GCSE Knowledge Organisers x4 - Islam

4 Resources
These great revision tools enable pupils to revise content, key words and quotes. They can be used alongside a unit or in revision in the run up to the exam. All my students have given good feedback about using them. I often give them these sheets with missing boxes to test learning or ask them to form points and development from a quote. Works well with all abilities This bundle includes all of the topics for Religion, peace and conflict through Islam.

Just War Theory + application

(1)
This lesson was planned and carried out for an official observation and was deemed outstanding. It is a revision of the content of Just War Theory and then moves on to apply the theory to real wars. This is ideal for mixed to high ability groups, but could be edited to allow for mixed/lower ability. Attached is: PPT Application table sheet Info Sheet Pupil Evaluation
PPT on homosexuality
TeacherofThoughtTeacherofThought

PPT on homosexuality

(0)
This is a lesson on homosexuality that was designed for Y11, but can be used for A level. The provocative images on the front are meant to set the scene for the focus of the lesson: Should homosexuality be an ethical issue or not? I also discuss the media's role in this discussion with use of the images.

Utlilitarianism: application of Bentham's Hedonic Calculus

(0)
It is sometimes hard to assess the success of the hedonic calculus. For years my colleagues and I found it hard to get pupils to reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of the hedonic calculus. This resource aims to change this. Pupils are given the worksheet in order to see how simple, yet how time consuming and contradictory this theory is. It works a treat - especially for homework. Great for A02 focus.
The intro to Ethical theory (Explained by the ill fated legend of Abi and Joe)

The intro to Ethical theory (Explained by the ill fated legend of Abi and Joe)

(0)
This incredibly well used resource is a fantastic way for budding ethicists to understand the major factors underpinning ethical theory. The PPT tells the story of Abi and Joe (in an interactive manner!). Abi, driven by acts surrounding motive and not rule or consequence ends up falling into trouble and other characters act in seemingly contentious ways because of their focus of moral thinking. In the time I have been teaching this, teachers, parents and pupils have commented on it's clarity and usefulness. I hope you agree!

Judaism in the ancient Middle East

(0)
This lesson can be stand alone or can exist is a scheme of work on Judaism or any focus on the ancient middle east. The PPT is simple and focuses on the map surrounding the Genesis story. It also contains a focus on some polytheistic religions which existed at the time of the inception of Judaism. The worksheet is detailed and focuses on what it meant to be a member of Israel in the ancient days.

Pacifism

(2)
This lesson focuses on the different beliefs and examples of pacifism. It follows my other lesson on Violence and Peace and comes with a worksheet and task which should bring excellent learning. It also has a meditation exercise that can be used to the last task of the PPT. This is a really good task which the pupils engage with and always walk out with a smile!
