Generate instant ethical debates!
This is a 200 slide PPT, containing 198 moral/ethical debates, discussions, and dilemmas.
It also contains a ârandomiserâ slide: when clicked a random moral problem is presented to the group.
Uses:
-P4C (Philosophy for kids)
-Form time activities
-R.S./Philosophy/Citizenship cover lessons
-Debating societies
-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:
-âWhich is more moral?â (students chose between two options)
-âAgree or disagree?â (where students respond to a presented statement about morality of a moral issue)
-âWho do you save?â (where students need to save one of two people/options, and justify the morality of their decision)
-âMoral or immoral?â (where students cast their judgement on a given action, event or person.
This resource is great value at ÂŁ4.99 and cannot be found elsewhere:
-It clearly contributes to the Moral aspect of your schoolâs SMSC provision
-It allows for countless hours of discussion and debate to be structured in a focussed and engaging manner.
-It would take days to reproduce yourself.
-It can save vast amounts of staff time in preparing cover lessons
-It is the perfect way to make the most of any time a teacher might have left at the end of a lesson.
-It deals with cross curricular issues
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.
This bundle contains 18 revision sessions. The content covered by the sessions is the complete KS5 'Philosophy of Religion' and 'Religion & Ethics' material for both AS and A2 level under the new OCR specification.
Bundles for specific religions you may be covering can be purchased separately. This download is relevant to all KS5 Religious Studies teachers using the OCR specification as it deals with the philosophy and ethics components of the course.
The sessions use a variety of mind-mapping, discussion and debate tasks to cover the designated section of the specification.
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
-Sandwiched between lessons as they are taught throughout the year as a way of solidifying and assessing learning
-During extra-curricular time (KS5 Religious Studies Clubs)
This revision session features:
-A 'grid of learning' post-it task (to focus students on the day's topic and refresh their memories of the basics)
-A 'competitive mind-mapping task (which can be completed on the whiteboard or on A3 paper)
-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 'One thing I am still uncertain about...' post-it question.
This session can be purchased individually or as part of various bundles depending on your needs.
Please note: the cover picture depicts some of the activities that make up this revision session, the wording within those tasks is adapted to the topic specified above and may differ from the wording depicted. Contents and tasks may vary slightly between revision sessions. The cover photo is, however, a fair depiction of the contents of the lesson.

This bundle contains 20 GCSE Sociology assessments in the form of practice exam sections. It is designed for the latest AQA specification.
Each of the 20 exam sections is half a full exam and takes 50 minutes for students to complete. Each of the 20 exam sections contain a standard set of questions including two 12-mark rubrics: a model answer for one of them is included for each assessment. Each of the 20 exam sections is accompanied by a mark-scheme.
In short, in this bundle you get 20 exam sections, 20 mark-schemes, and 20 model 12-mark answers.
This bundle should take care of most (if not all) of your GCSE Sociology assessment needs: students should ideally complete these 20 assessments over the 2-year course; data-collection of results allows for easy progress tracking. You may prefer to use them in the run-up to formal public exams: they are ideal for this also!
There are five assessments for each of the four main topics: Crime & Deviance, Education, Family & Social Stratification.
BONUS RESOURCES:
Assessment Feedback Worksheets x2 (A4)
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 specimen material already provided. The papers follow the official AQA format and look like official papers. All items are editable: if you think the 12-mark model-answers are too intimidating, feel free to reduce them.
