This lesson is designed to take students through Grace Davie's theory 'Belief Without Belonging'. The lesson involves an independent research task which has a skeleton structure to it, making it fully adaptable to the needs of the class by the teacher. There is also a ready made 'pairs' game which helps revise previous content - this would make an excellent starter. There is a differentiated sociologist chart to be filled in as part of a class task. All timings for the lesson are incorporated into the PowerPoint - this lesson has been designed to be fully adaptable to any length of time. Equally, there is a suggested homework task at the end for your students. I hope you enjoy this lesson, please do leave feedback.

This resource is a complete lesson which is fully adaptable; the content is specifically about Marxism and Sociology. This is a good overview, with extension work, of the perspective of Marxism in regards to religion. There is a worksheet, a differentiated activity, whole lesson presentation (with hyperlink to a good video resource), and an extended reading task for G&T. This is aimed at students at the beginning of A2 but could be easily adapted for those doing GCSE. The lesson range covers target grades of A*- E. It is recomended that you check the differentiated task before using to ensure that it is the right level for your pupils; equally, do also check the PPT and ensure that you have the resources needed (tablets, interactive whiteboard/projector). I hope your pupils get the most they can out of this lesson and if you have any feedback then please do comment and review. Thanks.

A complete lesson plan with PowerPoint, worksheets, stretch and challenge material and differentiated tasks. This lesson goes through definitions of religion, introducing sociologists to A2 students that research into this area. There is an extended amount of sociologists included here which are not included on the specification, as well as those that are included. By the end of this lesson, pupils will be able to articulate the different definitions of religion and link them to sociologists that proposed them. Equally, students will be equipped to make their own definitions and have an in-depth knowledge of Ao2 evaluative points about definitions of religion.
