A lesson I prepared for an Ofsted inspection 2014-15 for an A2 Philosophy & Ethics Class. The structure/style/activities could be adapted for any key stage and subject. Please do leave a comment here on to @Mr_Betts

A lesson I used for an Ofsted observation lesson. It worked very well and generated some deep discussions. Clear progression throughout. The final slides were printed for students to organise into 'for&' and &';against' columns on their tables and to assist when answering the d) style question. This is based on the edexcel &'s specification for Unit 8 &';Religion & Society', though very adaptable for other specs.

A power point for our core RE lessons on the topic of 'Community Cohesion', an edexcel Religious Studies topic. This lesson also links to recent news stories and themes (e.g. freedom of speech) relating to acts of terrorism in France 2015.

Please contact @Mr_Betts on twitter for the additional resources referred to in the powerpoint.

A template to assist summarising or condensing any piece of text or extract. Would be suitable for a range of theory/content heavy subjects. For each paragraph/section students write down two trigger words and expand upon their significance in the box beside it. Once completed they join with a learning partner and fold their worksheet so that only the two trigger words are visible. Students must then verbalise their learning to one another and then feedback what they have be taught by their partner.
