Middle School Buddhism Course (Complete Resources for 20 Lessons!)

This bundle comprises the ideal resources for teaching about Buddhism at Middle School level. The course specification is based around the British OCR exam specification for Religious Studies (teaching Buddhism) at GCSE level (i.e. 8th, 9th and 10th grade in the US system). 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.

These resources for the Buddhism topic are really outstanding. So detailed and interesting and worth every penny. Varied resources and activities and great attention to detail. I would not hesitate to buy resources from Godwin86 in the future. Fantastic.
