Thanks to all of those who have left reviews below and helped this to become the “go-to” resource for teaching Buddhism at GCSE level.
This bundle contains 20 high-quality lessons, each with lesson plans, presentations, and most with worksheets.
It is suitable for all GCSE specifications: especially AQA and OCR.
It covers all necessary material for the ‘Beliefs, Teachings & Practices’ section (Section A) of the course in relation to BUDDHISM.
It is the product of many weeks work: I have aimed to make these resources such that every lesson would receive a good or outstanding rating if inspected.
All lesson downloads include:
-A detailed lesson plan: explaining objectives, differentiation, cross-curricular aims, AfL tasks, and an activity timeline.
-A presentation file designed to the highest professional standard.
-Integrated and varied AfL
-A suggested homework task
The course features 15 worksheets, a ‘Buddhist board-game’ template, various ‘knowledge hunt’ activities and also features an IT Suite Lesson. It is designed to be a complete course for the first year of GCSE Religious Studies teaching.
Downloading this bundle will certainly save you many many hours of preparation time: as a practising Buddhist I hope it will allow Religious Studies Teachers to teach the Buddhist component of their chosen GCSE specification.
Positive reviews are warmly welcomed: I have made this course with pride and hope you will find it comprehensive and useful.
“May you be happy, may you be healthy, may you be peaceful.”

KS3 RE Units
Copyright Adam Godwin (2018)
This package contains a 9 lesson course on Islam designed for mixed ability KS3 students.
It features a wide array of starters, activities, worksheets, presentations, and plenaries. It also includes an assessment. A file is includes ‘List of Videos for Lessons’ referencing YouTube videos associated with this course.
For most teachers this will be the only resource needed for teaching about Islam at Key-stage 3 and may be of use to GCSE students in learning a comparative religion.
Topics covered include:
-The Five Pillars of Islam
-Muslim Beliefs
-Prayer in Islam
-Islam & Terrorism
-Media Representation of Islam
-The Veil
-Features of a Mosque
-Explaining Levels in Religious Studies (Lesson with activities)
-Assessment Materials (no PPT)
The attached image features sample slides and activities from the presentation and hopefully represents the vibrant, professional and clear style it’s creator was aiming for.
“As salamu aleiykum!” (Peace be upon you!)
This bundle contains 20 GCSE Sociology assessments in the form of practice exam sections. It is designed for the latest AQA specification.
Each of the 20 exam sections is half a full exam and takes 50 minutes for students to complete. Each of the 20 exam sections contain a standard set of questions including two 12-mark rubrics: a model answer for one of them is included for each assessment. Each of the 20 exam sections is accompanied by a mark-scheme.
In short, in this bundle you get 20 exam sections, 20 mark-schemes, and 20 model 12-mark answers.
This bundle should take care of most (if not all) of your GCSE Sociology assessment needs: students should ideally complete these 20 assessments over the 2-year course; data-collection of results allows for easy progress tracking. You may prefer to use them in the run-up to formal public exams: they are ideal for this also!
There are five assessments for each of the four main topics: Crime & Deviance, Education, Family & Social Stratification.
BONUS RESOURCES:
Assessment Feedback Worksheets x2 (A4)
Please note:
These are not official exam scripts, I do not work for AQA: I have aimed to make reasonable practice exam-questions based on the specimen material already provided. The papers follow the official AQA format and look like official papers. All items are editable: if you think the 12-mark model-answers are too intimidating, feel free to reduce them.

Philosophy for Children!
The Philosophy Boxes Method is a new approach to P4C designed for students in KS1, 2 & 3: it is graphically stimulating, engaging, and fun. This download is also suitable for older students: but the format was designed with younger students in mind.
The topic of this Philosophy Boxes download is ‘The Biggest Questions in Philosophy’
The aim of Philosophy Boxes is to bring philosophy and critical thinking into every subject at every level: we believe that any subject becomes philosophy when students are asked the right questions and when they think about a topic hard enough and on the deepest (most fundamental) level.
The Philosophy Boxes Method presents students with a set of ‘mystery boxes’, when a student selects one of the boxes they are presented with 1 of 21 discussion/debate activities [that use 1 of 8 different formats].
The presentation has integrated AfL so that teachers can test knowledge at any point in the lesson. There are 10 different AfL slides to choose from.
The design is colourful, animated, fun and engaging: all activities require movement and teachers can decide whether students are expressing their ideas purely verbally or by using post-it notes.
The nature of the design is that it can be used for short sessions (5-10 minutes) or much longer sessions (up to 2 hours!) - it allows for classroom practitioners to be flexible and adaptable. It can, therefore, be used in lessons or as a tutor-time activity.
The download includes a PowerPoint Show; if you would like an editable PPT presentation so that you can make your own ‘Philosophy Boxes’ presentation you will need to download the template here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-the-philosophy-boxes-method-template-for-creating-your-own-philosophy-boxes-lessons-p4c-p4k-11463227
