A whole Holocaust/Shoah scheme of work with videos, worksheets, wordsearches, youtube videos, embedded videos that include real survivors talking about their experience. I've taught and tweeked this over 6 years, teaching it perhaps 30 times, adding a real dimension of Jewish faith and how the Holocaust/Shoah challenged and strengthened different people's faiths. Excellent resource for higher achievers: level 7-8 is quite common with the scafolding here. It starts historical, and then becomes increasingly integrated with the effect on Jewish Faith. There's really loads here, including 34 files in total, so plenty to chop and change. Lesson 1: Introduction: 6 258 673 Lesson 2: Propaganda and Indoctrination Lesson 3: Timeline and Gradual Change in Nazi Germany Lesson 4: The Ghettos Lesson 5: Jewish Identity Lesson 6: The Concentration camps and Anne Frank Lesson 7: What was lost?

UPDATED from last year with more detailed exploration of all topics. A Resource written, compiled and edited by yours truly which should cost about £1 to print in school. Students can hopefully buy this from your department, and it is a good middle ground between the official revision guide and, well, nothing at all! :) My students have found it very helpful. Covering Islam and Christianity, mainly, with a smattering of Buddhism. Also includes the most challenging exam questions from past papers on the last pages, as well as an overview from AQA.

An attempt to help students understand how we might move past the viciousness of violence and extremism using the examples of the truth and reconciliation commission and Desmond Tutu.

A lesson, more like two really, exploring what the Hajj is, why people do it, and how the Hajj effects Muslims. They hyperlinks in the PPT (image link on second slide and last slide) are to two excellent videos. Ext: why do different Muslims go on Hajj for different reasons?

The idea of this PPT is to print out the pages of the Gurus and a story about their lives so students can convert the information into a poster, or put it onto a timeline, or create a marketplace activity. Hopefully this is some useful raw material for you to work your creative magic on. It's supposed to show how Sikhism developed from a spontaneous vision of the first Guru (Nanak) into a world religion heavily shaped by oppression and military necessity (Gobindh Singh). Hope it&'s helpful! Be well, d

A PPT with a variety of extensions to give students an idea about what all the fuss is about. The PPT itself is pretty self explanatory, and contains links to a variety of youtube videos (some are animations) as well as the Specials 'Free Nelson Mandela&' single. What a legend!

There is a prezi that comes with this lesson plan, the link for which can be found as a hyperlink in the lesson plan itself. Or copy and paste: http://prezi.com/m8egb_g7wt1d/religious-revolutionaries/ Religious leaders often seem able to draw on a well of internal strength that allows them to fight for - and sometimes die for - social justice. This resource is designed with an independent study phase so students can choose who they wish to study, which can be found in the PDF file. Enjoy!

Chandra Bose has been likened to Malcolm X in comparison to MLK, but when compared with Gandhi. He led a profoundly effective campaign at forcing the British out of India through armed resistance, but is greatly neglected by a narrative that prefers non-violent protest. Key question: Is violence justified when fighting injustice?
