In this resource, we begin Anselm’s ontological argument. This lesson is focussed on key words for the topic; the scholar; the context in which he was writing; and his premises within his first argument. This resource also contains independent research tasks for the students to carry about before the next lesson where we introduce Gaunilo’s criticism leading to Anselm’s edited argument. This resource has been tried and tested by my 16-17 year old students currently remote learning. This led to a successful understanding of the first part of the argument. This resource is simple to follow, with clear images, a simple structure and interactive activities for the students to be engaging with. The activities are also embedded within this file.

In this voice over resource, I talk you through the introduction to the ontological argument and the activities the students are to carry on. This lesson covers- Retrieval practice of key concepts linked to the ontological argument Retrieval practice of the cosmological argument Who is Anselm? What is the first part of Anselm’s argument? Independent tasks the students carry out to prepare them for next lesson. I have not included the videos included due to copyright. Best wishes, Miss Green

In this resource pack you will find- Confidence tracker for the cosmological, teleological, ontological arguments and the problem of evil. Key quotes for each argument Key words for each argument Key scholars with their dates and books for each argument Possible exam style questions to be asked Main areas covered within the topic These sheets have been invaluable for my A Level students to have all of the information for each topic consolidated to each page. They have each of these confidence trackers at the front of their folder for each topic in the Philosophy Unit.

In this resource bundle you will have access to- 3 different lessons: Introduction to abortion; Catholic Views on abortion; other Christian views on abortion. The first lesson: Discussion based lesson designing to form students opinions around the topic of abortion. Introducing key terms for topic; true or false activity (providing legislation on abortion); poem interpretation; and plenary activity to retrieve knowledge gained throughout the course of the lesson. The second lesson: Starter activity based on recapping statistics and information taught on abortion in the first lesson; assessing prior knowledge of what the Bible may say on abortion; assessing sources of authority for Catholic views on abortion; activity designed to memorise the different Catholic teachings/ quotes which can be applied to abortion; essay style plenary activity to consolidate learning. The third lesson: musical interpretation of abortion and why some may consider having one. This lesson focuses on the quality of life argument; doctrine of double effect and the similarities and differences of Catholic and Church of England approach to abortion. These lessons have been tried and tested and successfully led to my Y10 students understanding the Catholic and Church of England view on abortion. These lessons were taught during the COVID-19 lock down therefore work as remote and live lessons. If you wish to use the resources for live lessons, simply delete the voice overs. With the voice overs they can be used as helpful revision tools for Y10/Y11 students revising for their exams, guided by the teacher voice. DISCLAIMER: I understand that individual Catholic and other Christians may feel differently than what is taught in these lessons however this is the approach the exam board requires us to take when looking at different Christian views on abortion.
