I have uploaded my 10 lessons, I noticed there wasn't much on here for post 16 Life after Death

Blank PowerPoint. I made this for a lesson today, it would have been nice to just find a template. I am using it to introduce key terms. It is quite a popular iPhone game at the moment. All you do is look at four pictures which all link you one word. The boxes at the side are usually filled in with letters, letter that include the letter which make up the word. The second slide features a very easy example which show you how it works. Enjoy

Use these with my year 7s during literacy tasks.

For a three part philosophy unit I have written and designed comes the first unit answering the question: Is there a God? There are 8 lessons in total. The school I was working for at the time focused a great deal on literacy so this is a theme throughout all lessons with extended reading and writing. There is a good basis for discussion questions for students. It would also be a scheme suitable for KS2, I found taught this for three years now and find students really love discussing ultimate questions such as whether or not God exists. The miracle lesson has a look at miraculous events in both Christianity and modern times, looking at the reaction from New Yorkers to the Hudson River plane crash. The problem of evil lesson focuses on Ebola in Western Africa and religious responses to the suffering from the illness. There is also a lesson which use an interview with Ricky Gervais to explain why someone might turn away from God and become an atheist.

In a three part philosophy unit I have written and designed, comes the first unit answering the question: Is there a life after death? There are 8 lessons in total. The school I was working for at the time focused a great deal on literacy so this is a theme throughout all lessons with extended reading and writing. There is a good basis for discussion questions for students. It would also be a scheme suitable for KS2, I found taught this for three years now and find students really love discussing ultimate questions - particularly if there is evidence for the afterlife. Within this scheme students are required to discuss what they think a soul is and where it may be within us. There is also a mention f Dualism, wit resources of Ancient Egyptian belief in life after death to aid students understanding of this. Its a pretty cool, different religious view point for students to have a look at. The 8th lesson requires a good knowledge of Harry Potter and is for a bit of fun, it isn't necessary in the overall SOW. It focuses on the philosophy of mind: dualism theme advocated throughout the story of Harry Potter by the discussion of the soul and ghosts.

In a three part philosophy unit I have written and designed, comes the third unit answering the question: Where do we come from? There are 7 lessons in total including a final assessment which encompasses all the unit (see my other uploaded resources). The school I was working for at the time focused a great deal on literacy so this is a theme throughout all lessons with extended reading and writing. There is a good basis for discussion questions for students. It would also be a scheme suitable for KS2, I found taught this for three years now and find students really love discussing ultimate questions - particularly if there is evidence for the afterlife. The scheme focuses on the scale of the universe and where we lie within it, but also where does God lie. It has a look at creation stories including evolution. The lesson on the teleological argument uses the poem the watchmaker to explain to students the point of view of Dawkins.

A question for each group. Feedback in the order on the PPT. Students came up with the dilemma by themselves using our discussion

A fun lesson for teachers and students who love Harry Potter and Philosophy alike. Its quite a nice way to explain and develop the concept of Dualism. Suitable for KS3, 4 and 5. It does require the teacher to have a good knowledge of the story. It contains questions for discussion, you may want to add your own activities depending on the class

5 lessons on the Stone Age. In m school we study topic on a circular timetable. So all year groups study the same topic for 6 weeks. This is from the first week of History, topic the Stone Age. I am the History manager in my school and used the layer of inference lesson in my training on historical enquiry

Designed as a lecture with some exam questions and examiner comments to support students in applying knowledge in to exam style questions

This was a recap lesson because I found the first time I taught Hume the group were quite confused. It is not an outstanding lesson, I would not pretend it to be but I found there wasn't that much on here. Things are highlighted in purple because I highlight for what I think is more important for them to write down. I tell them they can go back and annotate.

I have made this for a lesson where I want to revise key terms. The game is very popular on the iPhone at the moment and would be a great way to introduce or revise key terms. There is a very easy example of slide two how it looks. But the aim of the game is to look at the four pictures, use the letters at the side to find the key term/word. Some times it could be more obvious like the example or perhaps it could be how the images link.

Video link is the starter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CQaWgzxiLk I put my class in to six groups. Each group given an image, either zoos or sport related. 5 minutes to discuss the questions in the first box. Use the information pack on the relevant topic to present argument for/against and religious responses. That usually took 15-20 minutes, I put a timer on the board. Then pupils are to use each others posters and move around the room for 10 minutes to fill in their table, they are given the opportunity to do the S&C question at the bottom.

Not an outstanding lesson, Just a bunch of games which are recapping Hume's argument and teaching a chunk of information. Made quite late at night - i&'m only an NQT. I am not really sure what would be a good consolidation after the hide and seek game so i just went with the bog standard summary and opinion. The kids enjoyed it and learnt a lot. Hope it is helpful

An introduction lesson for a relatively weak year 7 group. Found they enjoyed the variety of activities and it includes the literacy skill of interpreting information and summarising it.

For/Against capital punishment. A fun way to get students to think of all those arguments that can be done to death (no pun intended)
