It contains 60 pages and over 50 tasks, a year’s worth of homework. The tasks are differentiated, the format allows students to select the tasks that interest them each week/fortnight - the booklet instructs students to get their homework tasks signed by parents and the teacher. As a teacher, your only task is to check that students are completing the tasks.

I went through all my old resources to find relevant files for the ‘Religion & Life’ theme of new specification and compiled them into this 70+ file bundle. Resources focus on Christianity but I will be making new resources for Buddhism soon. There are at least 10 full lessons to choose from in this bundle and much more aside from that. These resources are quite old now and for the previous specification, please see my new range of resources released in 2018. Update: 2018 Please note that I have now released updated resource packs for the ‘Thematic Studies’ component of the GCSE course. These can be found be clicking here. They are considerably higher quality, better value and generally superior to these older files in every way so have a look!

This resource pack is the sum total of three years teaching OCR Philosophy & Ethics, and contains all resources necessary for the teaching of the philosophy half of the course: assuming your focus is on Christianity. It contains over 200 files, covering both AS & A2. Most of the resources have been made myself and cannot be found elsewhere. For copyright reasons I have not included the videos, instead I have included a file listing the relevant YouTube videos referred to in some lessons. Most topics have complete printable notes, most have PPTS or associated lessons, and Worksheets: some of the resources are offered as ‘works in progress’. A large variety of assessment materials and feedback tools have been included. Certainly an excellent resource for new teachers of the subject, since this download contains everything I used whilst successfully teaching the subject myself. Given the hundreds of hours that have gone into creating these resources I am proud to sell them at the very reasonable introductory price of £9.99

A professionally designed Christmas quiz for Religious Studies teachers to use with their students, featuring 60 well-presented questions and an answer sheet. The quiz also includes a word-search (on screen) and a couple of anagram rounds. Fifty of the questions are Christmas-related and not connected to a specific school-subject: the final ten are subject specific and deal either with GCSE terminology, KS4 exam specification contents, or “fun facts”. Differentiation can easily be achieved by changing quiz group sizes. The quiz is suitable for KS3-5. Completing and peer-marking the 60-question quiz should take the best part of a 1-hour lesson. The resource is fully editable. Copyright Adam Godwin (2018) Not for re-distribution.
