Here is a keywords booklet for Theme E. These are the actual words and definitions from AQA, organised into a format ready for a booklet. This is also available as a bundle

This is a power point and silent debate sheet for an A level lesson of Calvin’s doctrine of accommodation. The power point is relatively brief which allows students to spend the second half of the double doing activities. I had mine do a silent debate (they had a hand out which was an extract from the Eduqas textbook and 10 mins to read it and highlight) They really did well and enjoyed it a lot, much to my surprise as this isn’t the most interesting unit for them!

This revision pack follows the AQA text book for year 2. Its scaffolded to make things easier. It covers the principles of dualism according to Descartes, including critiques, before moving onto physicalism (functionalism) and dual-aspect Monism. I hope it helps your students revise!

This lesson covers both the resurrection and the ascension, the video may take a moment to load, if it stays a blank white box the plug in hasn’t activated so the ppt just needs to be re opened. There are a variety of activities designed to be modified, dropped in and out depending on your students and time table. There is an evaluation activity looking at the evidence and arguments around the resurrection.

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 is a longer lesson on Islam, it serves as an introductory outlining the history and cultural setting before moving on to look at Sunni and Shi’a Islam. There are a few embedded videos to make things more interesting and the final activity can be adapted to make it more creative or dynamic (carousel) as the info sheet is included.

This lesson looks at the 99 names of God, as well as exploring the ideas of God’s immanence and transcendence. There’s a number of activities to choose between, I used the debate one as a table debate and had them circulating and writing on the table with the whiteboard pens!

I’ve set this up so it can be done as a carousel type activity. Included is a scaffolded worksheet for note taking. There are are questions in the powerpoint and a 12 mark question at the end. It looks at the roles of angels including Mika’il and Jibril. It follows the AQA textbook.

This Lesson covers the AQA spec, it looks at Ramadan in detail, there are also a few embedded videos. Exam questions included.

This lesson covers Ashura from Shi’a Islam, an interesting and evocative topic, great for class discussion. There are also exam style 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 lesson contains lots of information slides, ideal for home learning/revision. Easily adaptable into active learning strategies for your teaching style.

This is all my stuff on Kant, most of it gets summed up in lessons 3+4, i haven't gone through it all recently but there are a couple of different lessons to choose from and may be of use! It is very detailed and actually begins with a look at his philosophy for about 2 lessons before it even gets to the ethics.

This is an RS progress tracking sheet for KS3 but can work with any subject.

The is an introduction to the ontological argument. An argument which can only be appreciated if one has the understanding of the philosophical terms and concepts involved. This lesson expands the concepts such as inductive/deductive reasoning, analytic/synthetic statements, subject/predicate.

This is an organised and differentiated project designed as the culmination of the CRE SOW (also available) I advise you adapt it to your class, the year 9s were able to do all of these but year 7 may struggle so limit it to just two tasks/topics possibly. Students should present their research.
