Card Sort - Comparing Religious Attitudes To Organ Donation

This fun and interactive resource is designed to help your students understand the different attitudes of Christians and Muslims towards organ donation and transplant surgery. I originally designed this resource for my GCSE RE group as a consolidation exercise to help them produce an extended piece of writing answering a past paper question for Edexcel. However, it can also be used as a starter, plenary or a homework piece of work.

When you purchase this resource you will be able to download a two page Word document which includes 22 statement cards and 3 heading cards labelled ‘Christian Beliefs’, ‘Muslim Beliefs’ and ‘Non Religious.’ The resource also includes an objective, instructions and an extended writing question on the topic.

I usually get my students to either cut out the cards or colour code the heading cards. Once they have fed back their results, we then stick the cards into our books. We then use the finished card sort as the basis for an extended piece of writing. They can then use the card headings as opening points and select statements as their examples for their PEEL’d paragraphs.

The aims and objectives for this lesson are:

Theme: Religious attitudes towards surgery
Know: Why are some people opposed to organ donation and transplant surgery?
Understand: The different religious and non religious attitudes?
Evaluate: Which attitudes are Muslim or Christian?
