A3 DIRT Worksheet (15+ 5-star ratings!)
KS3 RE Units
This 36 page booklet is designed for Religious Studies teachers/students who are covering Buddhism at GCSE level.
The booklet:
-Breaks the specification into 36 topics
-Postulates at least five hypothetical exam statements for 12/15 mark questions.
-Includes a wide array Buddhist quotes, sayings, and sources.
-Has been rigorously checked so that there are no 'Fake Buddha Quotes' [since there are many on the internet]
It should be considered an essential tool to prepare students for their exams and is especially suited to motivated, gifted and talented, and independent students who are determined to succeed.
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
If you're teaching Buddhism at GCSE level you can save yourself a LOT of time by downloading our 5-Star 20-lesson GCSE Buddhism course here:
https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gcse-buddhism-ocr-b-aqa-20-lessons-very-high-quality-complete-resources-lesson-plans-worksheets-presentations-11410236
This download is for Religious Studies teachers covering Hinduism at GCSE Level. It can also be used at KS3 level, though its design is based on GCSE specifications (2016/7 onwards).
It features:
-50 Debates
-Animated slides
-A randomiser function
-Central moral/ethical teachings for students to link to debate prompts
-All debates linked to moral issues from the exam board specifications (specifically, OCR/AQA specs, 2016/7 onwards)
It is ideal for:
-Teaching and revising moral concepts specific to the religion covered.
-Teaching students to apply general moral principles from the religious tradition to different moral issues.
-Practising exam technique: most of the debate prompts are potential 12/15 mark questions.
-End of lesson activities
-Revision sessions
-Cover lessons
The debate format asks students to move from one side of the room or the other based on whether they think a member of the religious tradition should agree or disagree with the statement, it is also good practice to get students to move to express their opinion in response to the statement.
It is also good practice to ask students for ideas other than the ones on the slide they might connect, and update the slides accordingly.
A personal learning checklist (PLC) for the new AQA specification: ‘Beliefs, teachings & practices’ section, with reference to Christianity.
The first side is a PLC with two ways for the student to rate confidence and the second side features a key-word check as well as various DIRT tasks.
This double-sided A4 worksheet is great for:
-Revision lessons
-AfL
-Fostering teacher-student dialogue
-Directed Individual Reflection Time (DIRT)
-Exam preparation
This is an ideal tool for your students to help them keep track of their learning, and help you monitor the classes strengths and weaknesses. It serves as a highly efficient form of self-assessment.
On the reverse of the sheet are other useful measures that allow teachers to gauge a student’s confidence and reflective abilities.
The worksheet:
-Allows the student to see clearly what they need to know for the exam.
-Allows the student to communicate to their teacher how they can be best helped.
-Gets the student to analyse their progress in relation to their target grade.
-Encourages students to reflect in a structured manner on their necessary revision focusses.
-Gets students to establish both a revision and an exam technique focus.

A3 DIRT Worksheet (15+ 5-star ratings!)
KS3 RE Units
This bundle is for a collection of ‘Philosophy Boxes’ lessons/sessions.
Each session comprises a P4C lesson/session that can be used 2-3 times with the same group.
This download includes 19 out of the 20 sessions, the 20th file is the template (worth £9.99) that allows you to create your own ‘Philosophy Boxes’ sessions.
The Philosophy Boxes Method is a new approach to P4C designed for students in KS1, 2 & 3: it is graphically stimulating, engaging, and fun. This download is also suitable for older students: but the format was designed with younger students in mind.
The aim of Philosophy Boxes is to bring philosophy and critical thinking into every subject at every level: we believe that any subject becomes philosophy when students are asked the right questions and when they think about a topic hard enough and on the deepest (most fundamental) level.
The Philosophy Boxes Method presents students with a set of ‘mystery boxes’, when a student selects one of the boxes they are presented with 1 of 21 discussion/debate activities [that use 1 of 8 different formats].
The presentation has integrated AfL so that teachers can test knowledge at any point in the lesson. There are 10 different AfL slides to choose from.
The design is colourful, animated, fun and engaging: all activities require movement and teachers can decide whether students are expressing their ideas purely verbally or by using post-it notes.
The nature of the design is that it can be used for short sessions (5-10 minutes) or much longer sessions (up to 2 hours!) - it allows for classroom practitioners to be flexible and adaptable. It can, therefore, be used in lessons or as a tutor-time activity.
The download includes a PowerPoint Show; if you would like an editable PPT presentation so that you can make your own ‘Philosophy Boxes’ presentation you will need to download the template here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-the-philosophy-boxes-method-template-for-creating-your-own-philosophy-boxes-lessons-p4c-p4k-11463227
A complete selection of Philosophy Boxes lessons can be found here: https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?&q=philosophy+boxes+godwin86
