This interactive PowerPoint aims to revise ‘random’ content through 28 different exam-style questions. My students sometimes miss the focus or don’t understand exactly what the question is asking for. So, this revision task gets them to think about the question itself and retrieve key learning associated with the question (AO1). I also ask them to make a judgement (AO2) on the essay title so as to practise both skills required for the essays. Created for the OCR specification, but can be adapted for other exam boards easily, due to the assessment objectives being the same. Resource covers all Philosophy units: Ancient Philosophical Influences Soul, Mind, Body Arguments from Observation Arguments from Reason Religious Experience Problem of Evil Nature of God Religious Language 20th Century Perspectives Download as PowerPoint and PDF - for compatibility. In addition, a ‘printer’ version is included in the file so this can be used as a paper resource/handout. Please give feedback!

These clear and engaging revision sheets are indented for independent study or to aid revision for the scholar Epicurus in the topics of Ancient Philosophy and Utilitarianism. Each sheet is downloaded as an A3 Word document and an A4 PDF, for compatibility. I felt it was important to make these sheets as my students sometimes misunderstood the context of the philosophers or the chronology of the arguments (and responses). Therefore, these context sheets aim to tackle these misconceptions and re-examine the theory and/or philosopher within the context in which they should be viewed. A sample context sheet can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/a-level-anselm-and-ontological-argument-context-and-information-sheet-12316408 Additional topics and/or philosophers can be found in my Tes shop!
