The PSHE Debate Generator [200+ Debates, Randomisation Feature] Health Tutor

This is a 211 slide PPT, containing over 200 PSHE debates, discussions, and dilemmas.

It also contains a 'randomiser' slide: when clicked a random debate is presented to the group.

Uses:

-PSHE Sessions
-P4C (Philosophy for kids)
-Form/tutor time activities
-Cover Lessons
-Debating societies
-Making best use of spare time at the end of lessons

Discussions follow one of five 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?
-Which parallel dimension would you go to?
-Which of the two laws would you put in place?
-Which job would you prefer?
-Which is better?
