This resource is designed for AS/A Level students taking the Eduqas/WJEC curriculum. In this resource we go through: Key concepts Scholars, dates, books Design qua purpose Design qua regularity Aquinas teleological argument Paley’s watch maker analogy This is all done through structured and interactive activities, designed to prepare them for exam writing as well as getting the new content from their working memory into their long term!

Topic: Natural Law Sub topic: Applying Natural Law to abortion In these work sheets the students are asked to looked at several arguments based around abortion and identify if they are in support of a woman’s right to have an abortion; or if they are arguments against having an abortion. The second work sheet helps with exam practice by asking the students to create an introduction and conclusion to the arguments already put into a coherant structure.

In this work sheet we look at the basics of what Aquinas means by ‘apparent’ and ‘real’ goods. Appropriate for AS/A Level students.

In this work sheet the students are guided through the basics on Natural Law, including quotes; who is Thomas Aquinas; and what the primary precepts are. This is a great resource for GCSE students or AS/A Level!

In this lesson we integrate retrieval practice; and exam practice to get Anselm’s ontologocial argument from the working memory into the long term. From here we do interactive activities to get the students to understand Gaunilo’s criticisms and Anselm’s addition to the argument. There is a clear structure to this lesson with helpful images to assist the students learning and understanding of Alvin Plantinga’s support of Anselm and Aquinas’ critiques.

In this voice over resource, I talk you through the introduction to the ontological argument and the activities the students are to carry on. This lesson covers- Retrieval practice of key concepts linked to the ontological argument Retrieval practice of the cosmological argument Who is Anselm? What is the first part of Anselm’s argument? Independent tasks the students carry out to prepare them for next lesson. I have not included the videos included due to copyright. Best wishes, Miss Green

In this resource, we begin Anselm’s ontological argument. This lesson is focussed on key words for the topic; the scholar; the context in which he was writing; and his premises within his first argument. This resource also contains independent research tasks for the students to carry about before the next lesson where we introduce Gaunilo’s criticism leading to Anselm’s edited argument. This resource has been tried and tested by my 16-17 year old students currently remote learning. This led to a successful understanding of the first part of the argument. This resource is simple to follow, with clear images, a simple structure and interactive activities for the students to be engaging with. The activities are also embedded within this file.
