Live polling on bullying scenarios with debate
The teacher poses a bullying scenario where a friend witnesses unkind behaviour. Students vote on Mentimeter for the most likely friend response among three options. The class sees the spread, then in pairs writes a 30-second defence of what the right response would be. The teacher facilitates discussion. The class re-votes.
Tools: Mentimeter
Moral dilemma reasoning on a shared wall
The teacher posts a moral dilemma scenario (e.g. you find a wallet with cash and an ID; what do you do?). Each student posts their reasoning on a class Padlet, including what factors they weighed. The class scrolls and the teacher highlights where reasoning converges and diverges.
Tools: Padlet
Pairs analyse conflicting health advice
The teacher posts three contrasting pieces of advice on a health topic (e.g. sleep duration, screen time, sugar intake) drawn from different sources (NHS, social media, a celebrity). Each student picks one piece, evaluates its credibility on a class Padlet, and posts their judgement. The class compares evaluations.
Tools: Padlet
