This download contains an editable 50+ slide PowerPoint featuring the most important debates relevant to Business Studies GCSE students (using the new AQA specification). It also contains a ‘randomiser’ slide so that debate topics can be selected randomly.
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.
All topics are taken from the latest AQA Business Studies (8132) specification though this product is relevant to all teachers of the subject. A seperate debate generator has been created for the Economics (8136) specification: you can find it in our shop.
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 or revision session.

The debate format asks students to move from one side of the room or the other based on whether they think a member of the religious tradition should agree or disagree with the statement, it is also good practice to get students to move to express their opinion in response to the statement.
It is also good practice to ask students for ideas other than the ones on the slide they might connect, and update the slides accordingly.

An essential download for any AS/A2 Psychology teacher.
This resource contains 100 debates for A2 Psychology students (also useful for AS preparatory work). It also contains a 'randomiser' slide: when clicked a random sociological debate is presented to the group.
It refers to the issues mentioned in the AQA Psychology specification for the "Issues, debates and Approaches" section. It also refers to broader debates connected to psychology and mental health.
Debate slides ask 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.
Please note: this resource deals with controversial issues, debates and questions that may be deemed unsuitable for younger children. It is designed for secondary school students, but can be easily adapted to younger years with appropriate amendments by their teacher.
Uses include:
-AS/A2 Psychology Classes
-P4C (Philosophy for kids) sessions
-Debating societies
-Making best use of spare time at the end of lessons
-Easy cover lesson setting
-A perfect revision tool for many revision sessions
-Ability to incorporate the resource into essay planning activities (e.g. "You have five minutes to plan an essay on this debate in teams")
