It can be downloaded for £9.99 at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/activity-generator-humanities-rs-philosophy-design-beautiful-ppts-in-no-time-11374857
About the full product:
This resource is the product of 3 years teaching RS & Philosophy and, under observations, the lessons it has helped create have all been rated as good-outstanding.
It is designed to make the creation of PPT presentations/lessons very quick and easy and includes:
-Introduction slides
-Learning Activities
-Plenary Tasks
-MAF
There are over 130 slides.
Most of the contents are easily adaptable to other subjects (especially Humanities subjects). Most activities are designed with differentiation in mind.
In terms of design: slides may feature timers, animations, and stimulating graphics. I have always been a bit of a perfectionist in my design and hope it comes across in the slides.
Thanks in advance for supporting my work: I hope it saves you a lot of time, improves your practice, and helps your students learn in an exciting and stimulating way.
Sincerely,
Adam Godwin

This presentation is designed to cover the topic of Martin Luther King’s life, but emphasises that his mission is far from complete.

A3 DIRT Worksheet (15+ 5-star ratings!)
KS3 RE Units
This download contains 4 personal learning checklists (PLCs)(in 3 files), based on the latest OCR B Religious Studies Short-Course specification (2016 onwards): focussing on the religion of Christianity.
Individual PLCs (for each section of the short-course) can be purchased for £2, this bundle saves you over 50%.
The PLC contains a list of all topics students are needed to know in relation to Christianity: students are asked to indicate their confidence level by shading red/amber/green and giving a confidence score of 1-10.
On the reverse of the sheet are other useful measures that allow teachers to gauge a student’s confidence and reflective abilities.
The Personal Learning Checklist (PLC):
-Encourages students to reflect in a structured manner on revision focusses.
-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.
-Gets students to establish both a revision and an exam technique focus.
This is an essential resource for any teacher of OCR B Short-Course Religious Studies (Christianity) and downloading it will save you the tedious and time-consuming task of compiling your own PLCs.

Generate instant ethical debates!
This is a 200 slide PPT, containing 198 moral/ethical debates, discussions, and dilemmas.
It also contains a ‘randomiser’ slide: when clicked a random moral problem is presented to the group.
Uses:
-P4C (Philosophy for kids)
-Form time activities
-R.S./Philosophy/Citizenship cover lessons
-Debating societies
-Making best use of spare time at the end of lessons
Discussions follow one of four formats, each asking students to move from one side of the room or the other to make their position clear: teachers should then use questioning to foster a debate between students, encouraging them to present reasons for their choice and defend their position.
The formats are:
-“Which is more moral?” (students chose between two options)
-“Agree or disagree?” (where students respond to a presented statement about morality of a moral issue)
-“Who do you save?” (where students need to save one of two people/options, and justify the morality of their decision)
-“Moral or immoral?” (where students cast their judgement on a given action, event or person.
This resource is great value at £4.99 and cannot be found elsewhere:
-It clearly contributes to the Moral aspect of your school’s SMSC provision
-It allows for countless hours of discussion and debate to be structured in a focussed and engaging manner.
-It would take days to reproduce yourself.
-It can save vast amounts of staff time in preparing cover lessons
-It is the perfect way to make the most of any time a teacher might have left at the end of a lesson.
-It deals with cross curricular issues
Please note: this resource deals with controversial issues, debates and questions that may be deemed unsuitable for younger children. It is designed for secondary school students, but can be easily adapted to younger years with appropriate amendments by their teacher.
An A3 learning mat and/or wall-display, based on the AQA Sociology GCSE Specification (For teaching from September 2017 onwards For GCSE exams in 2019 onwards)
The display outlines what students need to know for the 'Research Methods' section of the course.
This download is for AQA Sociology GCSE (the new specification, 2017 onwards).
It refers to the topic of RESEARCH METHODS (equivalent downloads for the other 4 sections are available in our shop or in a bundle)
It is a:
-Personal Learning Checklist
-DIRT Worksheet
-Key-word review task
For the RESEARCH METHODS section of the course.
The worksheets ask students to:
-Indicate Red/Amber/Green for all topics on the specification.
-Indicate a confidence rating out of 10 for all topics on the specification.
-State their target and current grade
-Ask the teacher one question
-State their exam technique target
-State their revision focus
-Tell the teacher what they can do to help the student reach their target
-Highlight key-words the student is unsure about
-State 10 key-words they will research the meaning of before the next lesson.
It is therefore the perfect worksheet to structure a DIRT, progress review or revision lesson with in relation to the RESEARCH METHODS topic of AQA GCSE Sociology (2017 onwards).

This revision session covers the: ‘Ancient Philosophical Influences’ [Plato & Aristotle] section of the specification. Part of the ‘Philosophy of Religion’ third of the AS course.

-During extra-curricular time (KS5 Religious Studies Clubs)
This revision session features:
-A ‘grid of learning’ post-it task (to focus students on the day’s topic and refresh their memories of the basics)
-A 'competitive mind-mapping task (which can be completed on the whiteboard or on A3 paper)
-A silent debate task (with 6 x A3 silent debate worksheets in an editable .doc file) [nb. allowing group conversation, instead of silence, is also an effective approach]
-Debates that ask students to move from one side of the room or the other and verbalise a defence of their position in response to a statement or rubric.
-A concluding ‘One thing I am still uncertain about…’ post-it question.
This session can be purchased individually or as pat of various bundles depending on your needs.
