This download is for a customisable PowerPoint file that allows you to make your own ‘Philosophy Boxes’ lessons.
Individual ‘Philosophy Boxes’ lessons are sold as PowerPoint Shows and cannot be edited. This download, however, allows you to customise the content to suit your own lessons.
The format/method is copyrighted by the original author (Adam Godwin, 2017) so resources you create are strictly NOT for re-sale.
The aim of Philosophy Boxes is to bring philosophy 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.

19 x PSHE Sessions - Master Pack [Make your own PHILOSOPHY BOXES sessions!]
The download comprises 19 X PSHE lessons/sessions that can be used multiple times with the same group. It also contains the editable template that allows you to make your own PHILOSOPHY BOXES sessions. The method uses a selection of debate and discussion activities to explore PSHE issues for KS2 and KS3 students. This download is designed to be a significant component of any primary school's PSHE provision. The Philosophy Boxes Method is a new approach to P4C designed for students in KS2 & 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. In this context: 'Philosophy Boxes' represents a more student-centred 'debate & discussion' approach to PSHE issues. 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 .**Check-out some of our most popular resources on TES!** **GCSE Religious Studies** * [Buddhism (20 Lesson Unit)](https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gcse-buddhism-ocr-b-aqa-20-lessons-very-high-quality-complete-resources-lesson-plans-worksheets-presentations-11410236) * [Buddhism (Thematic Studies Units)](https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?q=godwin86%20%22gcse%20buddhism%22%20lessons&featured=bundles) * [Christianity (Thematic Studies Units)](https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?q=godwin86%20Christianity%20lessons%20GCSE&featured=bundles) * [Hinduism (20 Lesson Unit)](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 (Thematic Studies Units)](https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?authorId=2540411&q=hinduism%20lessons&shop=godwin86&featured=bundles) * [ Islam (Thematic Studies Units)](https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?q=godwin86%20gcse%20islam%20lessons&featured=bundles) . **GCSE Sociology Resources** * [Complete Units (Whole Course)](https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?q=godwin86%20gcse%20sociology%20lessons&featured=bundles) . . **AS/A2 Revision Sessions** * [OCR Religious Studies](https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?q=godwin86%20revision%20sessions%20ocr&featured=bundles) * [AQA Philosophy](https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?q=godwin86%20revision%20sessions%20%22aqa%20philosophy%22&featured=bundles) * [AQA Sociology](https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?q=godwin86%20revision%20sessions%20aqa%20sociology&featured=bundles) . **Philosophy for Children (P4C)** * [The Ultimate P4C Resource Pack](https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/the-ultimate-p4c-resource-pack-philosophy-for-children-11586087) * [The Debating Society Toolkit](https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/the-debating-society-toolkit-11591038) * [Philosophy Boxes](https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?q=godwin86%20philosophy%20boxes&featured=bundles) . . **Other Tools** * [A3 DIRT Worksheet (15+ 5-star ratings!)](https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/dirt-worksheet-a3-double-sided-11606218) * [KS3 RE Units](https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/ks3-philosophy-and-religion-6-whole-learning-units-with-many-additional-tools-and-resources-11387020)

Thanks for this, it was useful to include this in the wider pack we bought: using this it takes me about 10 minutes to make an easy-to-use session on any topic!
Great approach! Thanks :)
I'd downloaded some of the other Philosophy Boxes PPTs and really wanted to make my own: this one allows me to do so and we're using this method across the school. It's nice to see a new approach to teaching, thanks for sharing this great idea!
