There is lots of historical background and detailed info on the case presented visually to make the 1957 film come to life in terms of critical thinking / the study of ethics , citizenship, law, and justice.
Bundle
Developments in Christian Thought podcast series 1
6 podcasts covering half of the content of The Developments in Christian Thought section of the course for £5. We get our students at The Manchester Grammar School to listen to these before we begin teaching a module so that they can engage in discussion from the outset. They can stick them on their phone / iPod and listen to them on the bus into school or at home. It also means that when you start teaching, it's the second time students are encountering ideas, so they learn more. Hope you find them useful - there's a Marx one for free to show you the type of format. Let us know what you think and we'll take this on board for the second series.
Thanks,
Mark Coffey (M.A. Oxon, M.A.Leeds & author of Ethics for OCR, Polity Press) and Dr Andrew Brower-Latz (PhD, Durham & author of The Social Philosophy of Gillian Rose)

Marxism - OCR RS Unit 6 - Challenges
This podcast series introduces topics for the OCR Religious Studies Developments in Christian Thought section of the A Level. In our teaching at The Manchester Grammar School, we get students to listen to these before beginning a topic so that they already have some background understanding, vocabulary, and a sense of the landscape of a topic. It speeds up their learning and engagement in discussion.
N.B. It was 1845 that Marx and Engels met in Cheetham's Library in what was MGS, not the 1870's as mentioned at the outset of this podcast.
