-Based around formulating arguments for and against given statements and is therefore perfect for practising analysis and evaluation
-Easily customisable and reusable (just change the statements you wish for students to discuss)
Designed for teachers using the new OCR Religious Studies AS/A2 specification (H173/H573)
This revision session covers the ‘Knowledge of God’s Existence’ section of the specification. The topic is a part of the ‘Christianity’ component of the AS course.
This download is 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:

-A 'competitive mind-mapping task (which can be completed on the whiteboard or on A3 paper)

-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.

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 :)

The topic of this Philosophy Boxes download is ‘Body Changes’. It is one of a series of PSHE-P4C sessions designed for KS2-4 PSHE students. The download comprises a P4C lesson/session that can be used multiple times with the same group.
The Philosophy Boxes Method is a new approach to PSHE designed for students in KS2-4: 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. In this context: ‘Philosophy Boxes’ represents a more student-centred ‘debate & discussion’ approach to PSHE issues.
The aim of our ‘Philosopy Boxes’ PSHE sessions is to bring deep, critical thinking to PSHE, exploring PSHE using P4C (Philosophy for Children) debates and discussions. One advantage to the method is that it helps students to practice their social skills through the activities.
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 (in 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 topic of this Philosophy Boxes download is “Multiculturalism & Celebrating Other Cultures”.
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].
