"My co-teacher and I teach a full inclusive class of seniors, and we wanted some active lessons that could also be done via google classroom (if we had a quarantined kid, etc.) that made them think and were engaging. We knew they'd get a kick out of this lesson, but we were not prepared for them to become obsessed with it lol!"

This product develops the ideas discussed in the following video:
Utilitarianism: Crash Course© Philosophy #36

The ideas analyzed in the video and this product are in the public domain; for instance, Utilitarianism is a famous philosophy, and the works of Jeremy Bentham may be found online for free. This product can stand alone without the video. However, my students find the video helpful in reviewing the principles of Immanuel Kant and Jeremy Bentham.

This product includes student questions, teacher notes, Crash Course© quotes, and philosophers.
