OCR A Level Religious Studies | Philosophy of Religion H573/01 | Complete Teaching & Revision Pack
A comprehensive, ready-to-teach resource pack covering all nine topics in the OCR A Level Religious Studies Philosophy of Religion component (H573/01). Designed for classroom use and independent study, this pack provides everything needed to deliver, consolidate, and assess the full component - from first teaching through to examination preparation.
Each slide deck works equally well as a standard lesson or a revision session, covering the content students need for the exam before moving into activities designed to consolidate and apply their learning. The aim throughout is to make lessons accessible, purposeful, and engaging - giving students the best possible chance of achieving the grades they are capable of.
Each of the nine topics includes:
A 60-minute lesson slide deck (PowerPoint), structured around a Hook → Build → Challenge → Apply arc, with AO1 knowledge and AO2 analytical skills explicitly mapped throughout
A homework sheet (Word) covering key term definitions and a strengths/weaknesses evaluation task
A homework answer sheet (Word)
A comprehensive one-page revision sheet (PDF) summarising key thinkers and concepts, core content, AO2 debates with arguments for and against, and exam practice questions
Also included as bonus items:
An essay planning template aligned to OCR mark scheme requirements
An OCR grading criteria summary sheet
