Students can either complete the activities based on the Prophet Muhammad’s life as homework or continue if they have time within the lesson. If you find this lesson useful, please leave a review!

This resource is designed for AS/A Level students taking the Eduqas/WJEC curriculum. In this resource we go through: Key concepts Scholars, dates, books Design qua purpose Design qua regularity Aquinas teleological argument Paley’s watch maker analogy This is all done through structured and interactive activities, designed to prepare them for exam writing as well as getting the new content from their working memory into their long term!

This worksheet is designed for the students to collate the main points, quotes, dates, books and scholars who are in support of Anselm’s ontological argument.

In this work sheet the students are guided through the basics on Natural Law, including quotes; who is Thomas Aquinas; and what the primary precepts are. This is a great resource for GCSE students or AS/A Level!

In this work sheet we look at the basics of what Aquinas means by ‘apparent’ and ‘real’ goods. Appropriate for AS/A Level students.

Topic: Natural Law Sub topic: Applying Natural Law to abortion In these work sheets the students are asked to looked at several arguments based around abortion and identify if they are in support of a woman’s right to have an abortion; or if they are arguments against having an abortion. The second work sheet helps with exam practice by asking the students to create an introduction and conclusion to the arguments already put into a coherant structure.

In this resource, we begin Anselm’s ontological argument. This lesson is focussed on key words for the topic; the scholar; the context in which he was writing; and his premises within his first argument. This resource also contains independent research tasks for the students to carry about before the next lesson where we introduce Gaunilo’s criticism leading to Anselm’s edited argument. This resource has been tried and tested by my 16-17 year old students currently remote learning. This led to a successful understanding of the first part of the argument. This resource is simple to follow, with clear images, a simple structure and interactive activities for the students to be engaging with. The activities are also embedded within this file.

In this voice over resource, I talk you through the introduction to the ontological argument and the activities the students are to carry on. This lesson covers- Retrieval practice of key concepts linked to the ontological argument Retrieval practice of the cosmological argument Who is Anselm? What is the first part of Anselm’s argument? Independent tasks the students carry out to prepare them for next lesson. I have not included the videos included due to copyright. Best wishes, Miss Green

In this lesson we integrate retrieval practice; and exam practice to get Anselm’s ontologocial argument from the working memory into the long term. From here we do interactive activities to get the students to understand Gaunilo’s criticisms and Anselm’s addition to the argument. There is a clear structure to this lesson with helpful images to assist the students learning and understanding of Alvin Plantinga’s support of Anselm and Aquinas’ critiques.

In this second A Level class on Challenges to the Existence of God we look in depth at the logical problem of evil: Inconsistent Triad; Evidential; and Statistical problem of evil. There are check-ins throughout the lesson to ensure that the students are confident on the new information before they move on. This lesson you require the WJEC/Eduqas revision book, if not I will be making future resources on the three types of arguments in the future which you can use for the question/answer!

In this resource we look at- The definition of feminism The controversy around feminists What is toxic masculinity? Evaluating our own opinion if we would class ourselves as feminists This is a tried and tested lesson which worked amazing for a group of Y9, it can lead to some charged discussions so have a disclaimer at the beginning setting the ground rules of your classroom e.g. what will/won’t be tolerated!

In this lesson we have: A quick recap on Aquinas and Paley’s teleological argument Guide through how to structure a 20 marker essay Analyse an exam style paragraph on the teleological argument Arguments against the teleological argument Arguments for the teleological argument Guidance on independent resources to understand argument with others explaining it This lesson has been tried and tested in front of A Level students and was a success! This lesson was carried out remotely as it was done during lock down for COVID-19 therefore works both as an online and live lesson.

In this introduction lesson we assess the key words for this topic and get the students to delve deep into their own understanding of why they think there is evil in the world. Areas covered in the lesson: Evaluating students views on evil in the world The Logical Problem of Evil (Inconsistent Triad) Independent activities using the worksheet provided. This lesson was carried out during remote learning due to COVID-19. This works very well as a virtual and live lesson!

In this lesson we look at- Syndresis Rule Who is Thomas Aquinas? 4 Laws Aristotle and Purpose Doctrine of Double Effect Primary and secondary precepts This is a tried and tested lesson and works well live (if you wish to delete the voice over on the top) or as a revision lesson if the students are on their own and wish to be guided through the activities with the voice over!

I have used this resource within form time for my Y7 students! This is a quick activity which can generate some interesting discussion from the students about their approach to studying. Training the students early about resilience and the power of growth mindsets is going to be invaluable for them during exam season and once they leave school.

In this lesson we- Go through three confidence checklists for the cosmological, teleological, ontological arguments. Each checklist containing- main content for topic; key quotes; key scholars (dates and books); key words; possible 20 markers and 30 markers asked. Review learning of the three existence of God arguments in bite sized activities. Independent revision task guidance. This lesson has been successfully tried and tested and led my students to feel confident in their revision of this big unit of work. This lesson was carried out during COVID-19 remote learning therefore is successful as an online or live lesson!

In this resource pack you will find- Confidence tracker for the cosmological, teleological, ontological arguments and the problem of evil. Key quotes for each argument Key words for each argument Key scholars with their dates and books for each argument Possible exam style questions to be asked Main areas covered within the topic These sheets have been invaluable for my A Level students to have all of the information for each topic consolidated to each page. They have each of these confidence trackers at the front of their folder for each topic in the Philosophy Unit.
