The focus of this unit is on Christianity and Islam as there is enough diversity to fulfill the exam requirements.
This lesson contains lots of information slides, ideal for home learning/revision. Easily adaptable into active learning strategies for your teaching style.
Rather fittingly perhaps, this lesson follows on from marriage. We look at the contrasting attitudes to divorce within Christianity and why some see it as ok whilst many have difficulty with it. Exam style questions included.
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.

Problem of Evil (intro)
The is an introduction to the ontological argument. An argument which can only be appreciated if one has the understanding of the philosophical terms and concepts involved.
This lesson expands the concepts such as inductive/deductive reasoning, analytic/synthetic statements, subject/predicate.
This is an organised and differentiated project designed as the culmination of the CRE SOW (also available)
I advise you adapt it to your class, the year 9s were able to do all of these but year 7 may struggle so limit it to just two tasks/topics possibly.
Students should present their research.

I’ve also thrown in my question bank for this topic.
This lesson explores Christian attitudes to sex (there is enough diversity to cover exam requirements) it goes behind the scenes to look at the idea of complimentary pairs in creation.
I really wanted to help students understand that when some Christians disagree with homosexuality it isn’t necessarily the case that they are homophobic, but rather that their world view doesn’t sustain the idea of homosexuality and so it places them in a difficult position, choosing between what they believe are eternal principles and what modern society expects. I find this helps students to understand the diversity of views.
there are exam questions included.
This is a game I've created for my year 11's. They've been struggling with keywords so this is a fun activity that can be played multiple times with them.
There are differing levels of rules so can allow for differentiation as well.
The cards have been created so that you can print them double sided and the tiles will match up (or print and photocopy 1sided - 2 sided and it should work)
I recommend laminating and printing each set of different colour paper. There are about 27 words in total.
The rules in short are,
Spread the cards out across your table with the keyword facing up
Each player takes it in turn to select a card and guess the definition of the word.
If the player guesses correctly with the reverse of the card they keep the card and add it to their pile.
If they are incorrect the leave the card to the table and put back 3 cards from their hand.
Winner is the person with the most cards at the end of the game.
Also available as bundles with
Islam, Christianity and Themes

This lesson follows the Church’s response to worldwide poverty following the AQA textbook. I have put a few questions throughout but the bulk of the lesson was designed to be an information retrieval/into a mind map activity - easily adaptable to carousel or group work. There are information sheets for each of the charities they can research.
Whole unit for Theme 1’s inductive arguments. It goes through each argument and looks at the challenges, can be done over 3 or 4 lessons.
Information heavy but ideal for adapting into your own lessons or using as is.
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.
