This is a powerpoint presentation for a lesson which sits at the start of delivering the ethics Themes for GCSE RS. This is from a Judaism perspective. Whilst written for the AQA Themes, it does fit the same Themes for any of the exam boards. The point of the materials is to show students that they already know lots about the Themes, which they can use as they learn in more depth. It is also to show them that a few teachings go a long way. It is true that the exam boards want to see specific teachings for topics, and want students to apply those Themes, rather than using the same few generic quotes every time. However, it is also true that those generic quotes do have a multitude of applications as they are what the religion boils down to in its basic moral guidance. So this powerpoint is based on that latter fact! Use the powerpoint in its entirety with students who need to speed through the course for whatever reason, or with students who need a simpler chunk of knowledge. This gives a baseline from which to work in studying in depth, and one to fall back on if exam anxiety kicks in. Within the powerpoint there are notes for each slide as guidance, and there are some suggestions for different ways of using the materials.

AQA GCSE RS (9-1) has questions which demand the use of teachings if a student wishes to achieve a good grade. These are sheets to give two relevant and usable teachings per topic area for the Beliefs and Practices sections for Hinduism. Each section is covered in two sides. Can be used as an aide memoire in class, as a revision sheet, to aid question response. Also useful as a homework aid – so that homework can be set with students using their own ‘teachings sheet’ which they have at home. Could be laminated/stuck to the desk as a permanent feature of lessons whilst covering the section in class , so that students can have them available in discussion and written work.

This is a presentation for use in a lesson on 'reasoned consideration' and 'chains of logical reasoning'. The new GCSE RS specifications require students to give answers to evaluation questions using chains of logical reasoning, and showing reasoned consideration - however, what these are is not what has been used up to now in GCSR RS. Hence, the presentation which is written for a one-hour lesson including extension/homework. It works through the terms, giving tasks to practice recognising and writing reasoned consideration, and then chains of logical reasoning. A worksheet accompanies the presentation to allow practice of recognising and building chains of logical reasoning.

These are a set of double sided sheets to over the Practices section of AQAs RS Spec A for Hinduism. The first side gives information about a topic within the Practices section, so that any question set is catered for. The second side gives some examples of potential questions - based on the Sample Assessment Materials (SAMS) which have been published by AQA. Examples of both are viewable. It is a revision tool as it specifically targets knowledge needed for exam questions. It provides a number of teachings for each topic area - as AQAs questions demand the use of teachings for a student to get high marks - which are explained. It can be used with any KS4 groups. Teachers could use it as the basis for preparing a lesson(s), issue for revision or as homework.

This is an annotated powerpoint used with students to teach them good technique for answering twelve mark questions from the AQA (9-1) GCSE Religious Studies Spec A. It uses examples from each of the six Themes. These can easily be swapped for other examples (using the SAMs), or replaced with your own ideas, or appropriate ones from past papers of the current Spec B. The powerpoint is quite methodical - example, technique from markscheme, practice. Teacher notes on each slide help deliver it in class.
