This is a fun starter activity or plenary for students who are studying the Ethics Unit of A-Level Religious Studies. Students are given one of the six trigger cards. They then have to go around the room and find three of the smaller cards that fit underneath their ‘heading’. The smaller cards contain statements, quotes and key words that relate to each heading. The printed sheet is in order, so the first row relates to the first heading, the second the second etc. A few items could arguably fit under multiple headings. Can be used as a starter or a plenary. I use this as part of a DIRT lesson following a 20 mark essay on Finnis. This is designed for the Eduqas exam board but will suit other A-Level exam boards as well.
