These clear and engaging revision sheets are indented for independent study or to aid revision for the topic of Philosophy of Religion. 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.
This specific sheet is FREE! Alternative topics and philosophers are available through my Tes shop :)

Discussion-based PPT and COVID-friendly resources.
Following the increase in awareness and activism surrounding race issues, it is important to discuss and review some of the more contemporary, relevant discussions relating to institutional injustice in society and in schools. It is especially important to allow our students to explore these debates in a calm, respectful environment, where questions and concerns can be voiced without fear of prejudice or discrimination.
I am aware that this is a sensitive topic, however shying away from our more difficult conversations has never led to moral / societal progress. Therefore, I offer this PPT, not as a comprehensive guide or solution to these injustices, but as a starting point for discussions relating to race, equality and justice. In addition, my own race excludes me from the lived experience of many of my colleagues and fellow citizens, and therefore I have created this lesson/PPT from a position of collegiality, to enable and facilitate conversation and as a support to the seen (and unseen) challenges that all people face because of unjust institutions.
