Hi welcome to my shop! I'm currently Head of Humanities, but I've also been head of department at a number of other schools, not to mention head of year. So I have a lot of high quality resources to share. I take real pride in trying to ensure my resources are well presented, clear, easy to use and of course challenging and engaging for the students. They have taken me a lot of time to make, but hopefully they will save you a lot of time. If you have any feedback then please review me!

This is a terrific lesson that challenges the pupils to create their own brand new religion. The lesson can be used as a stand alone lesson, or as part of the ‘Alternative Religions’ SoW. The lesson sets up an imaginary world where they get the opportunity to create their own unique religion based on what they have learned from their R.S. lessons. They work in groups to complete this task, and then present it to the class. The groups will then evaluate each others presentations and relgions (for some peer assessment). This lesson could be one, two or even three lessons.

Silent Debate Lesson

Silent Debate Lesson

(0)
This lesson was originally created for RS but can easily be adapted for any written subject (Especially English, History, Geography or PSHE) It encourages pupils to challenge each other and work on their literacy skills. The students have to support or challenge a proposition, and then have a live debate but in complete silence. It is also good prep for writing an essay style question in RS where the students need to consider multiple perspectives about the same issue. The students love this lesson and often ask to do the lesson again! This is a surprisingly effective lesson that the pupils really enjoy.

What are the main Causes of War?

An interesting lesson that looks at the different causes of war and conflict. This is a useful lesson as it helps students to consider the different causes and assess how justifed most wars really are. It looks at why individuals go to war, and contrasts this as to why countries go to war. It also looks at a recent case study (Syria). It asks the students to think about what war is really like, why does war still exist and what can we do to end war.
