-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]

-A PPT with full instructions for the game and 2 x AfL slides
-A printable game board (2 players)
The game is easily customisable: simply change the task stated on the PPT (different square colours are associated with different revision activities).
Note: There is a larger, A3 version available with more spaces (which takes a whole lesson for two players) here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/key-word-revision-board-game-template-ppt-afl-full-revision-lesson-for-any-subject-a3-11415361
This lesson is for revising key-words, it is useful for any subject that features key-words.
It requires colour A3 printing.
It includes:
-A PPT with full instructions for the game and 2 x AfL slides
-A printable game board (2-4 players)
The game is easily customisable: simply change the task stated on the PPT (different square colours are associated with different revision activities).
This lesson was unofficially graded as "outstanding" during my second year of teaching by a Leadership Team/HoD observation.
It is for GCSE Level Religious Studies: Christianity, Philosophy of Religion and covers the topics of:
The Miracles of Jesus
Types of Miracles
Hume's Definition of Miracles
It features numerous learning activities (debates, "write a newspaper article", videos) and AfL tasks (including a 6-mark GCSE exam question with peer assessment).
This download includes:
-A full lesson plan, with differentiation, key-words, AfL and a learning-activity-timeline.
-A PPT for the lesson
-A worksheet
-2 Videos
Positive reviews greatly appreciated :)
The worksheet can either be set as a homework task or to structure an IT-Suite Lesson.
It asks students to create presentation with quiz questions and lists differentiated options for them to choose from. The reverse of the A4 sheet features peer-assessment tables for students to rate one another's work according to specified criteria.
The download also includes a PPT with instructions (needing minimal customisation) and AfL slides.
The lesson should, ideally, use 40 minutes for students to create the presentation in pairs and then 20 minutes to quiz and peer assess one another.
The worksheet is easily customisable to other topics.
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 20 lessons scheme of work lays out, lesson by lesson, the topics to be covered for the teaching of Hinduism at GCSE Level in the first year (as one of two religions).
It is based on the Full-Course OCR B Specification for Religious Studies released in 2016.
The SoW outlines everything that needs to be taught in the first section of the course [Beliefs and teachings & Practices] (where Buddhism is taught alongside another religion of your choosing).
In short, this scheme of work covers teachers who:
-Want to teach Buddhism as a comparative religion at GCSE level (using the OCR B Specification)
-Want a course-design for a secondary/high-school level unit on Buddhism.
Each lesson will, in time, have resources to accompany them in our shop:
https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/godwin86
We hope to offer every single lesson on this SoW, allowing any R.S. teacher on the OCR B specification to teach Hinduism throughout the first year of the 2-year GCSE course.
Based on the new AQA Sociology specification/mark-schemes. This is a double-sided feedback sheet for 30 mark answers.
It can be use for self, peer or teacher assessment and includes target and correction setting. It is designed for 'tick-box' assessing so as to save the teacher time, with additional space for the student or teacher to write specific targets.
As a Word document, it is easily customisable: if your class frequently struggle with one issue you can update the target setting box and it will save you having to write the same targets again and again.
