This printable textbook provides a systematic explanation for every point mentioned in the specification.
In the next section It then provides arguments for and against each point and, where appropriate, summarises arguments using premises and conclusions.
The file is a .doc Word file, 140 pages in length, 72000 words.
It is designed to be a comprehensive reader for AQA Philosophy students.
This should be viewed as a printable information book: it does not include learning activities or images. It aims to provide the necessary information as effectively and comprehensively as possible.
Note: it does not cover the Applied Ethics section which, if this resource succeeds, will be covered in a later volume.
Generate instant ethical debates!
This is a 200 slide PPT, containing 198 moral/ethical debates, discussions, and dilemmas.
It also contains a ‘randomiser’ slide: when clicked a random moral problem is presented to the group.
Uses:
-P4C (Philosophy for kids)
-Form time activities
-R.S./Philosophy/Citizenship cover lessons
-Debating societies
-Making best use of spare time at the end of lessons
Discussions follow one of four formats, each asking students to move from one side of the room or the other to make their position clear: teachers should then use questioning to foster a debate between students, encouraging them to present reasons for their choice and defend their position.
The formats are:
-“Which is more moral?” (students chose between two options)
-“Agree or disagree?” (where students respond to a presented statement about morality of a moral issue)
-“Who do you save?” (where students need to save one of two people/options, and justify the morality of their decision)
-“Moral or immoral?” (where students cast their judgement on a given action, event or person.
This resource is great value at £4.99 and cannot be found elsewhere:
-It clearly contributes to the Moral aspect of your school’s SMSC provision
-It allows for countless hours of discussion and debate to be structured in a focussed and engaging manner.
-It would take days to reproduce yourself.
-It can save vast amounts of staff time in preparing cover lessons
-It is the perfect way to make the most of any time a teacher might have left at the end of a lesson.
-It deals with cross curricular issues
Please note: this resource deals with controversial issues, debates and questions that may be deemed unsuitable for younger children. It is designed for secondary school students, but can be easily adapted to younger years with appropriate amendments by their teacher.

A3 DIRT Worksheet (15+ 5-star ratings!)
KS3 RE Units
This bundle contains 20 GCSE Sociology assessments in the form of practice exam sections. It is designed for the latest AQA specification.
Each of the 20 exam sections is half a full exam and takes 50 minutes for students to complete. Each of the 20 exam sections contain a standard set of questions including two 12-mark rubrics: a model answer for one of them is included for each assessment. Each of the 20 exam sections is accompanied by a mark-scheme.
In short, in this bundle you get 20 exam sections, 20 mark-schemes, and 20 model 12-mark answers.
This bundle should take care of most (if not all) of your GCSE Sociology assessment needs: students should ideally complete these 20 assessments over the 2-year course; data-collection of results allows for easy progress tracking. You may prefer to use them in the run-up to formal public exams: they are ideal for this also!
There are five assessments for each of the four main topics: Crime & Deviance, Education, Family & Social Stratification.
BONUS RESOURCES:
Assessment Feedback Worksheets x2 (A4)
Please note:
These are not official exam scripts, I do not work for AQA: I have aimed to make reasonable practice exam-questions based on the specimen material already provided. The papers follow the official AQA format and look like official papers. All items are editable: if you think the 12-mark model-answers are too intimidating, feel free to reduce them.

The course is very much student-led; encouraging independent research skills and engagement with the issues.
It is designed to be used, ideally, after teaching of normative/meta-ethical theories has been completed so that students can apply their knowledge to the issues listed in the specification.
Presentation and resources have been designed to the highest level of professionalism. As always, I am taking requests for making new resources: just email me at godwin86@gmail.com and follow me to stay updated about further releases.
If you teach AQA Philosophy, you should join the Facebook group: “Philosophy Teachers UK (AQA A-Level)” which is the largest philosophy teachers group in the UK, there you can benefit from free resource sharing, advice from other teachers, as well as hearing about the latest premium releases.
Thanks to all of those who have left reviews below and helped this to become the “go-to” resource for teaching Buddhism at GCSE level.

It is suitable for all GCSE specifications: especially AQA and OCR.
It covers all necessary material for the ‘Beliefs, Teachings & Practices’ section (Section A) of the course in relation to BUDDHISM.
It is the product of many weeks work: I have aimed to make these resources such that every lesson would receive a good or outstanding rating if inspected.
All lesson downloads include:
-A detailed lesson plan: explaining objectives, differentiation, cross-curricular aims, AfL tasks, and an activity timeline.
-A presentation file designed to the highest professional standard.
-Integrated and varied AfL
-A suggested homework task
The course features 15 worksheets, a ‘Buddhist board-game’ template, various ‘knowledge hunt’ activities and also features an IT Suite Lesson. It is designed to be a complete course for the first year of GCSE Religious Studies teaching.
Downloading this bundle will certainly save you many many hours of preparation time: as a practising Buddhist I hope it will allow Religious Studies Teachers to teach the Buddhist component of their chosen GCSE specification.
Positive reviews are warmly welcomed: I have made this course with pride and hope you will find it comprehensive and useful.
“May you be happy, may you be healthy, may you be peaceful.”

A3 DIRT Worksheet (15+ 5-star ratings!)
KS3 RE Units
This download is useful for any teachers who are hoping to foster critical thinking skills in KS2 or KS3 students.
This resource pack contains:
A double-sided A3 poster/table that identifies, describes and exemplifies 32 common logical fallacies
A 32 question ‘Logical Fallacy Quiz’ (with a teacher’s answer key)
An ‘analysing and evaluating philosophical arguments’ activity’
The A3 poster/table is an excellent resource in and of itself and can be used for other activities in the teaching of critical thinking skills.
The quiz is designed to be used alongside the table: students work in pairs or teams to identify examples of logical fallacies. There are 32 questions - which should be ample for a long lesson.
This activity can be differentiated by changing team sizes and/or shortening the quiz (allowing for more reflection time).
A smaller activity is also included: it introduces the idea of ‘philosophical arguments’, soundness, validity - and provides examples of simple philosophical arguments for young learners to analyse and evaluate.
This resource is designed with KS2 and KS3 students in mind.
A complete set of six revision sessions for each of the six sections of the ‘Buddhism’ [Developments in Buddhist Thought’] component of the AS-Level OCR Religious Studies specification (H173/H573).
Sessions use a variety of mind-mapping, discussion and debate tasks to cover each section of the specification.
The revision sessions can be used in a number of ways:
-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
-During extra-curricular time (KS5 Religious Studies Clubs)
This 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.
The cover picture depicts the quality of the resource: contents and activities may vary slightly between each session.
Larger bundles of similar revision sessions can also be purchased: saving you more money.

This bundle is for a collection of ‘Philosophy Boxes’ lessons/sessions.
Each session comprises a P4C lesson/session that can be used 2-3 times with the same group.
This contains the complete 20 sessions bundle designed for Primary School Teachers. It is tantamount to a complete cross-curricular P4C course and will be useful for countless hours of teaching across every subject. Many of the sessions are also great for tutor/form time.
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 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
Other bundles of ‘Philosophy Boxes’ lessons exist, depending on your need.

This bundle contains revision sessions for all six sub-sections of the A2 ‘Developments in Buddhist Thought’ content for OCR Religious Studies (new specification).
The sessions use a variety of mind-mapping, discussion and debate tasks to cover the designated section of the specification.
The revision sessions can be used in a number of ways:
-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
-During extra-curricular time (KS5 Religious Studies Clubs)
This revision session features:
-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.
This session can be purchased individually or as part of various bundles depending on your needs.
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.
