Multiculturalism & Celebrating Other Cultures [Philosophy Boxes] (P4C) KS1-3 Philosophy - Debates
godwin86godwin86

Multiculturalism & Celebrating Other Cultures [Philosophy Boxes] (P4C) KS1-3 Philosophy - Debates

(5)
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 “Multiculturalism & Celebrating Other Cultures”. 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: https://www.tes.com/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: https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?&q=philosophy+boxes+godwin86 You can also save money by purchasing lessons as bundles.

AQA GCSE Religious Studies: Theme C - The Existence of God &Revelation [Over 90 Files!] Full Lessons

(2)
I went through all my old resources to find relevant files for the ‘The Existence of God & Revelation’ theme of new specification and compiled them into this 90+ file bundle. Resources focus on Christianity but I will be making new resources for Buddhism soon. Please note: most of the video files have been removed from this download due to space limitations (the maximum upload is about 200mb) - but the video files are all available on YouTube. Update: 2018 Please note that I have now released updated resource packs for the ‘Thematic Studies’ component of the GCSE course. These can be found be clicking here. They are considerably higher quality, better value and generally superior to these older files in every way so have a look!
AS Religious Studies (OCR) ISLAM [Islamic Thought] 147-PAGE PRINTABLE TEXTBOOK / REVISION BOOKLET!
godwin86godwin86

AS Religious Studies (OCR) ISLAM [Islamic Thought] 147-PAGE PRINTABLE TEXTBOOK / REVISION BOOKLET!

(7)
I have compiled a 147-page printable textbook for AS Level Religious Studies (Islam) using the latest OCR specification. Ideally this file should be printed and bound on double-sided colour A4 paper as a booklet for students. It is for the 'Developments in Islamic Thought' section of the course. It features: -Full course notes (some written myself, some taken from a variety online sources) -URLs to recommended texts where they are available. -A personal learning checklist listing the topics students are required to know about -Practice exam questions for every section and topic -Learning activities -Islamic art, pictures & infographics. This was compiled so that a textbook would not be necessary: it is suitable for course-notes or as a revision guide. It took me ages to compile this document, and I know that textbooks are very expensive: so I hope this will save you both time and that purchasing this download will be a no-brainer for any teacher covering Islam at AS Level. Positive reviews are greatly appreciated! Please note. I have had a few requests for AS-Level materials on Islam, if this resource sells well I intend to produce a full course - so please spread the word! I welcome further resource requests: godwin86@gmail.com :)
