Pacifism
Subject: Religious education

A lesson to explore what pacifism is, how it has been used in the past and if it is a reasonable attitude to take to war. Looking particularly at the Quakers and their use of pacifism in anti-war protests and campaigning, the lesson aims to engage students in active critical thought and improve their awareness of how belief manifests in the real world.
Learning Objectives:

Should we ALL be pacifists?
It also includes links to youtube videos on conscience and examples of conscientious objectors for students to explore. It also includes, for more able students, examples of people who ‘broke the mold’ such as Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

I was just what I needed for a lesson on Conscientious Objectors for S3-14 year olds. I liked the cartoons and up to date data. I deleted a few slides as it was a bit too long for what I needed and some images were pixelated.
