Scaffolding is included in the Powerpoint itself and also in the resources to ensure maximum engagement and comprehension. Challenges (extension tasks) also exist throughout the lessons to further enhance skills and understanding.
There are a variety of knowledge, understanding and evaluation tasks throughout the lesson, including video and debate activities that the students always love - year-on-year.
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!
Gender Equality: The Rise of Feminism - Full Lesson and Resources
Lesson: The Rise of Feminism (How did we get the rights we have today?)
This lesson is Lesson 5 in the ‘Gender Equality’ unit, devised as part of a brand new, relevant and engaging scheme of work for both KS3 and KS4. It was created in response to an increasing call for exploration into gender bias, stereotyping and roles. Though there are clear links with PSHE, it is a revolutionary unit, looking at the issue of gender equality in a way that encompasses religion, philosophy and ethics.
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 lesson sheets, 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 units (Philosophy and Ethics) 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 lesson sheets 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
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
Lesson Sheets:
If you would rather work in exercise books, the Work Pack/lesson sheets are designed so that you can print off relevant pages - it is a resource pack. 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 Work Pack helps 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.

Lesson Sheets:
If you would rather work in exercise books, the Work Pack/lesson sheets are designed so that you can print off relevant pages - it is a resource pack. 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 Work Pack helps 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.

GCSE Interleaved Learning: Peace & Conflict Unit
GCSE Religious Studies: Philosophy and Ethics: Peace & Conflict
This resource is 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.
The lessons 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. Lessons include:
What are peace and justice?
Is it ever right to go to war?
Religious attitudes to war
Violent protest
Terrorism
WMDs
Victims of war
Forgiveness after conflict
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.
Each 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)

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.

Interactive GCSE Islam Exam Technique & Revision Lesson
Intended as revision and teaching exam technique for GCSE Religious Studies for AQA Islam.
Included:
Teacher PowerPoint
Student PowerPoint / handout
The interactive teacher PowerPoint moves through actual exam responses from candidates and the marks allocated, in line with the level criteria and mark scheme. The PowerPoint works through the reasoning and justification for these marks, culminating in an opportunity to improve the 12-mark responses using the level criteria.
An incredibly useful tool for both revising the course and for understanding exam technique and mark allocation.
The download also includes a student version of the PowerPoint, with which they can add their own annotations (marks achieved, justifications, etc) and use in future in preparation for exams.
