwig Wittgenstein Martha Nussbaum Martin Luther Martin Luther King Jr Mary Daly Mary Warnock Noam Chomsky Norman Malcolm Paul Pelagius Peter Geach Peter Singer Philippa Foot Plato Rene Descartes Richard Dawkins Richard Hare Richard Swinburne Robert Nozick Rosalind Hursthouse Rosemary Ruether Siddharta Gautama Sigmund Freud Simone De Beauvoir Soren Kierkegaard Steven Law Teresa of Avila Thomas Aquinas Thomas Hobbes Thomas Nagel Vandana Shiva W E B Du Bois William James William Paley

The formats are: -“Which is more moral?” (students chose between two options) -“Agree or disagree?” (where students respond to a presented statement about morality of a moral issue) -“Who do you save?” (where students need to save one of two people/options, and justify the morality of their decision) -“Moral or immoral?” (where students cast their judgement on a given action, event or person.
