-All debates linked to moral issues from the exam board specifications (specifically, OCR/AQA specs, 2016/7 onwards)

It is ideal for:

-Teaching students to apply general moral principles from the religious tradition to different moral issues.
-Practising exam technique: most of the debate prompts are potential 12/15 mark questions.
-End of lesson activities

The debate format asks students to move from one side of the room or the other based on whether they think a member of the religious tradition should agree or disagree with the statement, it is also good practice to get students to move to express their opinion in response to the statement.

It is also good practice to ask students for ideas other than the ones on the slide they might connect, and update the slides accordingly.
