GCSE Religious Studies: Philosophy and Ethics: Peace & Conflict Lesson: Violent and non-violent protest This lesson is Lesson 4 in the ‘Peace & Conflict’ unit, devised as part of a brand new, interleaved scheme of work for GCSE. It is intended as a double (roughly one and a half hours per lesson) however, due to time restrictions and the embedded support in the corresponding Work Pack, could also be taught in a minimal one hour. This scheme of learning has been devised explicitly to support the Recovery Curriculum, interleave learning with previously-learned religious units (Christianity and Islam) and support cognition through interleaving techniques. Although part of a unit, this lesson can also be taught as a stand-alone lesson, e.g. for revision. The corresponding Work Packs would also support a home-learned curriculum as the PowerPoints and Packs themselves include differentiation and scaffolding, where required. The interleaved schemed of work are specifically designed to promote the two skills desired for success at GCSE: AO1 (Knowledge and Understanding) AO2 (Analysis and Evaluation) The resources are specifically created to ensure students are aware of the skill they are demonstrating and how to improve further through modelling. These new units bring the relevance back to our topics, for example, through thought experiments and reference to current affairs. Students will experience greater engagement and enjoyment in a fair and balanced approach. Lesson includes: Homework Slide Unit Cover and lesson overview Starter activity, including interleaving Key words (literacy focus) Introduction of key information (AO1 - knowledge) and how this is used (AO1 - understanding) Introduction of a contentious issue or debate (AO2 - analysis) and finalised judgement (AO2 - evaluation) Plenary The Lesson Sheets: If you would rather work in exercise books, the Lesson Sheets are designed so that you can print off relevant pages - they are a collection of resources. This would be useful if you have appropriate curriculum time to cover the content of the course. Unfortunately, this is not the case across all schools, and therefore the lesson sheets help by providing time-saving activities, whilst still being able to cover the breadth and depth of the course. In addition, students who may be limited by literacy issues, e.g. slower writing paces, are not disadvantaged or capped in their progress. Therefore, some classes could use a mixed approach - part Work Pack, part exercise book - and all students will be able to progress through the same volume of content. Please give feedback: I am always happy to respond to comments - whether positive or constructive - this will help to improve the quality of my resources in the future and, more importantly, the quality of pupils’ RE/RS education in general - which is what we’re all here for!

This interactive PowerPoint aims to revise ‘random’ content through 28 different exam-style questions. My students sometimes miss the focus or don’t understand exactly what the question is asking for. So, this revision task gets them to think about the question itself and retrieve key learning associated with the question (AO1). I also ask them to make a judgement (AO2) on the essay title so as to practise both skills required for the essays. Created for the OCR specification, but can be adapted for other exam boards easily, due to the assessment objectives being the same.

This revision lesson aims to prepare students for an upcoming assessment or exam for the ‘Philosophy and Ethics’ or 'Themes’ element of their GCSE in time-saving and engaging methods. This lesson explores common cores to all units. Within AQA, there are 6 P&E units, so covering all in one lesson would be impossible. Therefore, I have created a ‘common core’ lesson that provides the foundation and support required for all units. It is created with the AQA GCSE in mind, though is adaptable across specifications. The only difference would be the way in which some of the key words are spelled in Islam, e.g. ‘Mecca/Makkah’ however this is not considered when awarding SPAG anyway. In addition, the original editable documents are included, so you can tailor the language/spellings for your class/qualification. The PowerPoint includes: Aims of the lesson Authority and Influences Key Christian Teachings and Interpretations Humanist Beliefs and Values Case Studies Debate Skills - Analysis and Evaluation The activities are a collection of time-saving revision activities that minimalise writing, making the lesson suitable for all learners. Answers are also embedded into the PowerPoint via attractive and engaging animations. The corresponding learning mat is two-sided (one side for Islam, another for Christianity) and correspond with the work on the PowerPoint. All resources are available in their original Microsoft Word format, though can be downloaded as PDFs too, for compatibility purposes. Please give feedback!

This PowerPoint is a collection of thought-provoking, mind-boggling thought experiments that can be used to support revision and essay technique (providing illustrations and examples) or to engage a new cohort of students! The thought experiments range from ones within the specification (Gilbert Ryle’s University example and Descartes’ Waking Dream) to ones a little outside of the direct spec, but are nonetheless relevant (such as Derek Parfit’s teletransportation paradox and Hume’s Indian and the ice example). Created for the OCR specification, but can be adapted for other exam boards easily, due to the assessment objectives being the same.
