A lesson I prepared for an Ofsted inspection 2014-15 for an A2 Philosophy & Ethics Class. The structure/style/activities could be adapted for any key stage and subject. Please do leave a comment here on to @Mr_Betts

A lesson I used for an Ofsted observation lesson. It worked very well and generated some deep discussions. Clear progression throughout. The final slides were printed for students to organise into 'for&' and &';against' columns on their tables and to assist when answering the d) style question. This is based on the edexcel &'s specification for Unit 8 &';Religion & Society', though very adaptable for other specs.

A power point for our core RE lessons on the topic of 'Community Cohesion', an edexcel Religious Studies topic. This lesson also links to recent news stories and themes (e.g. freedom of speech) relating to acts of terrorism in France 2015.

A set of lesson resources for this ethical issue. Clips referenced are downloadable from youtube - Gattaca & The Island. Several of those from the #reteacher community on Twitter inspired some of the activities in this lesson. Please follow @Mr_Betts for other RS related activities in my photos and posts. \n\nPlease leave some feedback before or after use!

Please contact @Mr_Betts on twitter for the additional resources referred to in the powerpoint.

A lesson to support the teaching of the 'Believing in God&' unit from the edexcel specification. Please leave any comments or further adapations that could be made. You can always tweet any questions or perhaps share clips/other resources @Mr_Betts

A series of activities for any AS/A2 Religious Studies / Philosophy & Ethics specification on the Ontological argument. Includes key word match ups, making links, example introduction and conclusion, colour coding strengths/weakness to build evaluations and a pop quiz.

Give to A Level students to practice exam technique and apply knowledge to different exam questions. This is for the Edexcel specification but the idea could be adapted to other courses.

A full lesson within a scheme of learning on Islam and specifically the 5 pillars. There are lots of active learning strategies and differentiated tasks in this lesson. I have made reference to a clip and images which I also used. Additionally, I have given suggestions of how to adapt/run activities in the slide notes clearly. I used this lesson at a job interview and was successful with the lesson described as outstanding.

Lesson 1. Learning mat for AS students studying the Cosmological argument. Encourage active independent learning alongside solo taxonomy. I also have a powerpoint that shows students what symbols represent and a bit more to the lesson itself. Please feedback any further ideas!

This lesson is part of the 'Peace and conflict' topic within GCSE Edexcel Religious Studies. Students really enjoy passing through the different tasks. Details and ideas for the activities are within the slide notes for you to adapt if required. The Edexcel 'Religion & Society' textbook is required or a suitable alternative that has an example of a conflict where the United Nations has tried to resolve. A couple of the activities can then be very easily adapted to fulfil your needs. Common examples are Kosovo and Darfur in textbooks. Students show very clear progress in this lesson.

This is a lesson to support the teaching of 'Believing in God&' from the Edexcel specification. Videos clips are all available on youtube.
