<p>This bundle is for a collection of ‘Philosophy Boxes’ lessons/sessions. This bundle was compiled as an introductory bundle that deals with central subjects.</p> <p>Each session comprises a P4C lesson/session that can be used 2-3 times with the same group.</p> <p>The topics included in this bundle are:<br /> -The Value of Reading, Literacy &amp; Literature<br /> -The Philosophy of Maths &amp; Numeracy<br /> -Philosophy, Ethics &amp; Computers</p> <p>The Philosophy Boxes Method is a new approach to P4C designed for students in KS1, 2 &amp; 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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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].</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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: <a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-the-philosophy-boxes-method-template-for-creating-your-own-philosophy-boxes-lessons-p4c-p4k-11463227">https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-the-philosophy-boxes-method-template-for-creating-your-own-philosophy-boxes-lessons-p4c-p4k-11463227</a></p> <p>A complete selection of Philosophy Boxes lessons can be found here: <a href="https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?&amp;q=philosophy+boxes+godwin86">https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?&amp;q=philosophy+boxes+godwin86</a></p> <p>Other bundles of ‘Philosophy Boxes’ lessons exist, depending on your need.</p> <p>.<br /> <strong>Check-out some of our most popular resources on TES!</strong></p> <p><strong>GCSE Religious Studies</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gcse-buddhism-ocr-b-aqa-20-lessons-very-high-quality-complete-resources-lesson-plans-worksheets-presentations-11410236">Buddhism (20 Lesson Unit)</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?q=godwin86%20%22gcse%20buddhism%22%20lessons&amp;featured=bundles">Buddhism (Thematic Studies Units)</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?q=godwin86%20Christianity%20lessons%20GCSE&amp;featured=bundles">Christianity (Thematic Studies Units)</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gcse-hinduism-ocr-b-aqa-20-lessons-very-high-quality-complete-resources-lesson-plans-worksheets-presentations-complete-course-whole-unit-new-specification-11518558">Hinduism (20 Lesson Unit)</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?authorId=2540411&amp;q=hinduism%20lessons&amp;shop=godwin86&amp;featured=bundles">Hinduism (Thematic Studies Units)</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?q=godwin86%20gcse%20islam%20lessons&amp;featured=bundles"> Islam (Thematic Studies Units)</a></li> </ul> <p>.</p> <p>.   <br /> <strong>GCSE Sociology Resources</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?q=godwin86%20gcse%20sociology%20lessons&amp;featured=bundles">Complete Units (Whole Course)</a></li> </ul> <p>.</p> <p>. <br /> <strong>AS/A2 Revision Sessions</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?q=godwin86%20revision%20sessions%20ocr&amp;featured=bundles">OCR Religious Studies</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?q=godwin86%20revision%20sessions%20%22aqa%20philosophy%22&amp;featured=bundles">AQA Philosophy</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?q=godwin86%20revision%20sessions%20aqa%20sociology&amp;featured=bundles">AQA Sociology</a></li> </ul> <p>. <br /> <strong>Philosophy for Children (P4C)</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/the-ultimate-p4c-resource-pack-philosophy-for-children-11586087">The Ultimate P4C Resource Pack</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/the-debating-society-toolkit-11591038">The Debating Society Toolkit</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?q=godwin86%20philosophy%20boxes&amp;featured=bundles">Philosophy Boxes</a></li> </ul> <p>.<br /> .<br /> .<br /> <strong>Other Tools</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/dirt-worksheet-a3-double-sided-11606218">A3 DIRT Worksheet (15+ 5-star ratings!)</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/ks3-philosophy-and-religion-6-whole-learning-units-with-many-additional-tools-and-resources-11387020">KS3 RE Units</a></li> </ul>
