Formative Essays for Ancient Greek influences on religious philosophy. Each essay is broken down into either AO1 or AO2 for the OCR Philosophy of Religion - G571 - specification. Each breakdown makes clear what a student needs to do to achieve either A, C or E.

Overview, self and teacher assessment, self-reflection document. I designed it to help me to keep a tight reign on the programme of study (I have a tendency to spend too long on this topic!) and to encourage my students to take more of an active role in their progress and learning. I'm hoping it will also help to encourage an open learning environment by encouraging the sharing of misconceptions etc.

<p>Designed for home / independent learning and aimed at children and young adults who are looking to further their knowledge in all things Ancient History and Science. Episodes are all under 10 minutes, packed full of information that is easy for children of all ages to understand. Typically taking around 30-45 mins to complete. Written and narrated by Cambridge University archaeologist Matthew Brooks.</p> <p><strong>Ancient Greek Philosophy</strong>. The philosophers of Ancient Greece were among the greatest thinkers to ever grace humanity. Ancient Greek philosophy and medical writing were extremely important on later thought, both in the West and in the East.</p> <p><strong>WHAT AM I BUYING?</strong></p> <p>A downloadable audio file (mp3)<br /> Comprehension questions (.docx)<br /> Comprehension activities (.docx)<br /> Answer sheets (.docx)<br /> EBook script of the episode (.docx)</p> <p><strong>WHEN CAN I GET IT?</strong></p> <p>Instantly<br /> As soon as payment has cleared your downloads will become available</p> <p><strong>The Ancient Greeks:</strong></p> <p>Episode 1 – Introduction to Ancient Greece<br /> Episode 2 – The Olympic Games<br /> Episode 3 – Government and Law<br /> Episode 4 – Philosophy, the First Thinkers<br /> Episode 5 – Literature and the Theatre<br /> Episode 6 – Architecture and Art<br /> Episode 7 – Greek Mythology<br /> Episode 8 – Athens and Sparta<br /> Episode 9 – The Olympian Gods<br /> Episode 10 – The Lasting Legacy of the Greeks</p>

<p>These analysis mind maps sumarise each topic by page for the whole unit of Philosophy of Religion (AS and A2 years). Each map is downloaded as both a Word document and a PDF, for compatibility.</p> <p>The maps specifically follow the requirements of the OCR A Level Religious Studies Spec, but due to similarities across specifications they are relevant for other exam boards. They can also be edited easily for other specifications.</p> <p>They explore appropriate AO1 (knowledge and understanding) followed by AO2 (analysis and evaluation) of that specific point. I encourage my own students to add another layer to the map, evaluating the analysis, to develop their AO2. This could continue on indefinitely or end each ‘arm’ with a personal judgement.</p> <p>I also like to cut up the maps and ask the student to re-construct them. This aids in their revision skills and supports their logical structuring of arguments.</p> <p>Maps included:</p> <ol> <li>Ancient Philosophical Influences</li> <li>Soul, Mind, Body</li> <li>Teleological Argument</li> <li>Cosmological Argument</li> <li>Ontological Argument</li> <li>Religious Experience</li> <li>Problem of Evil</li> <li>Nature of God</li> <li>Religious Language</li> <li>20th Century Perspectives</li> </ol> <p>Please give feedback!
