Lesson: Should we eat meat? This lesson is Lesson 3 in the new ‘Animal Rights’ unit, devised as part of a brand new, relevant and engaging scheme of work for KS3. It is intended as a double (roughly one and a half hours per lesson) however, due to time restrictions and the embedded support in the corresponding Work Pack, could also be taught in a minimal one hour. This lesson explores the morality of eating meat, including advantages (to humans) and disadvantages (to humans). Although part of a unit, this lesson can also be taught as a stand-alone lesson, e.g. for revision. The corresponding Work Packs would also support a home-learned curriculum as the PowerPoints and Packs themselves include differentiation and scaffolding, where required. The interleaved schemed of work are specifically designed to promote the two skills desired for success at GCSE: AO1 (Knowledge and Understanding) AO2 (Analysis and Evaluation) The resources are specifically created to ensure students are aware of the skill they are demonstrating and how to improve further through modelling. These new units bring the relevance back to our topics, for example, through thought experiments and reference to current affairs. Students will experience greater engagement and enjoyment in a fair and balanced approach. Lesson includes: Homework Slide Lesson overview Starter activity Key words (literacy focus) Introduction of key information (AO1 - knowledge) and how this is used (AO1 - understanding) Introduction of a contentious issue or debate (AO2 - analysis) and finalised judgement (AO2 - evaluation) Plenary Lesson Sheets: If you would rather work in exercise books, the Work Pack/lesson sheets are designed so that you can print off relevant pages - it is a resource pack. This would be useful if you have appropriate curriculum time to cover the content of the course. Unfortunately, this is not the case across all schools, and therefore the Work Pack helps by providing time-saving activities, whilst still being able to cover the breadth and depth of the course. In addition, students who may be limited by literacy issues, e.g. slower writing paces, are not disadvantaged or capped in their progress. Therefore, some classes could use a mixed approach - part Work Pack, part exercise book - and all students will be able to progress through the same volume of content.

These clear and engaging revision sheets are indented for independent study or to aid revision for the topic of Philosophy of Religion. Each sheet is downloaded as an A3 Word document and an A4 PDF, for compatibility. I felt it was important to make these sheets as my students sometimes misunderstood the context of the philosophers or the chronology of the arguments (and responses). Therefore, these context sheets aim to tackle these misconceptions and re-examine the theory and/or philosopher within the context in which they should be viewed. This specific sheet is FREE! Alternative topics and philosophers are available through my Tes shop :) Please give feedback!

Discussion-based PPT and COVID-friendly resources. Following the increase in awareness and activism surrounding race issues, it is important to discuss and review some of the more contemporary, relevant discussions relating to institutional injustice in society and in schools. It is especially important to allow our students to explore these debates in a calm, respectful environment, where questions and concerns can be voiced without fear of prejudice or discrimination. I am aware that this is a sensitive topic, however shying away from our more difficult conversations has never led to moral / societal progress. Therefore, I offer this PPT, not as a comprehensive guide or solution to these injustices, but as a starting point for discussions relating to race, equality and justice. In addition, my own race excludes me from the lived experience of many of my colleagues and fellow citizens, and therefore I have created this lesson/PPT from a position of collegiality, to enable and facilitate conversation and as a support to the seen (and unseen) challenges that all people face because of unjust institutions.
