Team based quiz for AS students studying the teleological argument. Activities could be slightly adapted depending upon exam board/quotes you would like students to memorise/learn. I created one of these for each AS topic prior to their mock exam.

A series of homeworks ready to use for Edexcel's Unit 8. Religion & Society based on Christianity & Islam. Perfect to hand out in class or to upload to platforms such as show my homework. In each homework students must correctly match up the answers with the corresponding question. There is also an answer sheet for teachers. In the lesson due in we then complete a 10 question class quiz (same homework Q's but without notes) and collect in the scores. We have found this has a big impact - lower ability students simply learn the facts., higher ability must match them up - differentiate the homework! You can also view the class quiz leaderboard I have uploaded as this can be used alongside the homeworks/quizzes and add a competitive element to even homework/fact learning! L1 homework questions/answers are marked using the first ten and then second ten to fit in with how the scoreboard works however. I will be adding a few more questions from this topic - even if you get the resource you can get the additions.

A series of short answer questions related to any A Level course studying Kant/Deontology. Students rate their own understanding out of 10, review any areas they need to review and then the teacher also rates their understanding for mark book purposes. This also allows for whole class intervention and to easily observe common areas of misunderstanding. These can be used to consolidate learning as homework questions.

A series of questions to consolidate learning on the teleological argument. Students rate their own understanding out of 10, comment upon areas they need to review and finally the teacher also assesses their understanding for mark book purposes. These AFL sheets could be used as homework tasks to consolidate learning. It allows you to easily identify common misunderstandings in the class quickly before moving on to new information.

This resources provides students with signpost words / key features of theories and arguments for the topics (Edexcel AS Religious Studies / Philosophy & Ethics) - Teleological argument - Problem of evil and suffering - Situation ethics - Utilitarianism Prepare for students as a card sort - each topic in a different colour. Project different past questions onto the board, students must select most relevant headings and order from the cards to address the question. Repeat this process and swap topics around between pairs. Follow-up activity could include mind mapping what students know about the key features/how they connect then pass the mind map on to another pair to add what they think has been missed.

A series of activities for any AS/A2 Religious Studies / Philosophy & Ethics specification on the Ontological argument. Includes key word match ups, making links, example introduction and conclusion, colour coding strengths/weakness to build evaluations and a pop quiz.

A series of revision activities for most AS Religious Studies/Philosophy & Ethics specifications that include Utilitarianism.

A template to assist summarising or condensing any piece of text or extract. Would be suitable for a range of theory/content heavy subjects. For each paragraph/section students write down two trigger words and expand upon their significance in the box beside it. Once completed they join with a learning partner and fold their worksheet so that only the two trigger words are visible. Students must then verbalise their learning to one another and then feedback what they have be taught by their partner.

A lesson I prepared for an Ofsted inspection 2014-15 for an A2 Philosophy & Ethics Class. The structure/style/activities could be adapted for any key stage and subject. Please do leave a comment here on to @Mr_Betts
