What do teachers say about this resource? (9223)

A really accessible and engaging resource that helps to introduce students to topics in a way that will promote discussion and interest. There are a range of activities that can easily be photocopied and given to students with limited teacher workload increase. It provides an engaging introduction into key philosophical concepts. There are a range of activities rather than simple question and answer comprehension tasks. They provide a ready-made resource that will reduce time lesson planning, engage students and improve grades. Perfect match.
