GCSE Human Rights and Social Justice: Interleaved Unit
**GCSE Religious Studies: Philosophy and Ethics: Human Rights and Social Justice
**
This unit, ‘Human Rights and Social Justice’, 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.
What are Human Rights?
How do people express their beliefs?
Should people express their beliefs openly?
How are religions discriminated against?
Do religions discriminate?
How are humans exploited?
How should wealth be earned and spent?
Who is responsible for the poor?
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, 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.
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)
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 useful if you have appropriate curriculum time to cover the content of the course. Unfortunately, this is not the case across all schools, and therefore the Work Pack helps by providing 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 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!

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.

These clear and engaging revision sheets are indented for independent study or to aid revision for the scholar Epicurus in the topics of Ancient Philosophy and Utilitarianism. Each sheet is downloaded as an A3 Word document and an A4 PDF, for compatibility.

Therefore, these context sheets aim to tackle these misconceptions and re-examine the theory and/or philosopher within the context in which they should be viewed.
A sample context sheet can be found here:
