Resources for Religious Studies, Sociology, Philosophy, Ethics and Humanities.
We specialise in making whole units and courses for ultimate convenience and time-saving. We always aim to make the best resource for a given topic: our goal is perfection and our resources have helped educate 1 million+ students!
Zip file includes 3 units, created over 3 years teaching Religion & Philosophy at KS3 Level.
I have attached some PPT files to indicate the quality of the presentations and work.
The Zip files includes over 50 files, including worksheets and PPTs. Each unit included assessment materials.
I have a masters in philosophy and specialise in P4C: the style emphasises philosophical reflection, critical analysis and debate: it is not ‘confessional’ in its style.
The aim of the course, in part, is to prepare students with little/no knowledge of Christianity for GCSE Religious Studies.
Includes 3 Units:
‘Who was The Real Jesus?’ (YR7) [6 Lessons + Assessment]
‘Christian Beliefs & Teachings’ (YR8) [6 Lessons + Assessment]
‘Does God Exist?’ (YR9) [8 Lessons + Assessment]
I have also included a PPT for use with the ‘Son of God’ Movie (a great way to introduce students to the story of Jesus) and an ‘Understanding Levels’ Worksheet.
This bundle contains 20 model-answers for 15-mark rubrics in the new GCSE Sociology course (WJEC/EDUQAS specification).
By using these 15-mark rubrics and examplar answers over the 2-year course: it will be an excellent component of their exam preparation.

A3 DIRT Worksheet (15+ 5-star ratings!)
KS3 RE Units
Copyright Adam Godwin (2018)
A 17-page colour A4 workbook designed for the Sociological Research Methods component of the AQA GCSE Sociology course.
The work book features tasks that ask students to generate hypotheses and then plan four separate sociological studies: outlining their methods, sampling, secondary sources and justifications for their choices. It also includes a PLC for this section of the course.
This workbook is an ideal homework for students to get on with whilst covering the Research Methods unit. It is relevant to any GCSE Sociology teacher. It can also be used as the focal point of lessons.
Check out our 10-lesson unit for this section f the course! :)
This download is part of a four-lesson series on:
-Atheism & Agnosticism
-The Secularisation of Society
-Humanism
-Non-Religious Ethics & Values
The series is designed as an essential component of GCSE Religious Studies courses: regardless of the primary religion(s) studied. It is an ideal way to provide your students with additional perspectives for 12/15 mark answers: as all specifications now allow students to compare religious worldviews with non-religious ones.
This lesson is focussed on Humanism; the objectives of the lesson are:
-To describe what Humanism is
-To explain the main beliefs Humanists hold
-To analyse and debate Humanist beliefs
Implicit objectives include:
-To identify common humanist objections to religious influences on society, law and politics
-To draw out (through debate) the motivations Humanists have for rejecting religion and religious beliefs.
The download includes:
-A full lesson PowerPoint Presentation designed to the highest professional standard
-A complete lesson plan, stating: differentiation, key-words, objectives and a detailed timeline of activities.
-A double-sided A4 Worksheet
-A double-sided A4 Homework Worksheet
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or for further details.
This bundle contains 20 lessons for the ‘Crime & Deviance’ section of the new GCSE Sociology specification. This bundle was updated in March 2020 so that all of the PowerPoints are in the standard format and, consequently, more easy to edit than before.
Whilst it is useful to any teacher of Sociology, it was designed for the new AQA Sociology GCSE specification (8192).
It is designed to be a self-contained, comprehensive and complete resource: everything a teacher/department need to teach the Crime & Deviance section of the course.
Each lesson comes in a .Zip file, This file contains:
-A detailed lesson plan: highlighting differentiation, AfL, key-words, SMSC and a timeline of learning activities (.pdf)
-A premium quality, editable, PowerPoint Presentation
-Homework
[-Most of the lessons include a worksheet (double-sided A4 or A3)]
We take considerable time making the highest quality lessons and we believe these are the best GCSE Sociology resources money can buy, positive reviews are greatly appreciated.

Generate political debates instantly!
This is a 200 slide PPT, containing 198 political debates, discussions, and dilemmas.
It also contains a ‘randomiser’ slide: when clicked a random moral problem is presented to the group.
Uses:
-P4C (Philosophy for kids)
-Form time activities
-Citizenship/History/Politics/Sociology/R.S./Philosophy cover lessons
-Debating societies
-Making best use of spare time at the end of lessons
Discussions follow one of three formats, each asking students to move from one side of the room or the other to make their position clear: teachers should then use questioning to foster a debate between students, encouraging them to present reasons for their choice and defend their position.
The formats are:
-Agree or Disagree?
-Which parallel dimension would you go to?
-Which of the two laws would you put in place?
This resource is great value at £4.99 and cannot be found elsewhere:
-It clearly contributes to your school’s SMSC provision
-Furthers students’ critical thinking skills
-It allows for countless hours of discussion and debate to be structured in a focussed and engaging manner
-It would take days to reproduce yourself
-It can save vast amounts of staff time in preparing cover lessons
-It is the perfect way to make the most of any time a teacher might have left at the end of a lesson
-It deals with cross curricular issues
Please note: this resource deals with controversial issues, debates and questions that may be deemed unsuitable for younger children. It is designed for secondary school students, but can be easily adapted to younger years with appropriate amendments by their teacher.
Professionally designed for the new AQA Sociology GCSE specification (8192).
This is lesson number 1 of our 20 lesson course for this section- it is designed to introduce the requirements of the ‘Sociology of Family’ unit and its central debates.
