This is a double lesson (2 hours) on organ donation that is delivered to Year 9. The first lesson looks at the process of organ donation in England, addressing common misconceptions and looking at the law and whether this is right or wrong. Lesson 1 culminates in a research task on the NHS England website and a discussion about the opt out system. This lesson relates to a SOW on Humanism and so whilst developing their own views on this topic, they compare them with the Humanist perspective. All resources/links are supplied. Lesson 2 puts them into a situation where they have to decide where organs will be donated. They have 3 organs and 6 patients with varying circumstances. Pupils need to justify their views on who gets the organs and why. This develops their evaluative skills and leads to a debate task at the end of the lesson to draw it all together.
