Series: 100 Ideas for Teachers

No matter what you teach, there is a 100 Ideas title for you!

The 100 Ideas series offers teachers practical, easy-to-implement strategies and activities for the classroom. Each author is an expert in their field and is passionate about sharing best practice with their peers. Each title includes at least ten additional extra-creative Bonus Ideas that won't fail to inspire and engage all learners.

How do you teach a subject

that has no ‘right’ answers? Philosophical and ethical concepts can be overwhelming

to students who have not encountered them before, and complex arguments can

be difficult to navigate. John L. Taylor's book will help you to engage your class and have them

reading, writing, talking and thinking philosophically.

Starting with introductory ideas

such as 'a guided tour of philosophy land', the book moves on to ideas for

stimulating and managing student discussions and debates, guidance for effective

research, and methods to support students with their essays, presentations and projects.

There are also tips for getting the best out of quieter students, and ideas for taking philosophy beyond the

classroom. Hashtags and websites providing resources to enliven your classes are

included throughout the book.
