• The nature of Brahman as both all-pervading and within the heart of an individual (antaryami/antharyami)
• Brahman as the supreme person (Bhagvan, or Ishvara) living in a spiritual realm
• The significance of different ways of understanding Brahman and how this relates to other concepts, including liberation (moksha)
• Common and divergent emphases placed on features of the divine by different Hindu groups, including the importance of the relationship to a personal deity

Philosophy for Children!
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 ‘The Biggest Questions in Philosophy’
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 ‘mystery boxes’, 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 ‘Philosophy Boxes’ 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

This is a 200 slide PPT, containing 198 History related debates, discussions, and dilemmas.
It also contains a ‘randomiser’ slide: when clicked a random history debate is presented to the group.
Uses:
-Effortless planning of History lessons
-Form time activities
-History/Philosophy/Citizenship/Politics cover lessons
-Debating societies
-History P4C (Philosophy for kids) cross-curricular resource
-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:
-“Agree or disagree?â€
-“Which time-portal do you take?†(with animated portal graphics, great for engagement)
-“Who do you save from the time travelling assassin?†(also very engaging and graphically impressive!)
-“Which statement is more true?â€
There are roughly 50 of each slide.
This resource is great value at £4.99 and cannot be found elsewhere:
-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 clearly contributes to the Moral aspect of your school’s SMSC provision
-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.
