The Question Maps and Socratic Method lesson has been taught to students of all ages, from elementary through high school. In this lesson, students explore the history of Socrates and the origins of the Socratic Method, engage in small-group activities, and come together for a whole-class discussion. In their groups, students create “Question Maps,” building webs of questions and possible answers that connect, diverge, and deepen their thinking about a central philosophical question.

The Ethics of Consumption lesson introduces middle and high school students to ethical theory through real-world consumption dilemmas. Students read and analyze a variety of ethical consumption dilemmas, analyze the cases individually, and then discuss their reasoning in small groups and later as a whole class. This lesson helps students see how philosophers systematically approach ethical questions while reflecting on their own values and decisions.

The Introduction to Logic lesson introduces high school students to the fundamentals of logical reasoning. Students learn how philosophers use logic to evaluate claims, construct sound arguments, and identify flaws in reasoning. Through examples and guided exercises, they practice distinguishing premises from conclusions, spotting common logical errors, and seeing how clear, structured thinking can support or challenge ideas. This lesson helps students understand how logic provides a rigorous foundation for philosophical inquiry and everyday decision-making.
