Entire unit for teaching about the Holocaust. I created this unit as a result of visiting Poland, the concentration camps, Jewish and history museums, Schindler’s factory and a variety of other key locations. I was also able to meet a survivor and, as you will see from the resources, this features heavily as a theme throughout - that this isn’t just an event that only affected the people who have long since died, but that it is still as important today as it was then. The unit is also meant as preparation for pupils who will be moving on to study Jewish persecution at GCSE as part of a wider approach to tackling prejudice and discrimination. History of Judaism is also important if studying Judaism as a main religion under the new specifications. Lesson 1 - Introduction (Warsaw Ghetto) Lesson 2 - Antisemitism Lesson 3 - Concentration Camps Lesson 4 - Anne Frank Lesson 5 - Survivor Stories Lesson 6 - Assessment Materials are differentiated where applicable.

These analysis mind maps sumarise each topic by page for the whole unit of Religion and Ethics (AS and A2 years). Each map is downloaded as both a Word document and a PDF, for compatibility. The maps specifically follow the requirements of the OCR A Level Religious Studies Spec, but due to similarities across specifications they are relevant for other exam boards. They can also be edited easily for other specifications. They explore appropriate AO1 (knowledge and understanding) followed by AO2 (analysis and evaluation) of that specific point. I encourage my own students to add another layer to the map, evaluating the analysis, to develop their AO2. This could continue on indefinitely or end each ‘arm’ with a personal judgement. I also like to cut up the maps and ask the student to re-construct them. This aids in their revision skills and supports their logical structuring of arguments. Maps included: Natural Law Situation Ethics Kantian Ethics Utilitarianism Euthanasia Business Ethics Meta-Ethics Conscience Sexial Ethics Please give feedback!
