This is a lesson on homosexuality that was designed for Y11, but can be used for A level. The provocative images on the front are meant to set the scene for the focus of the lesson: Should homosexuality be an ethical issue or not?

Great for A02 focus.

This lesson was designed as a one stop, task driven lesson. See below for a brief plan of the lesson. The resources include a PPT as well as Hindu and Muslim information sheet. The PPT should be worked through, but the main task is the pupils will be given a set of information and will have to work through the reading and highlight important points. They will note these down and teach them to others on the table. The teacher will then go over this at the end to assess learning.

This incredibly well used resource is a fantastic way for budding ethicists to understand the major factors underpinning ethical theory. The PPT tells the story of Abi and Joe (in an interactive manner!).

In the time I have been teaching this, teachers, parents and pupils have commented on it's clarity and usefulness. I hope you agree!
