Complete KS5 Philosophy Resources for OCR Religious Studies [Over 200 files]

(3)
This resource pack is the sum total of three years teaching OCR Philosophy & Ethics, and contains all resources necessary for the teaching of the philosophy half of the course: assuming your focus is on Christianity. It contains over 200 files, covering both AS & A2. Most of the resources have been made myself and cannot be found elsewhere. For copyright reasons I have not included the videos, instead I have included a file listing the relevant YouTube videos referred to in some lessons. Most topics have complete printable notes, most have PPTS or associated lessons, and Worksheets: some of the resources are offered as ‘works in progress’. A large variety of assessment materials and feedback tools have been included. Certainly an excellent resource for new teachers of the subject, since this download contains everything I used whilst successfully teaching the subject myself. Given the hundreds of hours that have gone into creating these resources I am proud to sell them at the very reasonable introductory price of £9.99
