This resource is designed to make the creation of PPT presentations/lessons very quick and easy and includes: -Introduction slides -Learning Activities -Plenary Tasks -MAF There are over 100 slides. In terms of design: slides may feature timers, animations, and stimulating graphics. I have always been a bit of a perfectionist in my design and hope it comes across in the slides. Thanks in advance for supporting my work: I hope it saves you a lot of time!

This download is for a differentiated ICT Suite lesson worksheet/instructional template with complete session instructions (PowerPoint). It includes a PPT file with instructions for students and 3 AfL slides to test learning as well as a double-sided customisable worksheet with integrated peer-assessment. It is a tried and tested method: I have used it in Sociology, RE, Philosophy & Citizenship classes. This resource can be customised for any subject and virtually any topic. It is suitable for any age, assuming they have basic PPT/Prezi and internet research skills. Teachers simply need to enter topics/rubrics for students to research and present on: separating them into the 'basic', 'medium' and 'advanced' differentiation categories. 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.

The quiz is a simple test that looks for indicators of religious extremism and exposure to Wahhabist Islam (the branch that has become associated with terrorism). If you fear individuals in your school may have issues in relation to religious extremism, this is the test for you. It should NOT be used as a whole school test: this would risk inflaming islamophobia in your school. It should be used with individual students with the utmost discretion and privacy, and only where previous evidence deems suspicion reasonable and rational. The ideal person to administer this test is the school counsellor or someone in a position of trust in relation to the individual student. The questionnaire is a tool for exploring basic attitudes to Britain, Western values, religious tolerance, and extremist attitudes. The odd numbers are all positive indicators, the even numbers are negative indicators ; you should be able to create a total score for a given student if you wish to create data using this test. Ideally, once the test is complete, a teaching professional or counsellor can discuss the students answers and clarify their meaning. Professionals are advised to handle this matter with the utmost delicacy.

Created by a Philosophy teacher and experienced formal debater in collaboration with his colleagues in the Maths department. This PPT file contains 100 debates and discussion relevant to the study of mathematics and, especially, ‘The Philosophy of Mathematics’ (allowing teachers to bring P4C [philosophy for children] into the Maths classroom). The presentation is complete with exciting animated graphics to foster engagement! The file contains a randomiser slide, allowing a random debate topic to be generated. Each debate slide asks students to move from one side of the room or the other to make their position clear: teachers should then use questioning to foster a debate between students, encouraging them to present reasons for their choice and defend their position. Uses: -Effortless planning of Maths lessons -Instant cover lessons -Debating societies -Maths P4C (Philosophy for children) cross-curricular resource -Making best use of spare time at the end of lessons -Form time activities -Developing speaking and communication skills -SMSC (deals with some moral and spiritual issues in relation to maths) Topics are generally accessible to all ages, but the product is designed with KS3-5 in mind. Thank you for taking the time to look at this product: if you are interested in other debate generating products I have also made similar products relating to Philosophy, Moral Dilemmas, and History.
