These are some resources tailored to AQA RSS02 but hopefully useful generally. The Kant week is good fun- students throw themselves into it, often offending and insulting people along the way (I just blame Kant). The log is designed to help students reflect on the practical problems raised by Kant's theory.

A quick resource for revision or differentiated learning on the characteristics commonly associated with God

I have aimed this for year 7 RE students but think it could be adapted to different subjects and possibly lower year groups. I've done this 3 years running and the lessons they do are alarmingly good (far better than any of the ones I plan).

The worksheet on Christian views is a few years old now and could perhaps be updated (be my guest!). The other pieces are a suicide info sheet and a discussion task. I asked students to give me a case study and we then discussed the different advice and ideas of people around the patient, using the info to create a role play. At the end, students weighed up the arguments. The ppt contains hyperlinks to 4 short clips that are useful as a stimulus. Just click on the video camera.

AMENDED (thanks for feedback!) 'sacred writings mini textbook&' guide to scripture for the OCR GCSE module Christianity (2). I borrowed initially from the OCR textbook but added a lot more detail and depth and some practise questions. NEW now includes an activity of different learning stations.

A couple of years ago I had this crazy idea to get my year 9 ethics students to create a soap opera where various moral issues were dealt with according to religious and secular ethical principles. Now we just change the ending of current storylines. I suspect the storylines need updating! Thanks.

An evaluation sheet (old spec AQA) and a great Mill slide show that some of my year 10 Ethics students just showed to their class a few weeks ago (quite funny, I think).

These are a mixture of resources I and my students have made. Please let me know if you think the student work is of any help- I would love to pass the praise back to the girls who wrote them. Thanks.

This is a full and well resourced scheme of work on Islam. It includes a scheme of work document, extensive resources for all abilities and plenty of opportunities for assessment. The scheme of work includes an initial mythbusting task (very successful with students of all ages), then work on the nature of Allah, the prophet Muhammad's life, detailed work on each of the 5 pillars of Islam, the nature of tawhid and shirk, and a project on women in Islam. Included are various tasks which are academically rigorous as well as fun and thought provoking (not always at the same time). Outside of the scheme of work, I also include some other useful resources. Please feel free to contact me after purchase if you have any questions about the resources or if anything seems amiss. Many thanks.

For B589 OCR World Perspectives unit but could also be used to resource lessons on creationism, stewardship & animal rights.

Not the most riveting sounding lesson but could be a useful resource

Tailored for AQA but presumably useful for other courses. I did Moody in a lot of depth but the examiner's report from last year suggested they had to know more than one set of research into NDEs. As it happens, the NDE research of Ring was used by one of his students to support the belief in reincarnation and that is here also ('other research into NDEs').

Some discussion of reincarnation that operates outide the traditional beliefs of Hinduism or (arguably) Buddhism. I also have a copy of Stevenson's '20 cases suggestive of reincarnation' which is really helpful to teach this with.

Here is a complete set of resources for the study of the problem of evil at A level. This set of resources comes from around 100 hours worth of work and hopefully contains a fairly wide variety of tasks and stimuli, as well as thorough revision notes and an interim assessment. There are around 25 original resources here, and should suit students of all abilities as well as teachers who are either new to the topic or relatively seasoned and just looking for some new ideas. The resources are numbered to show the order in which I have always taught them. The resource list in full is: -Introductions to the problem of evil (both brief and more detailed) -Key vocab flashcards for discussing the nature of God -additional reading e.g. articles on free will and selected passages from books -research instructions for exploring moral and natural evil -incredibly detailed notes on the evidential and logical problems of evil, and how these link to inductive and deductive arguments -Detailed flashcards on Augustine and the FWD -detailed notes on Hick's vale of soul making theodicy -tasks evaluating the different theodicies -notes for a detailed discussion of the free will defence including biological accounts of determinism -background notes on Plato's demiurge as well as an overview of how process thought attempts to resolve the problem of evil -resources for the discussion of Hannah Arendt's banality of evil -a detailed revision guide named TO PUT IT SIMPLY (possibly a bit chatty in tone for some, so I include a word document)

This is to encourage students to reflect on identity and self, in preparation for a lesson on the concept of anatta or 'no self' in Buddhism. I have done it with year 7, 9 and 10 over the years (making various changes) and I always get out of it what I need to. Hope it&'s useful to someone else somewhere...
