This is a debate lesson that I planned and put together - it follows after my other lesson on Religious responses and Explanations to suffering. Overall - this lesson aims to bring together all the things that they have learnt in the topic and gives them the opportunity to express their understanding of the topic and to evaluate the various arguments that arise with the problem of evil and suffering. Documents 5-9 are the resources that I gave to the students to help them plan - the resources may seem a little heavy but these were top ability year 10 groups so they managed them well. Documents 1 and 2 are the sheets that groups used to write down their arguments. Document 3 has a number of pictures displaying suffering and could be used by pupils in the debate to support the points they are making. Document 4 is the starter and this can be displayed in different parts of the class. The whole point in this lesson is that the students should talk and discuss throughout the duration of the lesson in a controlled manner with very little imput needed from the teacher. I would recommend that this resource be used in conjuction with the scheme - the lessons on evil, on religious views on suffering, the nature of evil, the problem of evil and the religious explanations and responses to evil and suffering - they will probably struggle a little if you decide to have a one off in my opinion.
