Weber, Religion and Social Change

This lesson looks at Weber’s work on the Protestant Work Ethic as well as giving an introduction to the Religion and Social Change topic of AQA Beliefs in Society. There is a starter looking at Martin Luther King’s “I have a Dream” speech which is based on the activity in Webb, Westergaard, Trobe and Townend (there are resources for this that you can get from the book website - obviously I couldn’t upload them here but you can get them for napier for free). The lesson includes a think, pair, share activity, an information gathering exercise, discussion and an evaluation taks on Weber. The final slide gives ideas for homework/prep for the unit. Information for the gathering exercise is included in “4 Features of Calvinism” document.
