This is the second half of out 5-star Buddhism GCSE course which you can view here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gcse-buddhism-ocr-b-aqa-20-lessons-very-high-quality-complete-resources-lesson-plans-worksheets-presentations-11410236
It has been designed around the OCR B specification, consequently it is also fully sufficient to teach the AQA specification (and will be useful to teachers teaching on Edexcel, which is slightly different to OCR B/AQA in terms of course contents)
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
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.

Meditation and mindfulness are central metacognitive skills: since metacognition is the personal reflection and exploration of thought and learning - what could be more direct that learning to carefully observe the operations of the mind through introspection? We view meditation as the ultimate form of ‘Deep Metacognition’.
Our ‘Metacognitive Meditation Pack’ focuses on secular (non-religious) meditation techniques; the pack includes everything you need to bring meditation to your school and, unlike other meditation teaching resources, ours is focused on how meditation can enhance concentration, thought-regulation and learning.
The download includes six resources:
An Introduction to Meditation
Meditation & Metacognition: How Meditation Can Boost Learning
Using Meditation to Train Concentration
Meditation & Gratitude: Improving Attitudes, Energy-Levels & Motivation
Meditation Instructions (A Multi-Use Tool With Instructions for Six Different Types of Meditation)
The Whole-School Meditation Poster Collection (Contains Ten Posters!)
It is a useful tool not just for boosting metacognitive and learning power but also for enhancing your school’s PSHE and SMSC provisions.

This session, based around metacognition learning activities that use sticky-notes (‘Post-It’ notes), focuses on the factors, skills and choices that can enhance learning-power: the aim is to get students to engage in metacognitive reflection in a fun and engaging way.
Students will need an ample supply of post-it notes that they can write on and place on the board. There are approximately 50 slides, comprised of four main styles of activity: short plenary activities are also included between the main tasks.
Simply run the PowerPoint and work your way through: skipping ahead as necessary using the integrated buttons on the presentation. The PowerPoint is designed to be used multiple times in multiple sessions: do not try to complete all tasks in one sitting!
The idea is that you will use a few slides from each activity, as well as the AfL/plenary tasks, in each session: this will keep sessions sufficiently varied to keep students engaged.
The PowerPoint is very flexible: you can use this for short sessions of 10-15 minutes, or longer sessions up to an hour in length.

The purpose of these sessions is to foster questioning skills, Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) and critical-thinking skills. Each of the sessions contains four phases:
‘What Makes a Good Question?’
Generating Philosophical Questions
Using Questions in Critical-Thinking
Questioning Experts
These PowerPoint sessions are fairly flexible and consist of many short discussion questions instead of more lengthily tasks: each one contains 25+ slides. The exercises generally involve question-generation: the prompts deal with metacognitive issues and broader questions from the wider curriculum.
