A fully-resourced, ten-lesson scheme of learning around the question - does evil disprove God? Includes lessons on: The Nature of God Arguments for the existence of God What is “evil”? JL Mackie’s “Inconsistent triad” Theistic responses to evil and suffering Pack includes a revision lesson, revision resources, an assessment booklet, and a creative topic summary where students are guided along writing their own parables about how we should approach the issue of suffering.

This is a long task (est. 40-60 mins) where students are guided through describing a scene from their imaginations. This includes describing and positioning a field, a box, a horse, flowers, the weather and a storm. When written in their books, each item will be analyzed in turn. This is designed to demonstrate how differently we all see the world. Also, students will be encouraged to reflect on if their perception of themselves, their lives or their future could be better. Are they too pessimistic? too confident? too cautious? etc. An excellent introduction to studying worldviews and philosophy.

A role-playing decision making game designed for a whole class of students (or even an assembly hall full of them). Set in a post-apocalypic world with zombies, students must make decisions to survive and reflect on the reasons behind their choices. Scenarios are meant to highlight the students’ prejudices/assumptions about life and about people. It can also be used as a sequence of ethical scenarios. Students can play the game as a Christian/Buddhist/Muslim/Utilitarian/Kantian, etc, and practice applying moral systems to “real” life.

A full scheme of work introducing students to radicalisation and how it can be avoided through applying critical thought. Through teaching students how to spot logical fallicies in politics, religion and social, they can be better equipped to avoid adopting extreme worldviews. Unit includes five lessons, a work booklet and an end of unit assessment. This could be used for PSHE lessons or RPE lessons, aimed at students between 14 and 18. This ties in strongly to teaching British values of independent thought and inclusiveness. It also links strongly with the goals of PREVENT.
