Humanism - Maslow's hierarchy of needs

This pack includes an A3 printable resource - which are great laminated! Can be used with dry erase pens or the tiles included .

The image is a final resource, the tiles can be used as they are in the file, added to or changed as you see fit.

The A4 worksheet is great for individual work - to be filled in with either Maslow’s hierarchy for later revision purposes in students notes/files, or used as a task for the student to think about what their own hierarchy would be. This promotes thought about the concept of Humanism. (A powerpoint lesson to accompany this will be up in the next few days and available separately or as part of a pack).

This task allows students to think about Maslow’s ideas of what the hierarchy looks like and what their own would look like, and how the impact of simple things such as food and shelter do have an impact on our goals and what we can achieve. When used alongside a scenario as in the powerpoint this can be a powerful tool to promote discussion and deeper thought about the topic of humanism.

This download also includes a Humanism handout giving an overview of the approach with evaluation points.

The printable section has the tiles which you can add to or remove from, and includes some blank squares which are great to use if students want to add their own ideas in there to. Which can be added as an extension task. You can also add the tiles with the layer names on as an extension and discuss whether these might move if they re-arranged the tiles for themselves.

Its a nice task, to look at how Maslow suggests it should look and then getting students to re-arrange it for what they think it might look like for them.
