A power point for our core RE lessons on the topic of 'Community Cohesion', an edexcel Religious Studies topic. This lesson also links to recent news stories and themes (e.g. freedom of speech) relating to acts of terrorism in France 2015.

Here are some GCSE Religious Studies revision activities on the topic of Medical Issues but could easily be adapted for other subjects and topics.

A little simple power point with images a key ethical questions to be explored in most RS specifications. We are moving to AQA Unit 2 & 3. Contact @Mr_Betts to share resources!

A lesson I used for an Ofsted observation lesson. It worked very well and generated some deep discussions. Clear progression throughout. The final slides were printed for students to organise into 'for&' and &';against' columns on their tables and to assist when answering the d) style question. This is based on the edexcel &'s specification for Unit 8 &';Religion & Society', though very adaptable for other specs.

Please contact @Mr_Betts on twitter for the additional resources referred to in the powerpoint.
