Hi all,
Here is my scheme of work which is concerned with the role of ethics and our decision making. It follows a simplier verison of the A-level philosophies tackled in the OCR course. But made in a friendlier, more accessible way for year 9 students. This ends with an extended writing piece for an assessment which can be peer assessed.
This resource covers the Problem of Evil unit taught in the A-level RS AQA specification. I do have another resource covering OCR which may be more helpful if that is your exam board!
This covers the whole unit, including a PowerPoint and a work booklet which matches identically to reinforce student-led learning.
It covers key topics such as the logical problem of evil and the inconsistent triad, with theodicies offered by Augustine, Irenaeus and Hick, such as the soul-making theodicy. It also explores key questions, such as whether the logical or evidential aspects of the problem of evil are more challenging for belief and overall whether monotheism can be defended in the face of evil.
It is all ready to go - can just pick up and teach. If you do like this resource, please leave a rating and a review. Happy teaching!
This is a complete unit of work covering the miracles unit of A-Level Religious Studies AQA. It may also be useful for other exam boards.
The resource includes a complete lesson powerpoint covering the whole unit, a student booklet which works alongside the powerpoint to encourage independent learning and two example answers (one 10-mark and one 15-mark). The resources are easy to follow and complete with answers and explanations, for both teachers and students.
This covers the all the following specification points:
• Differing understandings of ‘miracle’
• realist and anti-realist views
• violation of natural law or natural event.
• Comparison of the key ideas of David Hume and Maurice Wiles on miracles.
• The significance of these views for religion.
It also includes the ideas of Tillich.
Everything is complete and ready to teach.
Please leave a review and happy teaching!
