This is the eighteenth in a series of lessons on Buddhism for GCSE level students for the ‘Beliefs, Teachings & Practices’ section of the course [section A].

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

The Download (comprising 3 files, within one zip file) includes:
-A PPT Containing a Full Lesson
-A complete lesson plan covering: objectives, key-words, differentiation, and lesson timeline
-A double sided worksheet
-A Homework Task

This lesson requires use of an I.T./I.C.T/Computer Suite: the format of the lesson is centred around researching Buddhist festivals in order to create a presentation (including quiz questions), and then peer assessment of work. It also features ‘on the fly’ AfL tasks to check learning progress.

It is a tried and tested format for I.C.T.-based Philosophy & Religion Lessons and, once downloaded, you will be able to adapt it to other topics with ease.

The topic of the lesson focusses on the following part of the specification:

The origins, associated stories and customs of the following festivals:
• Wesak or Hanamatrsui (Therevada/Mahayana)
• Vassa/Rain Retreat (Therevada)
• Uposatha Days (Therevada)
• Parinirvana day (Mahayana)
• Lama Tsong Khapa Day (Tibetan)
• The importance of marking different parts of the Buddha’s life
• The purpose of Vassa and its observance by lay Buddhists today
• The purpose of Uposatha days
• The purpose of festivals not connected to the Buddha directly, the popularity of these festivals and their place within Buddhism, including the Lama Tsong Khapa day
• The influence of local culture on practices associated with Buddhist festivals
• Different interpretations and emphases given to sources of wisdom and authority by different Buddhist groups

GCSE Buddhism - 20 Lessons

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. This bundle contains 20 high-quality lessons, each with lesson plans, presentations, and most with worksheets. 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.

Exceptionally good resources and well worth the money. These tasks are really interesting without being throwaway or cheesy. I’ve been using - occasionally adapting - to prepare for A level and they’ve saved me serious amounts of time (and stress). Thank you!
