Complete teaching resources for KS3 Religious Studies topic 'What does it mean to be moral?'
Originally designed for mixed ability year 9 classes.
The aim of this module is to:
-Introduce utilitarianism and deontology to students
-Foster debates about the nature of morality as well as specific moral issues.
-Introduce the concept of animal rights.
-Explain religious attitudes to animal rights.
Specific lesson topics are:
-The nature of morality
-Debating Moral Issues
-Utilitarianism
-Deontology
-Animal Rights / Animal Testing
-Religious Attitudes to Animal Rights
-Assessment Lesson
Lesson Powerpoints are contained in a single file.
This bundle contains 20 lessons for the ‘Social Stratification’ section of the new GCSE Sociology specification. This bundle was updated in March 2020 so that all of the PowerPoints are in the standard format and, consequently, more easy to edit than before.
Whilst it is useful to any teacher of Sociology, it was designed for the new AQA Sociology GCSE specification (8192) taught from September 2017.
It is designed to be a self-contained, comprehensive and complete resource: everything a teacher/department need to teach the social stratification section of the course.
Each lesson comes in a .Zip file which contains:
-A detailed lesson plan: highlighting differentiation, AfL, key-words, SMSC and a timeline of learning activities (.pdf)
-A premium quality, editable, PowerPoint Presentation
-Homework
[-Most of the lessons include a worksheet (double-sided A4 or A3)]
We take considerable time making the highest quality lessons and we believe these are the best GCSE Sociology resources money can buy, positive reviews are greatly appreciated (and rewarded, just email me).
Our intention is to have the other units of the new GCSE Sociology course available by June.

This bundle contains ten fully resourced and professionally designed KS4 Religious Studies lessons as well as additional teaching materials for GCSE Religious Studies: Thematic Studies.
It has been created for the latest AQA GCSE Religious Studies Specification and covers the thematic study 'Religion, Crime & Punishment' (Theme E) and focuses on Christian teachings. It should be useful to all GCSE Religious Studies teachers: even if using other specifications.
The download includes 10 Lessons, though some can be used over two 1-hour periods:
1) Introduction
2) Central Debates
3) The Causes of Crime
4) Responses to Crime
5) Christian Teachings About Crime & Criminals
6) The Aims & Effectiveness of Punishment
7) ICT Suite Lesson
8) Corporal & Capital Punishment
9) Assessment Lesson
10) Unit Overview (Video-Learning Worksheet Lesson)
The bundle also includes:
-A Personal Learning Checklist (PLC) for this unit
-A DIRT/AfL Worksheet
-The Christian Ethical Debate Generator
For most RE teachers this download includes everything you need to teach this thematic study, not including the comparative religion aspect of the thematic study.
Lessons about comparative religious traditions will be released at a later date as "bolt-ons" to this 10-lesson unit.
My ambition was to make the best available thematic studies resources on Tes, so I hope you like it!
If you are pleased with this bundle, please leave a review so that other RE teachers know that it is worth getting :)

Thanks to all of those who have left reviews below and helped this to become the “go-to” resource for teaching Buddhism at GCSE level.
This bundle contains 20 high-quality lessons, each with lesson plans, presentations, and most with worksheets.
It is suitable for all GCSE specifications: especially AQA and OCR.
It covers all necessary material for the ‘Beliefs, Teachings & Practices’ section (Section A) of the course in relation to BUDDHISM.
It is the product of many weeks work: I have aimed to make these resources such that every lesson would receive a good or outstanding rating if inspected.
All lesson downloads include:
-A detailed lesson plan: explaining objectives, differentiation, cross-curricular aims, AfL tasks, and an activity timeline.
-A presentation file designed to the highest professional standard.
-Integrated and varied AfL
-A suggested homework task
The course features 15 worksheets, a ‘Buddhist board-game’ template, various ‘knowledge hunt’ activities and also features an IT Suite Lesson. It is designed to be a complete course for the first year of GCSE Religious Studies teaching.
Downloading this bundle will certainly save you many many hours of preparation time: as a practising Buddhist I hope it will allow Religious Studies Teachers to teach the Buddhist component of their chosen GCSE specification.
Positive reviews are warmly welcomed: I have made this course with pride and hope you will find it comprehensive and useful.
“May you be happy, may you be healthy, may you be peaceful.”

Generate instant ethical debates!
This is a 200 slide PPT, containing 198 moral/ethical debates, discussions, and dilemmas.
It also contains a ‘randomiser’ slide: when clicked a random moral problem is presented to the group.
Uses:
-P4C (Philosophy for kids)
-Form time activities
-R.S./Philosophy/Citizenship cover lessons
-Debating societies
-Making best use of spare time at the end of lessons
Discussions follow one of four formats, each asking students to move from one side of the room or the other to make their position clear: teachers should then use questioning to foster a debate between students, encouraging them to present reasons for their choice and defend their position.
The formats are:
-“Which is more moral?” (students chose between two options)
-“Agree or disagree?” (where students respond to a presented statement about morality of a moral issue)
-“Who do you save?” (where students need to save one of two people/options, and justify the morality of their decision)
-“Moral or immoral?” (where students cast their judgement on a given action, event or person.
This resource is great value at £4.99 and cannot be found elsewhere:
-It clearly contributes to the Moral aspect of your school’s SMSC provision
-It allows for countless hours of discussion and debate to be structured in a focussed and engaging manner.
-It would take days to reproduce yourself.
-It can save vast amounts of staff time in preparing cover lessons
-It is the perfect way to make the most of any time a teacher might have left at the end of a lesson.
-It deals with cross curricular issues
Please note: this resource deals with controversial issues, debates and questions that may be deemed unsuitable for younger children. It is designed for secondary school students, but can be easily adapted to younger years with appropriate amendments by their teacher.
This is one of twelve lessons comprising the ‘Introduction Unit’ for the new GCSE Sociology specifications (suitable for AQA, & WJEC/EDUQAS) . Save over 50% by getting the 12 lesson pack!
This is the first lesson, it introduced the concept of Sociology and asks: “What is Sociology?” and “Why is Sociology Important?”
This download includes:
-A detailed lesson plan: highlighting differentiation, AfL, key-words, SMSC and a timeline of learning activities (.pdf)
-A premium quality PPT Show (fully animated) that covers the entire lesson (.ppsm & .ppsx formats)
-An A3 Worksheet (double-sided)
-Homework
All lessons are designed around the new GCSE specification, certainly useful for any GCSE specification however. We take considerable time making the highest quality lessons, positive reviews are greatly appreciated.
This bundle contains 20 GCSE Sociology assessments in the form of practice exam sections. It is designed for the latest AQA specification.
Each of the 20 exam sections is half a full exam and takes 50 minutes for students to complete. Each of the 20 exam sections contain a standard set of questions including two 12-mark rubrics: a model answer for one of them is included for each assessment. Each of the 20 exam sections is accompanied by a mark-scheme.
In short, in this bundle you get 20 exam sections, 20 mark-schemes, and 20 model 12-mark answers.
This bundle should take care of most (if not all) of your GCSE Sociology assessment needs: students should ideally complete these 20 assessments over the 2-year course; data-collection of results allows for easy progress tracking. You may prefer to use them in the run-up to formal public exams: they are ideal for this also!
There are five assessments for each of the four main topics: Crime & Deviance, Education, Family & Social Stratification.
BONUS RESOURCES:
Assessment Feedback Worksheets x2 (A4)
Please note:
These are not official exam scripts, I do not work for AQA: I have aimed to make reasonable practice exam-questions based on the specimen material already provided. The papers follow the official AQA format and look like official papers. All items are editable: if you think the 12-mark model-answers are too intimidating, feel free to reduce them.

This is a great metacognition activity to use at the end of your lessons! Download it for free and use it today!
Description:
This straightforward activity should be run at the end of a lesson: it’s a quick activity that encourages students to reflect on metacognitive factors that have helped them to learn or presented obstacles to learning. Students are presented with a question and move around the room to show their response, providing an opportunity for further metacognitive questioning from the teacher.
How To Use:
Simply run the PowerPoint Show at the end of your lesson (when there are 5-10 minutes remaining)
Each slide presents your class with four options: they must move to different corners of the room to indicate their answer!
Once students have moved: it is an ideal opportunity to ask questions that lead them towards insight surrounding their own learning and how they can increase their learning-power in future lessons.
What’s Included:
A PowerPoint Show (.ppsx)
