These clear and engaging revision sheets are indented for independent study or to aid revision for the key scholar Mary Wollstonecraft in the topic of Gender. Each sheet is downloaded as an A3 Word document and an A4 PDF, for compatibility. I felt it was important to make these sheets as my students sometimes misunderstood the context of the philosophers or the chronology of the arguments (and responses). 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: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/a-level-anselm-and-ontological-argument-context-and-information-sheet-12316408 Additional topics and/or philosophers can be found in my Tes shop!

**GCSE Religious Studies: Philosophy and Ethics: Human Rights and Social Justice ** Lesson: How should wealth be earned and spent? This lesson is Lesson 7 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 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.
