AQA GCSE RE RS - Christianity Beliefs - Complete Unit - 9 Lessons

11 Resources
This is a full unit for the 9-1 AQA GCSE RS course. Please consult individual lesson pages (uploaded individually) for detail on each. The lessons are designed to be taught as doubles but are easily adaptable to squeeze into shorter periods (as I do because we have an odd timetable) I recommend doing them in this order, the lessons are as follows: Lesson 1: Nature of God Lesson 2: The Trinity Lesson 3: Creation Lesson 4: Incarnation and Son of God Lesson 5: The crucifixion Lesson 6: Resurrection and ascension Lesson 7: Sin, Salvation and Atonement Lesson 8: Heaven and Hell Lesson 9: Problem of Evil I’ve also included the keywords revision card game. Many of the lessons have timers and videos embedded, the videos take a few seconds to load, if they don’t work simply reopen the power point. I’ve kept the pricing low, all of us work hard for our money. Thank you!

AQA GCSE RE RS - Islam Practices L6 Id-ul-Fitr & Id-ul-Adha festivals.

(0)
This large lesson covers both Eids. There are also exam questions included. For Id-ul-Adha I have included some links to environmental ethics, you may not wish to show some of these images to you class or go down that road, but I found my year 10s really got into a debate about whether it was necessary to sacrifice that many animals today.

AQA GCSE RE RS - Theme B: Religion and Life - WHOLE UNIT (6 lessons)

I focus the majority of this unit on Christianity as there is enough diversity to fulfill the exam requirements. However, it does still include Islam when appropriate. This lesson contains lots of information slides, ideal for home learning/revision. Easily adaptable into active learning strategies for your teaching style. There are videos embedded using the web player app. You need to click to activate the plug in on the embed. Sometimes they don’t work but normally reloading the PPT solves the problem! Also including the key words booklet to go with the unit. Lesson 1: Origins of the Universe Lesson 2: Value of the world Lesson 3: The Environment and Pollution Lesson 4: Use of Animals Lesson 5: Abortion Lesson 6: Euthanasia

AQA GCSE RE RS - Christianity Beliefs - L9 Problem of Evil

(0)
This is a bit shorter than my normal lessons, it does touch on some high level concepts but what you will probably find is that many of your students will already come with ideas on the topic. When I did this with year 9 they just wanted to talk and talk and ask lots of questions and they really enjoyed the more philosophy side of it. Consequently the lesson leans more to class discussion and you can insert many debate activities in, if you have time.
A level Religious Studies - Christian concepts - The Trinity: the Filioque Controversy

A level Religious Studies - Christian concepts - The Trinity: the Filioque Controversy

(0)
This the 2nd lesson on the Trinity. It starts with a reminder on the heresies around the Trinity (can be used as starter). It then details how the Filioque controversy came about and goes into bit of detail on the Great Schism of 1054 (please do make it clear that the Church was slowly drifting a part due to the fall of the Roman empire.) I’ve made an attempt to explain what ‘proceeds’ from the Father and the Son mean and how this idea fits into Easter and Western Theology.

Paranormal Investigations RE Themed lessons X files

Paranormal Investigations RE Themed lessons X files

(1)
This is a really fun couple of lessons, aimed at KS3 Y8-9. They take the role of investigators, looking into detailed 'case files' which include eye-witness testimonies, scientific reports and images. There are also videos contained within the power point. Topics include reincarnation, NDE, Mediums/Ghosts. I would recommend turning out the lights, have some lamps or fairy lights (at least initially) and play the X files music while the students come in. They get really excited and enjoy it. I'd also recommend photocopying onto sugar paper to add to the effect, printing each activity on different colour helps too.

Natural Moral Law Aquinas Year 12 -13 A Level

(0)
A level lesson on Aquinas' Natural Moral Law, originally used as a revision lesson but easily works for a standard lesson, probably enough content to run over 2-3 hours of teaching on. Based on the new AQA A level but caters well enough for previous exam boards specs. Content covers key elements such as: Background/history Key features (absolutist/deontological) Theory - Telos, Eudaimonia 4 Laws Precepts Interior/exterior acts Double effect. PLEASE REVIEW :)

AQA GCSE RS -7 Gender equality - Theme A Relationships and Families

(0)
In this lesson we explore the issue of gender equality. It looks at what it is and what it look/ doesn’t look like. A provocative starter includes images of 1950s sexist adds given out, great for getting discussion going. The lesson focuses on how Christians perceive gender difference as a good thing, but that it might mean there are different but equal roles men and women should play. It looks at the reasons why some Christians think this and why some do not. Lots of opportunity for discussion throughout.
