This lesson is very detailed, it looks at the main challenges to ethical naturalism by Hume and G.E.Moore. Ideal for adapting to your lesson.

This lesson focuses mainly on Christianity and looks at marriage and it’s value for Christians. It thinks about the nature and purpose of marriage for Christians. You can’t teach this without touching on the difficulty of homosexual marriage for Christians, this idea is explored in previous lessons but comes up again here. There are a couple videos, one is a nice one of the recent royal wedding, I found my students went all gushy and it was a nice moment as a class. The activity associated is about spotting the symbolism and understanding what it says about the beliefs.

This is a really big lesson for worship and prayer, you may find it easy to split in two. It covers the who the whats of these different styles. I’ve also now updated it to include lots of videos through, which the students really like. My year 10s like to write EVERYTHING down, its good training for A level and will help the revise, however you may want to just turn them into crib sheets if you want the to note take. The activity is a sorting one but in the interests of time I recommend using highlighters, the hands are also included, it is a way of listing advantages and disadvantages - thinking along the lines of 12 mark question. In the powerpoint I’ve included a video that has stuff to do with speaking in tongues (its a long video but you’d start from about 11 min in. Obviously, skip this if you’re not confident in explaining this belief and don’t want to open a can of worms, most people find it a bit freaky. If you do include it, I recommend talking them through the video and explaining that these people are having a ‘religious experience’ and it’s their emotions on display. If the videos don’t load after a few moments, re launch the power point.

This a revision matrix I’ve created to help my students pick up more marks on the influence questions. A number of them were failing to distinguish the influence from the belief hopefully this helps. It can also be used in class.

This lesson looks at both Zakah and Khums and its importance within Islam. Exam questions in the power point.

I focus the majority of this unit on Christianity as there is enough diversity to fulfill the exam requirements. However, it does still include Islam when appropriate.

This is a game I've created for my year 11's. They've been struggling with keywords so this is a fun activity that can be played multiple times with them. PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS JUST A SAMPLE SET. There are differing levels of rules so can allow for differentiation as well. The cards have been created so that you can print them double sided and the tiles will match up (or print and photocopy 1sided - 2 sided and it should work) I recommend laminating and printing each set of different colour paper. There are about 60 words in total. The rules in short are, Spread the cards out across your table with the keyword facing up Each player takes it in turn to select a card and guess the definition of the word. If the player guesses correctly with the reverse of the card they keep the card and add it to their pile. If they are incorrect the leave the card to the table and put back 3 cards from their hand. Winner is the person with the most cards at the end of the game. Also available as bundle Also available Christianity Islam Themes A - F Thanks

This worksheet was designed for the RE classroom as a way of helping students to develop their critical thinking and discussion skills (necessary for higher marks). It's quite simple but works really well and highly adaptable. Each finger can be used as a different point. The students then write inside the hands (something they find strangely enjoyable). This helps them see and remember what they have written and what they can then add. It helps them to plan answers as well as generate ideas for discussion. Each hand is for/against. Thanks!

Here’s a little flyer, ideal for giving to students and parents at options. Got a big list of vocations linked to RS on it as well. SAVE RE!
