The issue about whether or not society should execute convicted murderers is highly controversial. Recent polls still show a lot of popular support for the death penalty but Parliament still opposes its reintroduction. In countries where the death penalty does exist, a large number of those on death row are often people who are foreigners, outsiders or misfits. Black people make up 10% of US society but 30% of those on death row. Could this be due to racist judges and juries?

This fun and interactive resource is designed to help your students understand the different attitudes of Christians and Muslims towards organ donation and transplant surgery.

We then use the finished card sort as the basis for an extended piece of writing. They can then use the card headings as opening points and select statements as their examples for their PEEL’d paragraphs.
