This resource pack is the sum total of three years teaching OCR Philosophy & Ethics, and contains all resources necessary for the teaching of the philosophy half of the course: assuming your focus is on Christianity. It contains over 200 files, covering both AS & A2. Most of the resources have been made myself and cannot be found elsewhere. For copyright reasons I have not included the videos, instead I have included a file listing the relevant YouTube videos referred to in some lessons. Most topics have complete printable notes, most have PPTS or associated lessons, and Worksheets: some of the resources are offered as ‘works in progress’. A large variety of assessment materials and feedback tools have been included. Certainly an excellent resource for new teachers of the subject, since this download contains everything I used whilst successfully teaching the subject myself. Given the hundreds of hours that have gone into creating these resources I am proud to sell them at the very reasonable introductory price of £9.99

Designed for teachers using the new OCR Religious Studies AS/A2 specification (H173/H573) This revision session covers both the ‘Meta-ethics’ section of the specification. The topic is a part of the ‘Religion & Ethics’ component of the A2 course and falls under the subsection: ‘Ethical Language: Meta-ethics’. It deals with Naturalism, Intuitionism and Emotivism. This download contains one of a series of revision sessions that use a variety of mind-mapping, discussion and debate tasks to cover a section of the specification. The revision sessions can be used in a number of ways: -As revision sessions during a revision period of term-time leading up to exams -Sandwiched between lessons as they are taught throughout the year as a way of solidifying and assessing learning -During extra-curricular time (KS5 Religious Studies Clubs) This revision session features: -A ‘grid of learning’ post-it task (to focus students on the day’s topic and refresh their memories of the basics) -A 'competitive mind-mapping task (which can be completed on the whiteboard or on A3 paper) -A silent debate task (with 6 x A3 silent debate worksheets in an editable .doc file) [nb. allowing group conversation, instead of silence, is also an effective approach] -Debates that ask students to move from one side of the room or the other and verbalise a defence of their position in response to a statement or rubric. -A concluding ‘One thing I am still uncertain about…’ post-it question. This session can be purchased individually or as part of various bundles depending on your needs. Please note: the cover picture depicts some of the activities that make up this revision session, the wording within those tasks is adapted to the topic specified above and may differ from the wording depicted. Contents and tasks may vary slightly between revision sessions. The cover photo is, however, a fair depiction of the contents of the lesson.

I have compiled a 147-page printable textbook for AS Level Religious Studies (Islam) using the latest OCR specification. Ideally this file should be printed and bound on double-sided colour A4 paper as a booklet for students. It is for the 'Developments in Islamic Thought' section of the course. It features: -Full course notes (some written myself, some taken from a variety online sources) -URLs to recommended texts where they are available. -A personal learning checklist listing the topics students are required to know about -Practice exam questions for every section and topic -Learning activities -Islamic art, pictures & infographics. This was compiled so that a textbook would not be necessary: it is suitable for course-notes or as a revision guide. It took me ages to compile this document, and I know that textbooks are very expensive: so I hope this will save you both time and that purchasing this download will be a no-brainer for any teacher covering Islam at AS Level. Positive reviews are greatly appreciated! Please note. I have had a few requests for AS-Level materials on Islam, if this resource sells well I intend to produce a full course - so please spread the word! I welcome further resource requests: godwin86@gmail.com :)
