KS3 RE Units

This lesson focuses on ‘Power Relationships’ and pays special attention to the researcher Walby and her feminist analysis of patriarchal structures in society.

-A premium quality PowerPoint presentation (fully animated) that covers the entire lesson

This bundle includes a professionally designed Christmas quiz tailor-made for teachers of Religious Studies to use with their students. It includes a PowerPoint Quiz with 60 well-presented questions and three A4 Christmas crossword worksheets! Answer sheets are provided.
[it also includes an older version of the RE Christmas Quiz, for free, in case you prefer it]
In the quiz, fifty of the questions are Christmas-related and not connected to a specific school-subject: the final ten are subject-specific and deal either with GCSE terminology, KS4 exam specification contents, or “fun facts”.
Completing and peer-marking the 60-question quiz should take the best part of a 1-hour lesson.
The bundle also includes a set of three A4 Christmas Crosswords (with answers).
The crossword worksheets are Christmas themed, all of the clues/answers are Christmas related. These are ‘Christmas Trivia’ crosswords dealing with Christmas-related general knowledge: they are, therefore, suitable for teachers/students of any subject.
This product is suitable for any age-group: differentiation should be achieved by changing team sizes.
The resource is fully editable.
Merry Christmas! <3

-During extra-curricular time (KS5 Religious Studies Clubs)

-A 'competitive mind-mapping task (which can be completed on the whiteboard or on A3 paper)
-A silent debate task (with 6 x A3 silent debate worksheets in an editable .doc file) [nb. allowing group conversation, instead of silence, is also an effective approach]

This session can be purchased individually or as pat of various bundles depending on your needs.

The Philosophy Boxes Method is a new approach to P4C designed for students in KS1, 2 & 3: it is graphically stimulating, engaging, and fun. This download is also suitable for older students: but the format was designed with younger students in mind.
The topic of this Philosophy Boxes download is 'Citizenship: “What does it mean to be a good citizen?”
The aim of Philosophy Boxes is to bring philosophy and critical thinking into every subject at every level: we believe that any subject becomes philosophy when students are asked the right questions and when they think about a topic hard enough and on the deepest (most fundamental) level.
The Philosophy Boxes Method presents students with a set of ‘mystery boxes’, when a student selects one of the boxes they are presented with 1 of 21 discussion/debate activities [that use 1 of 8 different formats].
The presentation has integrated AfL so that teachers can test knowledge at any point in the lesson. There are 10 different AfL slides to choose from.
The design is colourful, animated, fun and engaging: all activities require movement and teachers can decide whether students are expressing their ideas purely verbally or by using post-it notes.
The nature of the design is that it can be used for short sessions (5-10 minutes) or much longer sessions (up to 2 hours!) - it allows for classroom practitioners to be flexible and adaptable. It can, therefore, be used in lessons or as a tutor-time activity.
The download includes a PowerPoint Show; if you would like an editable PPT presentation so that you can make your own ‘Philosophy Boxes’ presentation you will need to download the template here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-the-philosophy-boxes-method-template-for-creating-your-own-philosophy-boxes-lessons-p4c-p4k-11463227
A complete selection of Philosophy Boxes lessons can be found here: https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?&q=philosophy+boxes+godwin86
You can also save money by purchasing lessons as bundles.
This bundle contains 5 revision sessions, designed to cover the ‘Work, Poverty & Welfare’ section of the new AQA Sociology specification.
The revision sessions feature:
-A ‘grid of learning’ post-it task (to focus students on the day’s topic and refresh their memories of the basics)
-A 'competitive mind-mapping task (which can be completed on the whiteboard or on A3 paper)
-A silent debate task (with 6 x A3 silent debate worksheets in an editable .doc file) [nb. allowing group conversation, instead of silence, is also an effective approach]
-Debates that ask students to move from one side of the room or the other and verbalise a defence of their position in response to a statement or rubric.
-A concluding ‘One thing I am still uncertain about…’ post-it question.
Each session follows the same format, they can be:
-Used as revision sessions during a revision period of term-time leading up to exams
-Sandwiched between lessons as they are taught throughout the year as a way of solidifying and assessing learning
Please note: the cover picture depicts some of the activities that make up this revision session, the wording within those tasks is adapted to the topic specified above and may differ from the wording depicted. Contents and tasks may vary slightly between revision sessions. The cover photo is, however, a fair depiction of the contents of the lesson.

A3 DIRT Worksheet (15+ 5-star ratings!)
KS3 RE Units
This multi-use interactive learning session is an ideal way to introduce philosophy to young learners.
This session uses our unique format for philosophy teaching resources and features an integrated menu that allows teachers to select from a variety of starter, main, plenary, assessment and end-of-lesson reflection activities. With a massive selection of activities designed to trigger philosophical discussions, debates and reflections: you can re-use the resource numerous times with the same group.
We designed this lesson not only to introduce philosophy as an intellectual discipline but to inspire a love of philosophical thinking. To this end this session explores topics such as:
The nature of philosophy
The different fields of philosophy (epistemology, metaphysics, ethics etc.)
The philosophical method (of reasoned argumentation)
The difference between knowledge and mere belief
The big question asked in this session is “What is Philosophy?”. Using a variety of engaging activities students will discuss and debate a range of other philosophical questions such as
Why is it important to think deeply about things?
To what extent is it important to question and challenge the assumptions we live by?
What is the difference between intelligence and wisdom?
To what extent is certain knowledge possible?
Students will analyse and evaluate an eclectic mix of philosophical claims that have been chosen to represent the extensive range of philosophical enquiry such as:
“We should not trust our senses as they are too limited, easy to trick and unreliable”
“It’s important to be a sceptic and to doubt claims we hear and read on the internet”
“The biggest moral problem of our age is how we treat animals”
Aside from a wide range of debate and discussion activities, teachers can also choose from a variety of more substantial activities such as essay writing, poetry writing, and speech writing tasks.
This resource is suitable for teachers of all school subjects who are looking to introduce philosophy, philosophical thinking and critical thinking. As with all our resources, this session will help students to develop vital communication, social and interpersonal skills: healthy debates will help learners to practice ‘disagreeing in an agreeable fashion’.
This resource is suitable for students aged 8-16; due to the flexible nature of the sessions design it can be used for multiple hour-long sessions or as a stimulating tutor-group activity. The file is a PowerPoint Show: no planning or preparation is required.
This multi-use interactive philosophy lesson explores ‘Philosophy of Mind’: the field of philosophy that studies the nature of the mind and how it is linked to the body. The session will also trigger fascinating discussions about ‘the problem of other minds’, how we know whether or not something has a mind, solipsism, how to study the mind, and the possibilities of generating artificial consciousness.
This session is ideal for teachers who want to explore philosophy with students aged 8-16; we’ve carefully selected the most significant issues and questions relating to philosophy of mind so that young learners can engage in fun philosophical discussions and debates. This session explores topics such as:
The nature of the mind
Qualities and properties associated with the mind
The manner in which the mind can be said to exist
The relationship between the brain and the mind
It outlines and explores the fundamental debate at the core of philosophy of mind surrounding mind-body dualism, physicalism, idealism as well as classic philosophical problems such as the problem of other minds and ‘The Hard Problem of Consciousness’.
The big question asked in this session is “Do we ever experience anything other than our own mind?”. Using a variety of engaging activities students will discuss and debate a wide range of other philosophical questions such as
What is the mind made of?
Do plants have minds?
What is the size, shape, and location of the mind?
How could you prove to someone else that you have a mind? and
What is ‘the external world’ like beyond our mental representations of it?
Students will also analyse and evaluate an eclectic mix of philosophical claims such as:
“There is no ‘mental stuff’ in reality: only physical stuff exists”
“The mind does not have a size”
“One day humans will create a computer that has a mind or a conscious experience of existence” and
“The colour red doesn’t actually exist in the world: it’s a mental quality that only exists in the mind”
This resource is suitable for students aged 8-16; due to the flexible nature of the sessions design it can be used for multiple hour-long sessions or as a short stimulating tutor-group activity. This session uses our unique format for philosophy teaching resources and features an integrated menu that allows teachers to select from a variety of starter, main, plenary, assessment and end-of-lesson reflection activities.
The file is a PowerPoint Show: no planning or preparation is required, just run the file and the intuitive menu system will make delivering a powerful philosophy session very easy!
This bundle contains ten fully resourced and professionally designed KS4 Religious Studies lessons as well as additional teaching materials for GCSE Religious Studies: Thematic Studies.
It has been created for the latest AQA GCSE Religious Studies Specification and covers the thematic study ‘The Existence of God & Revelation’ (Theme C) and focuses on Christian teachings. It should be useful to all GCSE Religious Studies teachers: even if using other specifications.
The download includes 10 Lessons, though some can be used over two 1-hour periods:
Introduction
Central Debates
The Design & First Cause Arguments
Revelations & Religious Experience
The Argument from Miracles
The Problem of Evil
ICT Suite Lesson
Special & General Revelations (& The Bible)
Assessment Lesson

The bundle also includes:

For most RE teachers this download includes everything you need to teach this thematic study, not including the comparative religion aspect of the thematic study.

My ambition was to make the best available thematic studies resources on Tes, so I hope you like it!

KS3 RE Units
Copyright Adam Godwin (2018)
This fun philosophy lesson focuses on political philosophy: the branch of philosophy that explores matters relating to politics, liberty, justice, property, and rights. Political philosophy also explores law and how laws are enforced by authorities, the purpose of government, what rights and freedoms it should protect, what form it should take.
Political philosophers also investigate the responsibilities and duties we all have in relation to the state, what duties citizens owe to a legitimate government, and when (if ever) governments may be legitimately overthrown through revolution. This session introduces political philosophy to young learners and refers to important philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
This session is of interest to all teachers working with students aged 8-16 but has a special relevance to teachers of civics, politics, and those covering politics in their school’s PSHE/SMSC curricula. This session explores topics such as:
Different forms of government
The importance of laws
The nature of freedom and ‘free societies’
Human Rights
The nature of utopias and dystopias
The big question asked in this session is “What would a perfect society (utopia) be like? To what extent is creating one possible?”. Using a variety of engaging activities students will discuss and debate a wide range of other philosophical questions such as:
What do terms like ‘freedom’ and ‘liberty’ really mean?
What qualities ought a good leader of a country to have?
All in all, are we more or less free as a result of living in a modern civilised society?
In our own society, which laws (if any) do you think are potentially unjust?
Students will also analyse and evaluate an eclectic mix of philosophical claims such as:
“Society cannot function without people sacrificing certain freedoms”
“I would rather live in a tribe in the jungle than in a modern society”
“I can think of ways to improve this society and make it a better system for people to live in”
This session uses our unique format for philosophy teaching resources and features an integrated menu that allows teachers to select from a variety of starter, main, plenary, assessment and end-of-lesson reflection activities.
The file is a PowerPoint Show: no planning or preparation is required, just run the file and the intuitive menu system will make delivering a powerful philosophy session very easy! This resource is suitable for students aged 8-16; due to the flexible nature of the sessions design it can be used for multiple hour-long sessions or as a short stimulating tutor-group activity.

This is the third in a series of lessons on Buddhism for GCSE level students for the 'Beliefs, Teachings & Practices' section of the course [section A]. It is suitable for all exam-boards.
The complete series of GCSE Budhism lessons, as well as learning mats, PLCs and revision sessions can be downloaded at our TES Shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/godwin86
Lesson 3 deals with: The 12 Links (Nidanas), Dependant Origination, Reincarnation.
• The meaning of the term: dependent origination or conditionality
