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.
This is a quick activity that can be used as a starter or plenary for a lesson on ethical egoism or future revision lessons.

There are six key terms in total all relate to the topic of ethical egoism.

This is a fun quiz that can be used as revision or as a starter/plenary for students studying the Christianity option of the Eduqas A-Level Religious Studies course
The quiz has fifteen questions which test student knowledge of key words.
It is multiple choice - I recommend printing and then laminating so students can complete using white board pens and the resource can be reused year on year.
Alternatively you could just read out the questions and get students to write down the answers.
Answer sheet is included with correct answers marked
There is space at the bottom for the student to fill in their score out of fifteen and also write down the key words that they need to revise.
This document contains all the past paper questions from Eduqas A-Level Law exams.
This is for the contract option (no human rights questions are included).
The questions have been organised so that students can sit 40 minute blind essays.
Updated 25/03/24 to include 2023 questions
Each page contains either:
1x 25 Mark Evaluation (Paper 3)
1x 25 Mark Scenario (Paper 2)
2x 5 Mark + 1x 15 Mark Sources of Law (Paper 1)
1x 10 Mark + 1x 15 Mark English Legal Systems (Paper 1)
There are 80 pages in total.
How I Use This
I have the entire document printed.
I then hand out random essays to students every week in the run up to their exam. They then have 40 minutes to answer the question/s on their sheet.
This means each student gets a different question. When we go through the essays they’ve been given they therefore get the opportunity to look at essay plans and feedback for several essays rather than just one.
Each essay is numbered at the top of the page. Make sure you get students to write the number on the top of their answer so you know which is which!
