The tasks are differentiated, the format allows students to select the tasks that interest them each week/fortnight - the booklet instructs students to get their homework tasks signed by parents and the teacher.

• The meaning of the term: dependent origination or conditionality
• The relationship between dependent origination and the cycle of samsara (rebirth) The 12 links (nidanas) and how one leads to the next over three lifetimes
• Common and divergent emphases placed on the theory of reincarnation by different Buddhist groups, comparing Tibetan Buddhist and Zen Buddhist views: crucially, whether reincarnation refers to a process occurring after bodily death, or whether it refers to what we would consider to be one life (but Buddha, potentially, viewed as multiple lives that last for individual fleeting moments.)
• Different interpretations and emphases given to sources of wisdom and authority by different Buddhist groups
• A focus on The Wheel of Life
• Evaluation of the theory of reincarnation.
Sources:
• Dhammacakkappavattana sutta (Setting the Wheel of the Dhamma in motion)

AS: 5, 9 and 15 mark questions, and exam scoreboard
A2: 5, 12 and 25 mark questions, and exam scoreboard
The feedback worksheets are designed for peer, self or teacher assessment. They are designed so that multiple markers can assess the work (perfect for lessons after a large assessment)

Tried and tested.
A Personal Learning Checklist for AS-Level Religious Studies.
Based on the OCR specification, for the ‘Philosophy of Religion’
Allows for a complete review of learning for the Philosophy of Religion section of the AS-Level course.
The first side is a PLC with two ways for the student to rate confidence for each topic (as stated in the specification) and the second side features a key-word check as well as various DIRT tasks.
This double-sided A4 worksheet is great for:
-Revision lessons
-AfL
-Fostering teacher-student dialogue
-Directed Individual Reflection Time (DIRT)
-Exam preparation
This is an ideal tool for your students to help them keep track of their learning, and help you monitor the classes strengths and weaknesses. It serves as a highly efficient form of self-assessment.
On the reverse of the sheet are other useful measures that allow teachers to gauge a student’s confidence and reflective abilities.
The worksheet:
-Allows the student to see clearly what they need to know for the exam.
-Allows the student to communicate to their teacher how they can be best helped.
-Gets the student to analyse their progress in relation to their target grade.
-Encourages students to reflect in a structured manner on their necessary revision focusses.
-Gets students to establish both a revision and an exam technique focus.
The Philosophy Boxes Method is a new approach to P4C designed for students in KS1, 2 & 3: it is graphically stimulating, engaging, and fun. This download is also suitable for older students: but the format was designed with younger students in mind.
The topic of this Philosophy Boxes presentation is: “Metaphysics & The Nature of Reality” and deals with the most fundamental question in all of philosophy “What is Reality?”
The aim of Philosophy Boxes is to bring philosophy and critical thinking into every subject at every level: we believe that any subject becomes philosophy when students are asked the right questions and when they think about a topic hard enough and on the deepest (most fundamental) level.
The Philosophy Boxes Method presents students with a set of ‘mystery boxes’, when a student selects one of the boxes they are presented with 1 of 21 discussion/debate activities [that use 1 of 8 different formats].
The presentation has integrated AfL so that teachers can test knowledge at any point in the lesson. There are 10 different AfL slides to choose from.
The design is colourful, animated, fun and engaging: all activities require movement and teachers can decide whether students are expressing their ideas purely verbally or by using post-it notes.
The nature of the design is that it can be used for short sessions (5-10 minutes) or much longer sessions (up to 2 hours!) - it allows for classroom practitioners to be flexible and adaptable. It can, therefore, be used in lessons or as a tutor-time activity.
The download includes a PowerPoint Show; if you would like an editable PPT presentation so that you can make your own ‘Philosophy Boxes’ presentation you will need to download the template here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-the-philosophy-boxes-method-template-for-creating-your-own-philosophy-boxes-lessons-p4c-p4k-11463227
