GCSE Religious Studies: Philosophy and Ethics: Crime and Punishment
This unit, ‘Crime and Punishment’, is devised as part of a brand new, interleaved scheme of work for GCSE. Individual lessons are intended as a double (roughly one and a half hours per lesson) however, due to time restrictions and the embedded support in the corresponding Work Pack, could also be taught in a minimal one hour per lesson.
Lessons Include:
Different views about good and evil
Reasons for crime
Aims of punishment
Treatment of criminals
Corporal punishment
Death penalty
Forgiveness
*Lesson resource sheets if using exercise books
This scheme of learning has been devised explicitly to support the Recovery Curriculum, interleave learning with previously-learned religious units (Christianity and Islam) and support cognition through interleaving techniques.
Although part of a unit, lessons can also be taught as a stand-alone lessons, e.g. for revision. The corresponding Work Pack(s) would also support a home-learned curriculum as the PowerPoints and Packs themselves include differentiation and scaffolding, where required.
The interleaved schemed of work are specifically designed to promote the two skills desired for success at GCSE:
AO1 (Knowledge and Understanding)
AO2 (Analysis and Evaluation)
The resources are specifically created to ensure students are aware of the skill they are demonstrating and how to improve further through modelling.
These new units bring the relevance back to our topics, for example, through thought experiments and reference to current affairs. Students will experience greater engagement and enjoyment in a fair and balanced approach.
Lessons include:
Homework Slide
Unit Cover and lesson overview
Starter activity, including interleaving
Key words (literacy focus)
Introduction of key information (AO1 - knowledge) and how this is used (AO1 - understanding)
Introduction of a contentious issue or debate (AO2 - analysis) and finalised judgement (AO2 - evaluation)

The lesson resource sheets:
These are designed so that even those who have limited curriculum time can explore the full unit without having to feel the time pressures on their classwork.
The resources provide time-saving activities, whilst still being able to cover the breadth and depth of the course.
In addition, students who may be limited by literacy issues, e.g. slower writing paces, are not disadvantaged or capped in their progress. Therefore, some classes could use a mixed approach - part resources, part exercise book - and all students will be able to progress through the same volume of content.
Please give feedback: I am always happy to respond to comments - whether positive or constructive - this will help to improve the quality of my resources in the future and, more importantly, the quality of pupils’ RE/RS education in general - which is what we’re all here for!

If you would rather work in exercise books, the Work Pack is designed so that you can print off relevant pages - it is a resource pack. This would be useful if you have appropriate curriculum time to cover the content of the course.

This lesson is Lesson 2 in ‘Human Rights and Social Justice’, devised as part of a brand new, interleaved scheme of work for GCSE. It is intended as a double (roughly one and a half hours per lesson) however, due to time restrictions and the embedded support in the corresponding Work Pack, could also be taught in a minimal one hour.
This scheme of learning has been devised explicitly to support the Recovery Curriculum, interleave learning with previously-learned religious units (Christianity and Islam) and support cognition through interleaving techniques.
Although part of a unit, this lesson can also be taught as a stand-alone lesson, e.g. for revision. The corresponding Work Packs would also support a home-learned curriculum as the PowerPoints and Packs themselves include differentiation and scaffolding, where required.
The interleaved schemed of work are specifically designed to promote the two skills desired for success at GCSE:
AO1 (Knowledge and Understanding)
AO2 (Analysis and Evaluation)
The resources are specifically created to ensure students are aware of the skill they are demonstrating and how to improve further through modelling.
These new units bring the relevance back to our topics, for example, contentious debate on the pandemic, the genocide of the Uighur Muslims and other cruccurrent affairs. Students will experience greater engagement and enjoyment in a fair and balanced approach.
Lesson includes:
Homework Slide
Unit Cover and lesson overview
Starter activity, including interleaving
Key words (literacy focus)
Introduction of key information (AO1 - knowledge) and how this is used (AO1 - understanding)
Introduction of a contentious issue or debate (AO2 - analysis) and finalised judgement (AO2 - evaluation)
Plenary
The Work Pack:
If you would rather work in exercise books, the Work Pack is designed so that you can print off relevant pages - it is a resource pack. This would be particularly useful if you have appropriate curriculum time to cover the content of the course. Unfortunately, I know this is not the case across all schools, and therefore the Work Pack helps by supporting time-saving activities, whilst still being able to cover the breadth and depth of the course.
In addition, students who may be limited by literacy issues, e.g. slower writing paces, are not disadvantaged or capped in their progress due to how meticulous the support is throughout all planning stages. Therefore, some classes could use a mixed approach - part Work Pack, part exercise book - and all students will be able to progress through the same volume of content.
Please give feedback: I am always happy to respond to comments - whether positive or constructive - this will help to improve the quality of my resources in the future and, more importantly, the quality of pupils’ RE/RS education in general - which is what we’re all here for!

This revision lesson aims to review Theme C: Existence of God and Revelation. The accompanying PowerPoint gives guidance and goes through the answers with the students, providing modelled written responses, where relevant.
It is created with the AQA GCSE in mind, though is adaptable across specifications.
The PowerPoint includes:
Aims of the lesson
Key Words
First Cause Argument, including analysis
Design argument, including analysis
Miracles and David Hume
Revelation
Criticisms from science
Reality/illusion debate
The activities are a collection of time-saving revision activities that minimalise writing, making the lesson suitable for all learners. Answers are also embedded into the PowerPoint via attractive and engaging animations.
The learning mat is one-sided A3 (Word) and A4 (PDF) and correspond with the work on the PowerPoint. All resources are available in their original Microsoft Word format, though can be downloaded as PDFs too, for compatibility purposes.

This revision lesson aims to prepare students for an upcoming assessment or exam for the ‘Philosophy and Ethics’ or 'Themes’ element of their GCSE in time-saving and engaging methods.
This lesson explores common cores to all units. Within AQA, there are 6 P&E units, so covering all in one lesson would be impossible. Therefore, I have created a ‘common core’ lesson that provides the foundation and support required for all units.
It is created with the AQA GCSE in mind, though is adaptable across specifications. The only difference would be the way in which some of the key words are spelled in Islam, e.g. ‘Mecca/Makkah’ however this is not considered when awarding SPAG anyway. In addition, the original editable documents are included, so you can tailor the language/spellings for your class/qualification.
The PowerPoint includes:
Aims of the lesson
Authority and Influences
Key Christian Teachings and Interpretations
Humanist Beliefs and Values
Case Studies
Debate Skills - Analysis and Evaluation
The activities are a collection of time-saving revision activities that minimalise writing, making the lesson suitable for all learners. Answers are also embedded into the PowerPoint via attractive and engaging animations.
The corresponding learning mat is two-sided (one side for Islam, another for Christianity) and correspond with the work on the PowerPoint. All resources are available in their original Microsoft Word format, though can be downloaded as PDFs too, for compatibility purposes.
