I have compiled a 147-page printable textbook for AS Level Religious Studies (Islam) using the latest OCR specification. Ideally this file should be printed and bound on double-sided colour A4 paper as a booklet for students.
It is for the 'Developments in Islamic Thought' section of the course. It features:
-Full course notes (some written myself, some taken from a variety online sources)
-URLs to recommended texts where they are available.
-A personal learning checklist listing the topics students are required to know about
-Practice exam questions for every section and topic
-Learning activities
-Islamic art, pictures & infographics.
This was compiled so that a textbook would not be necessary: it is suitable for course-notes or as a revision guide.
It took me ages to compile this document, and I know that textbooks are very expensive: so I hope this will save you both time and that purchasing this download will be a no-brainer for any teacher covering Islam at AS Level. Positive reviews are greatly appreciated!
Please note. I have had a few requests for AS-Level materials on Islam, if this resource sells well I intend to produce a full course - so please spread the word!
I welcome further resource requests: godwin86@gmail.com :)

The download includes 10 Lessons, though some can be used over two 1-hour periods:
Introduction
Central Debates
Christian views about Sex, Premarital Sex & Contraception
Christian Views about Homosexuality

This is the ninth in a series of lessons on Hinduism for GCSE level students for the 'Beliefs, Teachings & Practices' section of the course [section A].
It is designed around the OCR specification and is therefore suitable for teachers using the AQA specification (which is a less detailed equivalent to the OCR spec) and highly relevant to GCSE Religious Studies teachers regardless of the specification used.
This lesson, being a general overview of Hindu sacred texts, is not specification specific.
The Download (comprising 4 files, within one zip file) includes:
-A PPT Containing a Full Lesson
-A complete lesson plan covering: objectives, key-words, differentiation, and lesson timeline
-Double-sided A3 worksheet
-A 14 Page 'Knowledge Hunt' (.doc) with colour pictures, outlining 'Interesting Facts' and extracts/quotes from the four main Hindu sacred texts.
-Background music for SMSC/Behaviour Management during the knowledge hunt
-A Homework Task
The topic of the lesson focusses on Hindu sacred texts, and the 'Sources of authority' aspect of your specification.
The lesson provides students with an overview of and selected readings from:
The Vedas, a collection of hymns praising the Vedic gods. Veda means 'knowledge'
The Ramayana, long epic poems about Rama and Sita
The Mahabharata, which includes the Bhagavad Gita
The Puranas, a collection of stories about the different incarnations and the lives of saints
This is part of a series of lessons, if you like it: save countless hours by downloading the complete course! The complete series of GCSE Hinduism lessons can be downloaded at our TES Shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/godwin86
Thank you for your download!
Positive reviews are greatly appreciated.
This download contains an editable 50+ slide PowerPoint featuring debates for GCSE Religious Studies students. It also contains a ‘randomiser’ slide so that debate topics can be selected randomly.
This tool focuses on Christian teachings and does not refer to a specific comparative religion (making it suitable for all GCSE RS teachers). I based the debate topics on commonalities between AQA, OCR and Eduqas specifications: it should be useful regardless of the specification you are using.
Debates take an ‘agree or disagree’ format: students are asked to move from one side of the room to the other depending on their response to the statements that appear.
This format allows teachers to foster debates and discussions between students, it can be helpful to ask students to justify their reasons and use sensible arguments. Questions you might ask include:
“What is wrong with the other position in your view?”,
“Why did you choose to stand where you’re standing?”,
“Why do you think people disagree so much about this question?”
It is best to encourage students to pick a side rather than float in the middle: but it can also be fun to allow students to change side as the debate progresses, so that students can try to persuade one another to move.
This is a great resource to use at the end of lessons if you have a few minutes left, it can be used as an entire lesson or revision session. It’s a fun way to introduce a course or to use as an ice-breaker with new classes, and can also be used by tutor groups as a whole-school initiative.

A3 DIRT Worksheet (15+ 5-star ratings!)
KS3 RE Units
This printable workbook is suitable for homework, classwork or distance learning: it will help your students to get more from watching documentaries and videos. This colourful printable booklet includes ten learning sessions spread over twenty pages. You could also just print a couple of pages from this workbook to create a worksheet for an instant video-learning lesson: ideal for cover lessons!
This teaching resource is designed for GCSE Religous Studies and refers to the religion of Islam. The workbook is suitable for all specifications and is designed for the ‘Beliefs / Teachings / Practices’ component of GCSE Religious Studies courses.
The workbook includes links to ten different documentaries or lengthily videos and straight-forward note-taking and comprehension activities so as to structure and foster engagement with the documentary whilst enhancing student learning. The videos refer to a broad range of topics relevant to the study of the religion.
The twenty-page workbook was designed with homework in mind and contains ten different homework sessions. I would suggest using the booklets as a simple way to take care of ‘every other homework’ and use it to supplement your other approaches to homework: just print the booklets out and give them to your students. You can also use the booklets just as well in a classroom setting and they are incredibly easy to use such that even a non-specialist cover-teacher could make use of them. They’re also an ideal way to bolster your distance learning provisions in times of student absence.
Over time some of the links in this workbook may expire, I’ll try to update them from time to time but the workbook is easy to edit - so make sure you check that the links still work before printing and update any broken/defunct links that might crop-up! I’ve done my best to include links to the best videos available for this topic: teachers should ensure that the video links included are suitable for their specific classes.

This is the seventh in a series of lessons on Hinduism for GCSE level students for the ‘Beliefs, Teachings & Practices’ section of the course [section A].
It is designed around the OCR specification and is therefore suitable for teachers using the AQA specification (which is a less detailed equivalent to the OCR spec) and highly relevant to GCSE Religious Studies teachers regardless of the specification used.
The Download (comprising 3 files, within one zip file) includes:
-A PPT Containing a Full Lesson
-A complete lesson plan covering: objectives, key-words, differentiation, and lesson timeline
-Double-sided A4 worksheet
-A Homework Task
The topic of the lesson focusses on the following part of the specification:
The Four Aims of Human Life (Purusharthas)
• The meaning of the term Dharma, which is dependent on the context in which it is applied
• The role and significance of dharma in Hindu life
• The relationship between dharma and other concepts such as varna, ashrama, artha, karma and moksha
• Sanatana dharma (the eternal dharma) as a name some Hindus give to their religion, including the idea of ancient and universal truths contained within the religion
• The relationship between an individual’s dharma and the concept of karma
• Common and divergent emphases placed on the four aims of human life by different Hindu groups, including different ways of understanding varna and its function in society
• Different interpretations and emphases given to sources of wisdom and authority by different Hindu groups

Designed for teachers using OCR Religious Studies AS/A2 specification (H173/H573)
This revision session covers the ‘Kantian Ethics’ section of the specification. The topic is a part of the ‘Religion and Ethics’ aspect of the AS course.
This download is one of a series of revision sessions that use a variety of mind-mapping, discussion and debate tasks to cover a section of the specification.
The revision sessions can be used in a number of ways:
-As revision sessions during a revision period of term-time leading up to exams
-Sandwiched between lessons as they are taught throughout the year as a way of solidifying and assessing learning
-During extra-curricular time (KS5 Religious Studies Clubs)
This revision session features:
-A ‘grid of learning’ post-it task (to focus students on the day’s topic and refresh their memories of the basics)
-A 'competitive mind-mapping task (which can be completed on the whiteboard or on A3 paper)
-A silent debate task (with 6 x A3 silent debate worksheets in an editable .doc file) [nb. allowing group conversation, instead of silence, is also an effective approach]
-Debates that ask students to move from one side of the room or the other and verbalise a defence of their position in response to a statement or rubric.
-A concluding ‘One thing I am still uncertain about…’ post-it question.
This session can be purchased individually or as part of various bundles depending on your needs.
Please note: the cover picture depicts some of the activities that make up this revision session, the wording within those tasks is adapted to the topic specified above and may differ from the wording depicted. Contents and tasks may vary slightly between revision sessions. The cover photo is, however, a fair depiction of the contents of the lesson.
This bundle is for a collection of ‘Philosophy Boxes’ lessons/sessions.
Each session comprises a P4C lesson/session that can be used 2-3 times with the same group.
This contains the complete 20 sessions bundle designed for Primary School Teachers. It is tantamount to a complete cross-curricular P4C course and will be useful for countless hours of teaching across every subject. Many of the sessions are also great for tutor/form time.
The Philosophy Boxes Method is a new approach to P4C designed for students in KS1, 2 & 3: it is graphically stimulating, engaging, and fun. This download is also suitable for older students: but the format was designed with younger students in mind.
The aim of Philosophy Boxes is to bring philosophy and critical thinking into every subject at every level: we believe that any subject becomes philosophy when students are asked the right questions and when they think about a topic hard enough and on the deepest (most fundamental) level.
The Philosophy Boxes Method presents students with a set of ‘mystery boxes’, when a student selects one of the boxes they are presented with 1 of 21 discussion/debate activities [that use 1 of 8 different formats].
The presentation has integrated AfL so that teachers can test knowledge at any point in the lesson. There are 10 different AfL slides to choose from.
The design is colourful, animated, fun and engaging: all activities require movement and teachers can decide whether students are expressing their ideas purely verbally or by using post-it notes.
The nature of the design is that it can be used for short sessions (5-10 minutes) or much longer sessions (up to 2 hours!) - it allows for classroom practitioners to be flexible and adaptable. It can, therefore, be used in lessons or as a tutor-time activity.
The download includes a PowerPoint Show; if you would like an editable PPT presentation so that you can make your own ‘Philosophy Boxes’ presentation you will need to download the template here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-the-philosophy-boxes-method-template-for-creating-your-own-philosophy-boxes-lessons-p4c-p4k-11463227
