This seven lesson unit is for teachers covering Buddhism as a comparative religion at GCSE level. It covers Theme B: Religion & Life and focuses on Buddhist views, beliefs and teachings.
It was designed around the GCSE AQA specification (Theme B) and, consequently, covers the three topics listed:
• Abortion.
• Euthanasia.
• Animal experimentation.
Each lesson is fully resourced and includes a lesson plan, homework, AfL tasks. Most lessons are based around professionally designed A3 worksheets.
The resources are authored by the same professional resource designer who created the 20-Lesson GCSE Buddhism bundle for the 'Beliefs, Teachings & Practices' section of the course: which has soon become the highest rated premium GCSE RS product on all of Tes! ( https://goo.gl/5gQDEE )
You can buy this 7 lesson unit alongside a 10-lesson Christianity Thematic Study Unit in one bundle to save money.
The lessons included are outlined as follows:
Lesson 1 - Abortion (Comparing Christian & Buddhist Views)
Lesson 2 - Abortion (Buddhist Views)
Lesson 3 - Euthanasia (Buddhist Views)
Lesson 4 - Euthanasia (Comparing Christian & Buddhist Views)

A3 DIRT Worksheet (15+ 5-star ratings!)
KS3 RE Units
My complete teaching resources for the Applied Ethics component of GCSE Religious Studies: Christianity after 3 years of teaching.
Resources have been made by me, they cannot be found elsewhere: they are the result of thousands of hours of work.
All files have been compressed into one zip file: I have uploaded a few PPT files separately so that you can use the preview feature to gauge the quality of the work before downloading.
Featuring worksheets and powerpoints for topics:
-Medical Ethics
-Human Relationships
-War & Peace
-Equality
Also covers Humanist Views (though in much less detail compared to Christianity)
Designed for OCR B but applicable to other exam specifications, including post 2016 specifications.
Video files associated with lessons are not included for copyright reasons: but all can be found on YouTube, or replaced with ones of your choosing.
The download comprises 20 X PSHE lessons/sessions that can be used multiple times with the same group.
The method uses a selection of debate and discussion activities to explore PSHE issues for KS2-4 students.
The Philosophy Boxes Method is a new approach to PSHE designed for students in KS2-4: 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. In this context: 'Philosophy Boxes' represents a more student-centred 'debate & discussion' approach to PSHE issues.
The aim of our 'Philosopy Boxes' PSHE sessions is to bring deep, critical thinking to PSHE, exploring PSHE using P4C (Philosophy for Children) debates and discussions. One advantage to the method is that it helps students to practice their social skills through the activities.
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 (in 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.
These mini-worksheets, to be used at the very end of lessons, encourage efficient student reflection on metacognition and what factors have impacted their learning in that session. This download contains ten different designs!
The aims of these five-minute reflection sheets include:
Evaluation of metacognitive power levels and how they impacted learning in the lessons
Identification of metacognitive skills used in the lesson
Self-monitoring and evaluation
Reflection on how life-style is impacting work
They are designed to be printed 4 per A4 page (and then cut/guillotined) so that students are given a 1/4 page worksheet, which is then stapled or glued into their exercise book. Students should complete these mini-worksheets as a form of DIRT (Dedicated Improvement Reflection Time) as the final activity of a learning-session or lesson. They are very quick: taking less than 5 minutes to distribute, complete and glue in.
It is advised that these are printed and guillotined in bulk: saving time and allowing them to use them repeatedly throughout the term. By cycling through all of them, it allows for varied metacognitive reflection to take place at the end of each lesson.
This product alone is a great way to bring metacognition into your school or class-room: there are a number of ways they can be deployed across the school so that students are given a good variety of reflection tasks on a regular basis - creating a culture of metacognitive reflection.
Notes on Printing: we have included ‘Print Ready’ .pdf format files along with the original .doc (Word) ones. When printing from Word, be sure to select ‘4 Pages Per Sheet’. Print one-sided, preferably in colour.

Designed for teachers using the new AQA Philosophy specification (teaching from 2017 onward).
This bundle contains 13 x revision sessions that cover the entire Epistemology and Moral Philosophy sections of the AS content.
The revision sessions can be used in a number of ways:
-As revision sessions during a revision period of term-time leading up to exams
-Sandwiched between lessons as they are taught throughout the year as a way of solidifying and assessing learning
-During extra-curricular time (KS5 Religious Studies Clubs)
This revision session features:
-A ‘grid of learning’ post-it task (to focus students on the day’s topic and refresh their memories of the basics)
-A 'competitive mind-mapping task (which can be completed on the whiteboard or on A3 paper)
-A silent debate task (with 6 x A3 silent debate worksheets in an editable .doc file) [nb. allowing group conversation, instead of silence, is also an effective approach]
-Debates that ask students to move from one side of the room or the other and verbalise a defence of their position in response to a statement or rubric.
-A concluding ‘One thing I am still uncertain about…’ post-it question.
