This PowerPoint included 101 debate prompts. It also contains a ‘randomiser’ slide so that debate topics can be selected randomly. Each prompt is designed to trigger reflection on a metacognition or learning-power issue, examples include:
“A health body leads to a healthy mind”
“It is possible to know too much” and
“Everyone is born with an equal capacity for success in school.”
Debates take an ‘agree or disagree’ format: students are asked to move from one side of the room to the other depending on their response to the statements that appear.
This format allows teachers to foster debates and discussions between students, it can be helpful to ask students to justify their reasons and use sensible arguments. Questions you might ask include:
“What is wrong with the other position in your view?”,
“Why did you choose to stand where you’re standing?”,
“Why do you think people disagree so much about this question?”
It is best to encourage students to pick a side rather than float in the middle: but it can also be fun to allow students to change side as the debate progresses, so that students can try to persuade one another to move.
This is a great resource to use at the end of lessons if you have a few minutes left, it can be used as an entire lesson.
Thank you for looking at our resources!
This resource uses A3 Debate Worksheets to foster discussions about learning and metacognition amongst small groups of students. The intention is that students are in groups of 3-5 and that the debate worksheets circulate around the room, with groups rotating the worksheets every five minutes, so that different groups can discuss them and add ideas.
It covers five topics, each contains eleven debate worksheets. Each topic comprises a learning session, though the resources can be used as shorter learning activities. The five topics discussed are:
Thinking Deeply About The Value of Education
Thinking Deeply About Thought
Thinking Deeply About Memory
Thinking Deeply About Concentration
Thinking Deeply About Independent Learning
A short instructional PowerPoint is also included so as to guide the learning sessions.
We offer a range of whole-school metacognition resources that aim to enhance metacognitive skills and strategies in students aged 11-16. You can download individual resources or buy our ‘Whole School Metacognition Toolkits’ that make establishing a whole-school metacognition initiative easy.

Metacognition and philosophy go hand-in-hand because metacognition involves thinking deeply about the nature of thought, learning, knowledge & the mind. For this reason we have put together a comprehensive whole-school philosophy resource whose sole purpose is to make students think deeply about life.
This product comprises twenty philosophical debate and discussion sessions, the following topics are covered:
Animal Rights & Caring for Animals
Art & The Nature of Beauty
Big Issues in Politics
British Values
Caring For The Environment
Celebrating Other Cultures & Religions
Christian Philosophy & Ethics
Citizenship
Computers, Robots & Artificial Intelligence
Epistemology
Ethics & Morality
Friendship, Exclusion & Bullying
Literacy, Reading & The Value of Literature
Metaphysics & The Nature of Reality
Moral & Spiritual Development
Space, Aliens & The Universe
The Biggest Questions in Philosophy
The Philosophy of History
The Philosophy of Maths
“Who Am I?” & The Philosophy of Identity
We hope this collection covers all of the bases in relation to the main fields and central debates of philosophy.
Each session features a variety of debate and discussion prompts. 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: each uses 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 plenary/assessments slides to choose from: an integrated menu means teachers can switch to and from AfL tasks easily and at any time. 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 makes these sessions highly flexible: each PowerPoint file 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. Most sessions can be used multiple times.
This is an ideal resource to bring P4C (Philosophy for Children) into your school: the range of topics means there’s ‘something for every one’ and that the cross-curricular connections are very broad.
We hold that engaging students in philosophical discussion, debates and thinking is one of the best ways to enhance their critical-thinking skills and Higher-Order Thinking Skills: the metacogntive benefits of philosophy in schools should not be underestimated!
This substantial resource has two main components:
A set of 10 video-learning sessions, each with its own specific worksheet
A seperate set of 10 double-sided video-learning worksheets that can be used with any videos and documentaries in all school subjects.
The first component covers the following topics, all of which relate to metacognition and learning-power:
Introduction to Metacognition
Building Memory Palaces
How to Improve Concentration
Mind-Mapping & Effective Note-Taking
How to Improve Memory
Revision Tips, Tricks & Strategies
Increasing Motivation & Energy
Critical Thinking & Higher-Order Thought
Boosting Learning Power (Video-Learning Session)
How Emotions Can Impact Learning
Each one comprises a full learning-session that can last 40-60 minutes and contains integrated assessments and plenaries. The sessions contain links to YouTube videos: this means that an active internet connection is required for teachers to use these videos in their class.
The second component of this product, the set of video-learning worksheets, allows teachers to enhance learning when students are engaging with video or documentary materials: it is a useful resource for teachers to have access to and will improve student engagement, reduce “coasting”,encouraging the creation of useful notes, and help students to organise the information they encounter.
*Please note: from time to time video-links will break, please contact us if this occurs and we will fix the links immediately. The format means you can easily substitute videos yourself if you happen to know of superior ones. *

An important aspect of metacognition concerns the student’s understanding of motivation, after all: metacognition is the personal study of one’s thought and learning-processes and student motivation towards a given subject is influenced by their thoughts and attitudes towards it.
One of the surest ways to increase motivation is by providing a clear understanding of the reasons, benefits and advantages that come with studying particular subjects.
This download contains over thirty PowerPoints presentations: one for each school subject. The purpose of the presentations is to lead discussions and debates about the value of each subject. Each session contains:
A Starter
Discussion Prompts
Video Links
A Writing-Based Assessment Task
Plenaries/AfL
Debate Prompts
The general strategy of the sessions is to get students to:
Explore the personal significance of the selected subject
Understand why the subject is taught
Identify the importance of the subject: how it benefits the student and wider community
Determine potential connections to their career ambitions
Each session follows the same format so it’s probably best not to use them all at once with students within a short time-frame! They are, nonetheless, a great resource to have available to your teachers so that they can be used as interventions for individuals or groups that are struggling with motivation in a given subject.
The preview images show the general approach each session follows, using the ‘English Literature’ session as an example.

These mini-worksheets, to be used at the very end of lessons, encourage efficient student reflection on metacognition and what factors have impacted their learning in that session. This download contains ten different designs!
The aims of these five-minute reflection sheets include:
Evaluation of metacognitive power levels and how they impacted learning in the lessons
Identification of metacognitive skills used in the lesson
Self-monitoring and evaluation
Reflection on how life-style is impacting work
They are designed to be printed 4 per A4 page (and then cut/guillotined) so that students are given a 1/4 page worksheet, which is then stapled or glued into their exercise book. Students should complete these mini-worksheets as a form of DIRT (Dedicated Improvement Reflection Time) as the final activity of a learning-session or lesson. They are very quick: taking less than 5 minutes to distribute, complete and glue in.
It is advised that these are printed and guillotined in bulk: saving time and allowing them to use them repeatedly throughout the term. By cycling through all of them, it allows for varied metacognitive reflection to take place at the end of each lesson.
This product alone is a great way to bring metacognition into your school or class-room: there are a number of ways they can be deployed across the school so that students are given a good variety of reflection tasks on a regular basis - creating a culture of metacognitive reflection.
Notes on Printing: we have included ‘Print Ready’ .pdf format files along with the original .doc (Word) ones. When printing from Word, be sure to select ‘4 Pages Per Sheet’. Print one-sided, preferably in colour.

This products features 101 metacognitive ‘thunks’: mind-expanding philosophical questions to make students think. It also includes a randomisation feature that allows you to generate seemingly random statements that the students cannot anticipate!
Unlike other thunk or philosophical debate generators: this resource is focused entirely on matters pertaining to metacognition and learning. Example questions include:
“What is a thought made of?”
“What does the word ‘intelligent’ really mean?” and
“What is the difference between knowledge and belief?”
A highly flexible tool that allows students to practice their philosophical, critical-thinking, discussion and debating skills: teachers can experiment using different discussion formats as they see fit and practice their own questioning skills in the process. It’s a fully editable PowerPoint file so you can add your own questions to!
A very simple way to bring metacognition to your school and develop your school or class’s Higher-Order Thinking skills!

Philosophy for kids!
The Philosophy Boxes Method is a new approach to P4C designed for students in KS1, 2 & 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 presentation is: “Epistemology & The Nature of Knowledge”
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.
