The Ghost of a Flea- Lessons for RE

My name is Andy and I have taught Religion and philosophy for over 20 years. My shop is called the 'Ghost of a Flea' as I am inspired by William Blake's love of imagination as the key to life. I believe this can also be applied to education. My resources will cover more traditional areas such as exam papers. However, there will also be lessons related to art and my own personal interest of using anthropology within RE.

If you wish to see what is included in this lesson, please access the resource below. AQA GCSE SAMPLE PAPER THEME D WAR. https://woodhousegrove-my.sharepoint.com/:v:/g/personal/jennings_a_woodhousegrove_co_uk/EcPbYdOi86hPojGNrpBu89sBJpw5Ja3z9ntKPwgXyMoItg?e=FozvAw This resource takes you through a GCSE RELIGIOUS STUDIES SAMPLE WAR paper. However, before any answers are given it presents a clue in the form of a picture, a question or even an unfinished quote so that the pupils can work out the answers themselves. This allows the teacher to draw some answers out from the pupils before suggestions are revealed. Further slides then suggest answers with potential wording and paragraphs. The 12 mark question asks leading questions to draw out the arguments on both sides and this leads to a table. It then has a number of suggested paragraphs; pupils might want to comment on the ways they can be improved. The religions used in the answers are Christianity and Judaism, although there are some brief mentions of Buddhist thought. As an exam marker for this paper, I have included the odd hint and tip in relation to exam technique. Questions are below. Which one of the following is not a reason for war? (1) A) Self defence B) Greed C) Retaliation D) Forgiveness. Give two religious beliefs that show that violence is wrong. (2) Explain two similar religious beliefs about pacifism. In your answer you must refer to one or more religious traditions. (4) Explain two religious beliefs about just war. Refer to scripture or sacred writings in your answer. (5) ‘There are no good reasons for countries to possess nuclear weapons.’ (12)

Gives a simple, yet effective intro to the syllabus points below. Invites responses with questions and uses pictures to clarity each point that is relevant. Key terms are identified, broken down and defined. *Features of mental states: • All or at least some mental states have phenomenal properties • Some, but not all, philosophers use the term ‘qualia’ to refer to these properties, where ‘qualia’ are defined as ‘intrinsic and non-intentional phenomenal properties that are introspectively accessible’ • All or at least some mental states have intentional properties (ie intentionality)*

This powerpoint runs through section 1.4 of the AQA syllabus. It uses the syllabus points as a guide and takes the students through each of those points one by one. It also makes reference one of the main text books by Hodder education (Hayward, Jones, Cardinal)- however, these are only fleeting references so it would not make any difference if you did not use this text book. There are also some potential exam questions at the end.
