This is the Personal Learning Checklist (PLC) for the religion of Hinduism for GCSE level students following the OCR Full-Course Specification: for the 'Beliefs, Teachings &; Practices' section of the course [section A].
In other words: it is a PLC covering the topics students need to know for the first year of study, for the religion of Hinduism
If you are teaching this religion for OCR R.S. - this is a great tool for your students to help them keep track of their learning, and help you monitor the classes strengths and weaknesses. It serves as a highly efficient form of self-assessment.
On the reverse of the sheet are other useful measures that allow teachers to gauge a student's confidence and reflective abilities.
The Personal Learning Checklists (PLC):
-Allows the student to see clearly what they need to know for the exam.
-Allows the student to communicate to their teacher how they can be best helped.
-Gets the student to analyse their progress in relation to their target grade.
-Encourages students to reflect in a structured manner on their necessary revision focusses.
-Gets students to establish both a revision and an exam technique focus.
This bundle comprises the ideal resources for teaching about Buddhism at Middle School level.
The course specification is based around the British OCR exam specification for Religious Studies (teaching Buddhism) at GCSE level (i.e. 8th, 9th and 10th grade in the US system).
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.

This bundle is for a collection of ‘Philosophy Boxes’ lessons/sessions.
Each session comprises a P4C lesson/session that can be used 2-3 times with the same group.
The topics included in this bundle are:
-The Biggest Questions of Philosophy
-Metaphysics
-Epistemology
-Ethics
-Philosophy of Identity
-Christian Philosophy
-Christian Ethics
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 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

A3 DIRT Worksheet (15+ 5-star ratings!)
KS3 RE Units
This is the first half of out 5-star Buddhism GCSE course which you can view here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gcse-buddhism-ocr-b-aqa-20-lessons-very-high-quality-complete-resources-lesson-plans-worksheets-presentations-11410236
It has been designed around the OCR B specification, consequently it is also fully sufficient to teach the AQA specification (and will be useful to teachers teaching on Edexcel, which is slightly different to OCR B/AQA in terms of course contents)
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
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.
“This moment is the only moment.”

KS3 RE Units
A Personal Learning Checklist [and DIRT worksheet] for A2-Level Religious Studies (new specification).
Based on the OCR specification, for the Hinduism (Developments in Hindu Thought) section of the course
Allows for a complete review of learning for the Hindu Philosophy section of the A2-Level course. It covers the ‘Development’, ‘Society’ and ‘Challenges’ sections of the course.
The first side is a PLC with two ways for the student to rate confidence and the second side features a key-word check as well as various DIRT tasks.
This double-sided A4 worksheet is great for:
-Revision lessons

-Directed Individual Reflection Time (DIRT)

This is an ideal tool for your students to help them keep track of their learning, and help you monitor the classes strengths and weaknesses. It serves as a highly efficient form of self-assessment.
On the reverse of the sheet are other useful measures that allow teachers to gauge a student’s confidence and reflective abilities.
The worksheet:
-Allows the student to see clearly what they need to know for the exam.
-Allows the student to communicate to their teacher how they can be best helped.
-Gets the student to analyse their progress in relation to their target grade.
-Encourages students to reflect in a structured manner on their necessary revision focusses.
-Gets students to establish both a revision and an exam technique focus.
