‘Who was The Real Jesus?’ (YR7) [6 Lessons + Assessment]
‘Christian Beliefs & Teachings’ (YR8) [6 Lessons + Assessment]
‘Does God Exist?’ (YR9) [8 Lessons + Assessment]
I have also included a PPT for use with the ‘Son of God’ Movie (a great way to introduce students to the story of Jesus) and an ‘Understanding Levels’ Worksheet.

Copyright Adam Godwin (2018)
This download is part of a four-lesson series on:
-Atheism & Agnosticism
-The Secularisation of Society
-Humanism
-Non-Religious Ethics & Values
The series is designed as an essential component of GCSE Religious Studies courses: regardless of the primary religion(s) studied. It is an ideal way to provide your students with additional perspectives for 12/15 mark answers: as all specifications now allow students to compare religious worldviews with non-religious ones.
This lesson is focussed on Humanism; the objectives of the lesson are:
-To describe what Humanism is
-To explain the main beliefs Humanists hold
-To analyse and debate Humanist beliefs
Implicit objectives include:
-To identify common humanist objections to religious influences on society, law and politics
-To draw out (through debate) the motivations Humanists have for rejecting religion and religious beliefs.
The download includes:
-A full lesson PowerPoint Presentation designed to the highest professional standard
-A complete lesson plan, stating: differentiation, key-words, objectives and a detailed timeline of activities.
-A double-sided A4 Worksheet
-A double-sided A4 Homework Worksheet
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or for further details.
This bundle contains 18 revision sessions. The content covered by the sessions is the complete KS5 'Philosophy of Religion' and 'Religion & Ethics' material for both AS and A2 level under the new OCR specification.
Bundles for specific religions you may be covering can be purchased separately. This download is relevant to all KS5 Religious Studies teachers using the OCR specification as it deals with the philosophy and ethics components of the course.
The sessions use a variety of mind-mapping, discussion and debate tasks to cover the designated section of the specification.
The revision sessions can be used in a number of ways:
-As revision sessions during a revision period of term-time leading up to exams
-Sandwiched between lessons as they are taught throughout the year as a way of solidifying and assessing learning
-During extra-curricular time (KS5 Religious Studies Clubs)
This revision session features:
-A 'grid of learning' post-it task (to focus students on the day's topic and refresh their memories of the basics)
-A 'competitive mind-mapping task (which can be completed on the whiteboard or on A3 paper)
-A silent debate task (with 6 x A3 silent debate worksheets in an editable .doc file) [nb. allowing group conversation, instead of silence, is also an effective approach]
-Debates that ask students to move from one side of the room or the other and verbalise a defence of their position in response to a statement or rubric.
-A concluding 'One thing I am still uncertain about...' post-it question.
This session can be purchased individually or as part of various bundles depending on your needs.
Please note: the cover picture depicts some of the activities that make up this revision session, the wording within those tasks is adapted to the topic specified above and may differ from the wording depicted. Contents and tasks may vary slightly between revision sessions. The cover photo is, however, a fair depiction of the contents of the lesson.

Instantly create random philosophical debates for any KS3-5 classroom or tutor group. Created by a philosophy teacher with a masters in philosophy and designed to take students as deep as possible in as short a time as possible!
This is a 200 slide PPT, containing 198 philosophical debates, discussions, and dilemmas.

Uses:
-P4C (Philosophy for kids)

-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:
-True or False
-Which Philosopher is more correct?
-Agree or Disagree?
-Which is more True?
This resource is great value at £4.99 and cannot be found elsewhere:
-It clearly contributes to your school’s SMSC provision
-Furthers students’ critical thinking skills
-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 download is for GCSE Religious Studies teachers covering Buddhism as a comparative religion.
It is especially useful for teachers using the AQA/OCR exam specifications.
The workbook contains:
-Revision notes on all of the topics on the specification
-Revision activities
-A glossary of key-words
-A personal learning checklist
-Crosswords & key-word word-searches (just for fun!)
-An extensive selection of religious artwork
It is a 40 page Word document (easily amended, edited or added to).
It is intended to be printed as a double-sided A4 booklet and given to students as a revision aid.
It is ideal for teachers without textbooks, or who cannot allow students to take textbooks home. It can also be given to students at the start of the course and will help them with homework tasks and revision.
Positive reviews always greatly appreciated.

The Philosophy Boxes Method is a new approach to P4C designed for students in KS1, 2 & 3: it is graphically stimulating, engaging, and fun. This download is also suitable for older students: but the format was designed with younger students in mind.
The topic of this Philosophy Boxes download is “Multiculturalism & Celebrating Other Cultures”.
The aim of Philosophy Boxes is to bring philosophy and critical thinking into every subject at every level: we believe that any subject becomes philosophy when students are asked the right questions and when they think about a topic hard enough and on the deepest (most fundamental) level.
The Philosophy Boxes Method presents students with a set of ‘mystery boxes’, when a student selects one of the boxes they are presented with 1 of 21 discussion/debate activities [that use 1 of 8 different formats].
The presentation has integrated AfL so that teachers can test knowledge at any point in the lesson. There are 10 different AfL slides to choose from.
The design is colourful, animated, fun and engaging: all activities require movement and teachers can decide whether students are expressing their ideas purely verbally or by using post-it notes.
The nature of the design is that it can be used for short sessions (5-10 minutes) or much longer sessions (up to 2 hours!) - it allows for classroom practitioners to be flexible and adaptable. It can, therefore, be used in lessons or as a tutor-time activity.
The download includes a PowerPoint Show; if you would like an editable PPT presentation so that you can make your own ‘Philosophy Boxes’ presentation you will need to download the template here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-the-philosophy-boxes-method-template-for-creating-your-own-philosophy-boxes-lessons-p4c-p4k-11463227
A complete selection of Philosophy Boxes lessons can be found here: https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?&q=philosophy+boxes+godwin86
You can also save money by purchasing lessons as bundles.
I went through all my old resources to find relevant files for the ‘The Existence of God & Revelation’ theme of new specification and compiled them into this 90+ file bundle. Resources focus on Christianity but I will be making new resources for Buddhism soon.
Please note: most of the video files have been removed from this download due to space limitations (the maximum upload is about 200mb) - but the video files are all available on YouTube.
Update: 2018
Please note that I have now released updated resource packs for the ‘Thematic Studies’ component of the GCSE course.
These can be found be clicking here.
They are considerably higher quality, better value and generally superior to these older files in every way so have a look!
