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.
A complete selection of Philosophy Boxes lessons can be found here: https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?&q=philosophy+boxes+godwin86

About the full version:
This is a 200 slide PPT, containing 198 philosophical debates, discussions, and dilemmas.

-Making best use of spare time at the end of lessons
Discussions follow one of four formats, each asking 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.
The formats are:
-Is the statement TRUE of FALSE?
-Whose side do you take?
-Agree or Disagree?
-Which statement is more true?
This resource is great value at £4.99 and cannot be found elsewhere:
