In this presentation I shared 5 things in 5 minutes at our school's end of term TeachMeet (December 2013). Here are some pictures I used as prompts to explain each activity.

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 is a lesson to support the teaching of 'Believing in God&' from the Edexcel specification. Videos clips are all available on youtube. Please leave a comment and let me know how you may have adapted it etc. I am also on twitter for any comments or questions @Mr_Betts\nI hope you find it helpful.

A lesson to support the teaching of the Edexcel 'Believing in God&' topic (Christiantiy). Please contact me via twitter for clip details/links @Mr_Betts

Specifically for the 'Edexcel&' specification &';Philosophy of Religion' & &'Ethics&';. Students use this worksheet to mark past essays and their peers. I then write my own comments and specific questions to address in the margin of their timed essays.

A lesson for the Believing in God Unit 2 'Religion & Life&'. My first time teaching this unit. Please give feedback, let me know if you try it out or if you have better!

Some ideas to present the real meaning of Christmas from a Christian perspective. Youtube clips required. (Harvey Nichols Christmas advert 2013, Black Friday Fight ASDA, Christmas in a nutshell - all available on youtube and downloadable using keepvid). Enjoy!

Here are some revision sheets that can be copied up to A3 size and completed within revision lessons or for homework. These are based on Edexcel's Unit. 8 'Religious & Society&'. Please comment/rate the resource.

A lesson I prepared for an Ofsted observation with a Year 10 class 2014-15. This was for the GCSE Religion & Life course (Edexcel) specifically but could be adaptable to any Religious Studies exam board. Please leave a comment or contact @Mr_Betts

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.

Here are some GCSE Religious Studies revision activities on the topic of Medical Issues but could easily be adapted for other subjects and topics.

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.

Do you have a central way to log all students progress and comments? Here's what I use

'Je suis Charlie' Assembly following recent attacks on Charlie Hebdo headquarters. To raise awareness of the real issues at stake in this recent story.

A little simple power point with images a key ethical questions to be explored in most RS specifications. We are moving to AQA Unit 2 & 3. Contact @Mr_Betts to share resources!

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.

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 lesson to support the teaching and learning of the 'Design argument&' at GCSE level. This lesson is specifically for the Edexcel &';Believing in God' topic. Please comment and let me know if particular activities work well or you require links to clips. I am also on twitter @Mr_Betts for more discussion.
