This printable workbook is suitable for homework, classwork or distance learning: it will help your students to get more from watching documentaries and videos. This colourful printable booklet includes ten learning sessions spread over twenty pages. You could also just print a couple of pages from this workbook to create a worksheet for an instant video-learning lesson: ideal for cover lessons! This teaching resource is designed for GCSE Religous Studies and refers to the religion of Judaism. The workbook is suitable for all specifications and is designed for the ‘Beliefs / Teachings / Practices’ component of GCSE Religious Studies courses. The workbook includes links to ten different documentaries or lengthily videos and straight-forward note-taking and comprehension activities so as to structure and foster engagement with the documentary whilst enhancing student learning. The videos refer to a broad range of topics relevant to the study of the religion. The twenty-page workbook was designed with homework in mind and contains ten different homework sessions. I would suggest using the booklets as a simple way to take care of ‘every other homework’ and use it to supplement your other approaches to homework: just print the booklets out and give them to your students. You can also use the booklets just as well in a classroom setting and they are incredibly easy to use such that even a non-specialist cover-teacher could make use of them. They’re also an ideal way to bolster your distance learning provisions in times of student absence. Over time some of the links in this workbook may expire, I’ll try to update them from time to time but the workbook is easy to edit - so make sure you check that the links still work before printing and update any broken/defunct links that might crop-up! I’ve done my best to include links to the best videos available for this topic: teachers should ensure that the video links included are suitable for their specific classes.

It features: -50 Debates -Animated slides -A randomiser function -Central moral/ethical teachings for students to link to debate prompts -All debates linked to moral issues from the exam board specifications (specifically, OCR/AQA specs, 2016/7 onwards) It is ideal for: -Teaching and revising moral concepts specific to the religion covered. -Teaching students to apply general moral principles from the religious tradition to different moral issues. -Practising exam technique: most of the debate prompts are potential 12/15 mark questions. -End of lesson activities -Revision sessions -Cover lessons The debate format asks students to move from one side of the room or the other based on whether they think a member of the religious tradition should agree or disagree with the statement, it is also good practice to get students to move to express their opinion in response to the statement. It is also good practice to ask students for ideas other than the ones on the slide they might connect, and update the slides accordingly.
