In this lesson we look at- Syndresis Rule Who is Thomas Aquinas? 4 Laws Aristotle and Purpose Doctrine of Double Effect Primary and secondary precepts This is a tried and tested lesson and works well live (if you wish to delete the voice over on the top) or as a revision lesson if the students are on their own and wish to be guided through the activities with the voice over!

In this lesson we have: A quick recap on Aquinas and Paley’s teleological argument Guide through how to structure a 20 marker essay Analyse an exam style paragraph on the teleological argument Arguments against the teleological argument Arguments for the teleological argument Guidance on independent resources to understand argument with others explaining it This lesson has been tried and tested in front of A Level students and was a success! This lesson was carried out remotely as it was done during lock down for COVID-19 therefore works both as an online and live lesson.

In this second A Level class on Challenges to the Existence of God we look in depth at the logical problem of evil: Inconsistent Triad; Evidential; and Statistical problem of evil. There are check-ins throughout the lesson to ensure that the students are confident on the new information before they move on. This lesson you require the WJEC/Eduqas revision book, if not I will be making future resources on the three types of arguments in the future which you can use for the question/answer!

In this KS4 lesson, we introduce challenges to the existence of God in the form of the Problem of Evil. In this lesson- Key terms Students evaluate why they think evil is in the world Moral and Natural evil Catholic VS Fundamental Christian views on original sin Worksheet for the lesson is provided!

In this resource we go through: Key concepts Scholars, dates, books Design qua purpose Design qua regularity Aquinas teleological argument Paley’s watch maker analogy This is all done through structured and interactive activities, designed to prepare them for exam writing as well as getting the new content from their working memory into their long term!

Topic: Natural Law Sub topic: Applying Natural Law to abortion In these work sheets the students are asked to looked at several arguments based around abortion and identify if they are in support of a woman’s right to have an abortion; or if they are arguments against having an abortion. The second work sheet helps with exam practice by asking the students to create an introduction and conclusion to the arguments already put into a coherant structure.

In this work sheet we look at the basics of what Aquinas means by ‘apparent’ and ‘real’ goods. Appropriate for AS/A Level students.

In this work sheet the students are guided through the basics on Natural Law, including quotes; who is Thomas Aquinas; and what the primary precepts are. This is a great resource for GCSE students or AS/A Level!

In this lesson we integrate retrieval practice; and exam practice to get Anselm’s ontologocial argument from the working memory into the long term. From here we do interactive activities to get the students to understand Gaunilo’s criticisms and Anselm’s addition to the argument. There is a clear structure to this lesson with helpful images to assist the students learning and understanding of Alvin Plantinga’s support of Anselm and Aquinas’ critiques.

In this voice over resource, I talk you through the introduction to the ontological argument and the activities the students are to carry on. This lesson covers- Retrieval practice of key concepts linked to the ontological argument Retrieval practice of the cosmological argument Who is Anselm? What is the first part of Anselm’s argument? Independent tasks the students carry out to prepare them for next lesson. I have not included the videos included due to copyright. Best wishes, Miss Green

In this resource, we begin Anselm’s ontological argument. This lesson is focussed on key words for the topic; the scholar; the context in which he was writing; and his premises within his first argument. This resource also contains independent research tasks for the students to carry about before the next lesson where we introduce Gaunilo’s criticism leading to Anselm’s edited argument. This resource has been tried and tested by my 16-17 year old students currently remote learning. This led to a successful understanding of the first part of the argument. This resource is simple to follow, with clear images, a simple structure and interactive activities for the students to be engaging with. The activities are also embedded within this file.
