GCSE Hinduism - Lesson 3/20 [Karma, Three Types of Karma, Cosmic Justice, Jivan mukti, Sanchita]

This is the third in a series of lessons on Hinduism for GCSE level students for the 'Beliefs, Teachings & Practices' section of the course [section A].

It is designed around the OCR specification and is therefore suitable for teachers using the AQA specification (which is a less detailed equivalent to the OCR spec) and highly relevant to GCSE Religious Studies teachers regardless of the specification used.

The Download (comprising 3 files, within one zip file) includes:

-A complete lesson plan covering: objectives, key-words, differentiation, and lesson timeline
