KS3 Evil and Suffering Unit - New for 2025

KS3 Evil and Suffering Unit that includes PowerPoint-led learning through an engaging and well-designed Work Pack. The PowerPoints are well-planned and visusally engaging to promote maximum knowledge retrieval and evoke great interest from the learners.

The PowerPoints aid a ‘plug in and play’ approach to teaching, benefiting both subject specialists and non-subject specialists alike.

In addition, the Powerpoint and the Work Pack now includes all resources that the students need to access an engaging, high-quality education.

Lessons include:
L1 - What is evil?
L2 - Where do we learn morality?
L3 - Case Study - Harold Shipman
L4 - What is the problem of evil?
L5 - Accounting for evil - the story of Job
L6 - Has evil changed over time?

Scaffolding is included in the Powerpoint itself and also in the Work Pack to ensure maximum engagement and comprehension. Challenges (extension tasks) also exist throughout the unit to further enhance skills and understanding.

There are a variety of knowledge, understanding and evaluation tasks throughout the unit, including video and debate activities that the students always love - year-on-year.

Please give feedback! I am always happy to respond to comments - whether positive or constructive - this will help to improve the quality of my resources in the future and, more importantly, the quality of pupils’ RE/RS education in general - which is what we’re all here for!
