Suitable for teaching KS3 - ideally Y9 due to the content of the lesson; "Does genocide exist today?" Students will look at examples of genocide in the 20th century; Holodomor, Ukraine Cambodia Bosnia and Herzegovina Rwanda Armenia Using information sheets (provided) students will complete a table (differentiated) on the different genocides. Students will then be asked to reflect on what they have learnt; Who is responsible for genocide? Are other people responsible if they do not try to stop the genocide? Why do people treat other human beings in ways like these? What would you do if you were in a situation where a group was being targeted? What can we do to stop genocide from happening in the future? This can open up some fantastic and thoughtful discussions. I use this lesson after teaching the Holocaust, as often I find other genocides tend to be forgotten about in the curriculum. All resources needed are included - please consider teaching this important lesson! Feedback is welcome.

This is a challenging set of 21 research questions for a 20th Century American History class studying the decade 1950-1959. It has a strong focus on events during the Cold War and the American Civil Rights Movement. The questions are organized chronologically. Here is what is GREAT about this assignment: it's fully customizable! For instance, you might use only 10 of these questions instead of the 21 in the packet. You might choose 5 of the questions and ask students to conduct in-depth research for a full-length report. The possibilities are endless! I decided to make a research assignment that required strong critical thinking skills and better research skills and - above all - taught an appreciation for 20th Century American history.

looked on internet tonight to find the address of my friend Professor John Hick, to send him an invitation to A Moment's Peace although I know he may not be able to travel that far. When I saw him last - about a year ago, his back was bad and restricting his travelling. Instead of finding the address I found this obituary. It will be useful, interesting and inspiring to look at with G and T KS4 and with KS5 pupils. I also include an outline of a conversation we had with him when I took our A'level students to ask him about Death and the Afterlife in Christianity.

A set of knowledge organisers for A-Level Religious Studies focusing on the philosophy strand. They have been designed for the OCR specification but are likely appropriate for other exam boards too. The knowledge organisers cover the whole OCR philosophy specification: Plato and Aristotle Soul, Mind and Body Arguments from Observation - Teleological and Cosmological Arguments from Reason - Ontological Problem of Evil Religious Experience God’s Nature Religious Language 1 - Negative, Analogy and Symbol Religious Language 2 - 20th Century Perspectives They cover the AO1 content needed, such as Aquinas’ fifth way and Paley’s watch; Anselm’s ontological argument and Gaunilo’s criticisms; the theory of the forms; the debate between God being eternal or everlasting; the various ideas in the Falsification Symposium; Augustine’s theodicy vs. the soul-mkaing theodicy, and much more! They each cover every part on the content section of the specification in a good level of detail. A great revision tool for students about to approach exams or to consolidate knowledge of a unit. These would make brilliant posters and also work very well on a phone screen to share with students! If you like these, please leave a review and happy teaching!

These are very condensed and concise revision notes, useful to easily remember and quick to learn, with the information to write an A* essay on any question on the given topic. These notes were invaluable to my revision and attaining an A/A* in Religious Studies. The knowledge in these revision notes are sufficiently detailed and have are able to fill the scope/demand of any essay question within the topic. These notes contain detailed information of all aspects of verification (Ayer and Vienna Circle with opposing critics and alterative views), falsification (all contributors to Symposium) and Wittgenstein with a non-cognitive analysis (Don Cupitt) and Cognitive analysis (D.Z Phillips).
