  1. Doing Philosophy Lesson 1

  2. What is a philosophical question? Is it: Something we can find the answer on by researching and looking it up on Google? A question that may lead to further questions and there is no right or wrong answer?

  3. Today, we are aiming to: take part in discussions as part of a community of enquiry; to think of our own questions and decidefor ourselves what we will discuss; reach some conclusions and reflect on our own views and those of others.

  4. Rules for P4C • Listen to everyone and never talk when someone else is talking. • Put your thumb up in the circle to speak. • Listen to everyone’s opinion. • Respect and treat others the way you would like to be treated. • What is discussed is to stay in the classroom. • Respect all points of view.

  5. Begin your discussion by considering whether you believe lying is acceptable or can be acceptable in certain situations.

  6. Stars Gold Star – I feel like the discussion went very well and that I have learnt new ideas on the topic. Silver Star – I feel like I contributed well to the discussion and really listened fully to people’s opinion and have developed a new way of understanding the topic. Blue Star – I still have mixed feelings about this topic. I have a lot more questions that I could ask on this topic. Red Star – My opinion has changed since having the discussion. Write the colour star you feel is most appropriate on the post-it note.
