Three separate lessons included. Nagel, Dennetts, Churchlands - all the mentioned scholars in AQA. Nothing too fancy here, but I have spent considerable hours on these and tried to follow the AQA spec really closely. Hopefully they will be of use to someone else too!
Various retrieval and recap quizzes, Eduqas A level Christianity. Suitable for other boards too:
Baptism
Trinity
Death and resurrection
Feminist views of God
Made with mini whiteboard plenaries in mind. Have worked well for me; enjoy!
Visiting PhD student provided our dept with this! (hence the excellent footnotes). What is ‘predestination’? What Biblical support is there for the doctrine? What are the implications for moral responsibility? What did Augustine, Pelagius, Calvin, Arminus, Edwards and John Wesley have to say? This was the handout to his talk. Questions included at the end.
Drawn from a Guardian article, this resource summarises Archbishop Welby's thinking on corporate responsibility and guilt, based on his years as an oil executive. Fascinating proposals for corporate 'humiliation' and very quotable.
Explains God’s omnibonevolence, with Scriptural support, and then the Euthypro challenge. Use of Abraham’s sacrifice of Isaac and the Amalekite genocide as specific examples of possible arbitrary and tyrannical divine commands. Humanist and religious response given.
Suitable for self - learning and progression into A level RS, a booklet with a two hour section on each of Philosophy of Religion, Religion (Christianity) and Ethics. All resources mentioned in the tasks are available for free, including the Ethics book. All the links work and each section directly relates to A level course of study (most suitable for Eduquas and Edexcel exam boards).
With thanks to Nikki McGee on Save RE who inspired the format and task 2.
Two powerpoints here covering mind - body interaction and the conceivability argument for substance dualism. Similar in style to my other resources available in TES. Nothing too fancy, but I did try to stick really closely to the spec. ‘Handout’ refers to the Routledge handouts available here https://routledgetextbooks.com/textbooks/9781138690394/additional-resources.php
This follows on from my other Funtionalism ppt available on TES. Nothing fancy, but covers the specification closely: inverted qualia, Chinese thought experiment, ‘knowledge’/Mary argument.
Two powerpoints here, one on issues with dualism (covering the issue of other minds) and one general on the strengths and weaknesses of substance dualism. The first is purely for AQA Philosophy, but the second I also found useful teaching A Level RS (Edexcel) for Life after Death (dualism/materialism).
A powerpoint outlining some strengths and weaknesses of eliminative materialism. I had used the Lacewing notes to teach eliminative materialism, then started this ppt with a recap quiz and followed with the strengths and weaknesses.
I designed these to help me assess my students mid - topic before I set them an essay. Intended to take about 40 mins each, the four tests (Utilitarianism, Situation Ethics, Natural Law 1 and Natural Law 2 (Finnis/Hoose) contain a mix of short and longer questions.
Four retrieval quizzes, three suitable for mini whiteboards and one on Word, on:
Verification
Falsification
Language Games
Based on the Edexcel specification and the Religious Language anthology (university symposium between Flew, Hare and Mitchell) with an additional quiz on early and late Wittgenstein thrown in.
Worked well in my classes - enjoy!
