This lesson is all about reconciliation and follows the AQA textbook. I have punctuated the lesson with various questions including some exam style ones. As with all my powerpoints, key words are colour coded in blue boxes, key quotes in yellow.

This game is played in similar fashion to a well known one. The person with the highest score wins… Excellent for revision or just giving students a general context of philosophy.

This lesson covers the work of three charities including street pastors, Trussell trust abd the oasis project (Carousel activity) It also includes some really helpful videos on street pastors and Trussell trust.

A level lesson on Aquinas' Natural Moral Law, originally used as a revision lesson but easily works for a standard lesson, probably enough content to run over 2-3 hours of teaching on. Based on the new AQA A level but caters well enough for previous exam boards specs. Content covers key elements such as: Background/history Key features (absolutist/deontological) Theory - Telos, Eudaimonia 4 Laws Precepts Interior/exterior acts Double effect. PLEASE REVIEW :)

This lesson follows the Church’s response to worldwide poverty following the AQA textbook. I have put a few questions throughout but the bulk of the lesson was designed to be an information retrieval/into a mind map activity - easily adaptable to carousel or group work. There are information sheets for each of the charities they can research.

This is a game I've created for my year 11's. They've been struggling with keywords so this is a fun activity that can be played multiple times with them. There are differing levels of rules so can allow for differentiation as well. The cards have been created so that you can print them double sided and the tiles will match up (or print and photocopy 1sided - 2 sided and it should work) I recommend laminating and printing each set of different colour paper. There are about 30 words in total. The rules in short are, Spread the cards out across your table with the keyword facing up Each player takes it in turn to select a card and guess the definition of the word. If the player guesses correctly with the reverse of the card they keep the card and add it to their pile. If they are incorrect the leave the card to the table and put back 3 cards from their hand. Winner is the person with the most cards at the end of the game. Also available as bundle Also available Christianity Islam Themes A - F Please review! Thanks

I focus the majority of this unit on Christianity as there is enough diversity to fulfill the exam requirements. However, it does still include Islam when appropriate. This lesson contains lots of information slides, ideal for home learning/revision. Easily adaptable into active learning strategies for your teaching style.

This is an organised and differentiated project designed as the culmination of the CRE SOW (also available) I advise you adapt it to your class, the year 9s were able to do all of these but year 7 may struggle so limit it to just two tasks/topics possibly. Students should present their research.

This lesson focuses mainly on Christianity and looks at marriage and it’s value for Christians. It thinks about the nature and purpose of marriage for Christians. You can’t teach this without touching on the difficulty of homosexual marriage for Christians, this idea is explored in previous lessons but comes up again here. There are a couple videos, one is a nice one of the recent royal wedding, I found my students went all gushy and it was a nice moment as a class. The activity associated is about spotting the symbolism and understanding what it says about the beliefs.

This is part of a unit introducing RE and the skills and process of doing it. There is a card sort for the skills in RS open ended differentiation. There is also an activity around building arguments, we didn't get to this in 45 minute lessons but it is there as an option. There is also the syllogism game I developed, this is great fun with my year 9s and some of the absurdities generated can be hilarious!

This lesson looks at the way Christians evangelise today. There is a video on Alpha, and the one on John Chau which appeared in the news - really useful for discussion. I got students to do a for and against for evangelism they cam up with loads of ideas.

Lesson on discerning what is true - looking at the different modes of existence. Sorting activity included. lots of discussion will ensue - enjoy!

This activity looks at evidence and the nature of value when determining truth. Physical Evidence, Experience, Credibility. The activity looks at a story in which the head teacher (I made it the head teacher as it is more fun - I suggest you change it to your HT) has lost some chocolate and is trying to discover who took it, however the evidence conflicts. Students enjoy the detective like feel to the lesson, they really get the concept of evidence leads to factual conclusion, but different evidence is important, not just the physical.

Lesson 1 of 7, This goes into quite a lot of detail, some of which you may find you don’t want to touch with your classes, e.g. the stuff about the ancient Greek practice of pederasty. It’s really an exploratory lesson designed to open up dialogue, and set the context of the conversation about sexual ethics.

Rather fittingly perhaps, this lesson follows on from marriage. We look at the contrasting attitudes to divorce within Christianity and why some see it as ok whilst many have difficulty with it. Exam style questions included.

Predestination in Islam, Beliefs Unit GCSE RS AQA New Spec
