It is one of over fifty new philosophy & ethics teaching resources that uses this format. The resource cannot be edited. This interactive, multi-use session is particularly valuable for teachers of Philosophy, Economics, and Business Studies. It covers a wide range of thought-provoking topics, including: The origins and purpose of money The ethical dimensions of wealth and poverty The role of businesses and individuals in shaping economies The balance between profit and social responsibility The philosophical question of what gives money value   The big question posed in this session is, “What is money!? (Why does ‘paper money’ have more value than paper?)” Students will also explore other essential philosophical and practical questions, such as: Is money the root of all evil? Should wealth be redistributed to reduce inequality? Can a person live a fulfilling life without money? What makes something valuable? Why are some people very rich while others are very poor?   Students will evaluate and discuss a variety of philosophical claims, such as: “All jobs should pay the same wage.” “Most people end up poor because they waste money on unnecessary luxuries” “Wealthy people have a responsibility to help the poor.” “It’s better to be happy and poor than rich and unhappy.” “It is absurd for a footballer to earn more money than a doctor”   This session uses our signature teaching format, featuring an integrated menu with options for starters, mains, plenaries, assessments, and end-of-lesson reflections. The file is provided as a non-editable PowerPoint Show, requiring no planning or preparation.

This printable workbook is suitable for homework, classwork or distance learning: it will help your students to get more from watching documentaries and videos. This colourful printable booklet includes ten learning sessions spread over twenty pages. You could also just print a couple of pages from this workbook to create a worksheet for an instant video-learning lesson: ideal for cover lessons! This teaching resource is designed for GCSE Business Studies and deals with a broad range of topics. The workbook is suitable for all exam specifications. The workbook includes links to ten different documentaries or lengthily videos and straight-forward note-taking and comprehension activities so as to structure and foster engagement with the documentary whilst enhancing student learning. The twenty-page workbook was designed with homework in mind and contains ten different homework sessions. I would suggest using the booklets as a simple way to take care of ‘every other homework’ and use it to supplement your other approaches to homework: just print the booklets out and give them to your students. You can also use the booklets just as well in a classroom setting and they are incredibly easy to use such that even a non-specialist cover-teacher could make use of them. They’re also an ideal way to bolster your distance learning provisions in times of student absence. Over time some of the links in this workbook may expire, I’ll try to update them from time to time but the workbook is easy to edit - so make sure you check that the links still work before printing and update any broken/defunct links that might crop-up! I’ve done my best to include links to the best videos available for this topic: teachers should ensure that the video links included are suitable for their specific classes. 51���� Adam Godwin (2020)
