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? I also discuss the media's role in this discussion with use of the images.

This is a 3 part activity which aims to help pupils understand the keywords, meanings and examples of aims of punishment. Included are model answers and would be most appropriate for GCSE level, but could be adapted for A level or KS3.

It is sometimes hard to assess the success of the hedonic calculus. For years my colleagues and I found it hard to get pupils to reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of the hedonic calculus. This resource aims to change this. Pupils are given the worksheet in order to see how simple, yet how time consuming and contradictory this theory is. It works a treat - especially for homework. 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!). Abi, driven by acts surrounding motive and not rule or consequence ends up falling into trouble and other characters act in seemingly contentious ways because of their focus of moral thinking. In the time I have been teaching this, teachers, parents and pupils have commented on it's clarity and usefulness. I hope you agree!

This PPT helps pupils understand the content attached to the role of Parliament in Law making and fits well with both Law A level and cross curricular inclusion of the role of Parliament or law making.

This lesson focuses on the different beliefs and examples of pacifism. It follows my other lesson on Violence and Peace and comes with a worksheet and task which should bring excellent learning. It also has a meditation exercise that can be used to the last task of the PPT. This is a really good task which the pupils engage with and always walk out with a smile!
