The DIRT Worksheets are suitable for any KS4 or KS5 class. They are focussed on student-reflection, target-setting , progress checking, and creating student-teacher dialogue. They are all Christmas themed to help with tone and engagement.

Not for re-distribution.
This download contains practice assessment materials for AQA GCSE Sociology (Crime & Deviance).
It contains 5 exam sections, 5 mark-schemes, and 5 model 12-mark answers.
An âexam sectionâ is half of a full-exam: students should complete it in 50 minutes, making these ideal for assessment lessons.
This download covers the topic of âCrime & Devianceâ - you can save money buy buying assessment materials for all four-sections here.
Complete units for GCSE Sociology can be downloaded here.
Please note:
These are not official exam scripts, I do not work for AQA: I have aimed to make reasonable practice exam-questions based on the specimin material already provided. All items are editable: if you think the 12-mark model-answers are too intimidating, feel free to reduce them.
51șÚÁÏ Adam Godwin (2018) - strictly not for re-distribution.
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 download is âEnvironmental Ethics & Caring for The Environmentâ.
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 âmystery boxesâ, 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.
The nature of the design is that it 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.
The download includes a PowerPoint Show; if you would like an editable PPT presentation so that you can make your own âPhilosophy Boxesâ presentation you will need to download the template here: /teaching-resource/-the-philosophy-boxes-method-template-for-creating-your-own-philosophy-boxes-lessons-p4c-p4k-11463227
A complete selection of Philosophy Boxes lessons can be found here: /resources/search/?&q=philosophy+boxes+godwin86

-A silent debate task (with 6 x A3 silent debate worksheets in an editable .doc file) [nb. allowing group conversation, instead of silence, is also an effective approach]
-Debates that ask students to move from one side of the room or the other and verbalise a defence of their position in response to a statement or rubric.
-A concluding âOne thing I am still uncertain aboutâŠâ post-it question.
The revision sessions can be used in a number of ways:
-As revision sessions during a revision period of term-time leading up to exams

This session can be purchased individually or as part of various bundles depending on your needs.
