Applied Ethics & Moral Issues in the Modern World: Philosophy Lesson for Students Aged 8-16 [P4C]
godwin86godwin86

Applied Ethics & Moral Issues in the Modern World: Philosophy Lesson for Students Aged 8-16 [P4C]

(0)
This thought-provoking philosophy teaching resource focuses on applied ethics and explores some of the most important moral issues of our time. Applied ethics refers to the practical application of moral considerations. It is ethics with respect to real-world actions and their moral considerations in the areas of private and public life, the professions, health, technology, law, and leadership. (Disclaimer: this session does not discuss abortion or matters relating to sexual ethics, reproductive ethics and/or relationship ethics (which will be covered in separate sessions). We have tried to create a resource that allows young learners to explore applied ethics in an age-appropriate fashion; nonetheless, the session explores controversial issues and should be thoroughly vetted by individual teachers before using it with their students to check that it is suitable for their classes.) This session is ideal for teachers who want to explore moral decision making with students and is of particular value to teachers who want to nurture the moral development of their students (perhaps in an SMSC or PSHE context) and trigger deeper reflections on the fundamental nature of ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ and how we can apply these reflections to our own lives; we’ve carefully selected the most significant moral issues and ethical challenges of our age so that young learners can engage in fun philosophical discussions and debates. This session explores topics such as: The rights of animals Moral challenges presented by new technologies Moral and immoral uses of the internet Ethical & unethical career choices Medical ethics and moral challenges presented medical technologies Artificial Intelligence The big question asked in this session is “What is the most important moral issue in the world right now?”. Using a variety of engaging activities students will discuss and debate a wide range of other philosophical questions such as: To what extent is testing new cosmetics and medicines on animals morally acceptable? To what extent it is morally preferable to use drone weaponry on the battlefield over human beings? What are our moral duties and obligations to future generations? When, if ever, is taking a human life the most moral course of action? This resource is suitable for students aged 8-16; due to the flexible nature of the sessions design it can be used for multiple hour-long sessions or as a short stimulating tutor-group activity. The file is a PowerPoint Show: no planning or preparation is required, just run the file and the intuitive menu system will make delivering a powerful philosophy session very easy!

[Data on Crime, Dark Figure of Crime] >ICT Suite Lesson< (or home work task) AQA Sociology GCSE 2017

(0)
This download is for a complete ICT-Suite Lesson for GCSE Sociology teachers using the new AQA specification (2017 onwards). The download features: -A double-sided A4 worksheet -A PPT with instructions and AfL Students will need access to computers which have presentation design software installed (e.g. PowerPoint, Prezi etc) It can also be set as a homework task for students to complete at home. Because the worksheet allows students to select from various topics, organised in terms of their difficulty, it is a clearly differentiated resource; it also features integrated peer assessment with clear assessment criteria. It asks students to create presentation with quiz questions and lists differentiated options for them to choose from. The reverse of the A4 sheet features peer-assessment tables for students to rate one another’s work according to specified criteria. The lesson should, ideally, use 40 minutes for students to create the presentation in pairs and then 20 minutes to quiz and peer assess one another. The worksheet is easily customisable to other topics. For our other GCSE Sociology Resources please use this link: https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?&amp;q=godwin86+gcse+sociology
British Values [Philosophy Boxes] (P4C) KS1-3 Philosophy - Debates & Discussions - Critical Thinking
godwin86godwin86

British Values [Philosophy Boxes] (P4C) KS1-3 Philosophy - Debates & Discussions - Critical Thinking

(3)
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. The topic of this Philosophy Boxes download is “British Values”. 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/?&amp;q=philosophy+boxes+godwin86 You can also save money by purchasing lessons as bundles.

The Philosophy Boxes Method is a new approach to PSHE designed for students in KS2-4: 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 our 'Philosopy Boxes' PSHE sessions is to bring deep, critical thinking to PSHE, exploring PSHE using P4C (Philosophy for Children) debates and discussions. One advantage to the method is that it helps students to practice their social skills through the activities. 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 (in 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.
