This resource helps students to consider the concept of moral dilemmas. There are tasks in which students are asked to consider how they would approach various dilemmas, Phillipa Foot’s ‘Trolley Dilemma’ is discussed in relation to absolutist vs situationist approaches and ideas around judging morality based on consequences or intentions are discussed. There is also a basic consideration of how religious groups may approach these ideas.
Overall, the (fully editable) PowerPoint is 32 slides in length and likely to take 2-3 lessons to complete. It was originally created to cover two 1-hour lessons, but always seems to take longer if you let the debates run!
A NOTE ABOUT MY POWERPOINTS:
All slides have information for delivery provided in the ‘Notes’ section.
Gold boxes contain information that can be read to the class; it’s also a good opportunity to select a student to read for literacy.
Blue ‘TASK’ boxes are always tasks to be completed (these may link to an extra resource that has been provided, such as a worksheet). There will also be a ‘sound level icon’ suggested for these (there is also a slide at the end full of sound levels icons that you can use to edit). Some tasks also have key careers/employability skills indicated.
Orange ‘CONSIDER’ boxes are questions that can be discussed as a class or in groups.
Green ‘EXTENSION’ boxes are extra work/challenge for those who complete the main blue box tasks or are otherwise ready for something more difficult.
Red boxes generally have some information hidden behind them and will reveal as you click through the PowerPoint.

This resources includes lesson powerpoints for the whole unit, an accompanying student booklet which follows the powerpoint exactly, as well as a summary / revision map, revision crossword and information sheet on Prescriptivism. It is all ready to teach and supports independent, student-led learning.
This covers all the points on the OCR specification with a focus on naturalism, intuitionism and emotivism.

The resources also goes further including Hare’s proposal of prescriptivism. It encourages students to evaluate whether or not what is meant by the word ‘good’ is the defining question in the study of ethics; whether or not ethical terms such as good, bad, right and wrong have an objective factual basis that makes them true or false in describing something or reflect only what is in the mind of the person using such terms; whether ethical terms can be said to be meaningful or meaningless; and whether or not, from a common sense approach, people just know within themselves what is good, bad, right and wrong.

FOR WJEC/EDUQAS A LEVEL RELIGIOUS STUDIES
AS ETHICS
14 Sheet Resource
Here are a set of revision sheets that can be used for WJEC/EDUQAS AS Level Religious Studies ETHICS Component.
The sheets are best printed in A3 in either colour or black and white.
Students fill them in themselves at the end of each topic or as final revision before the exam. These have proved popular with my students as a way of having a summary of the main points/concepts for each part of the specification as a reference point. These sheets have also been used by my students to complement other revision sources and strategies.
The sheets don’t cover every eventuality (in particular a lot of the A02 material) but provide a good source to refer back to throughout the course as prompts or as revision material for assessments or the final exam.
These can provide a good opportunity for retrieval practice which helps support students’ short-term and long-term memory.
Templates can easily be adapted to suit your individual needs and could perhaps be adapted for other exam boards too.
These may also be useful to support students with blended learning or full online learning as well as part of normal classroom practice, homework or personal private study. Could also be useful for staff cover or absence.
This resource has been made with material from the internet. Every effort has been made to credit material.
This PowerPoint has notes to help students revise sexual ethics and the main theories that surround the issue. Links are made to Kant, Augustine and Aquinas so that students have an overview of key thinkers. Students should be encouraged to take notes as PowerPoint is delivered to aid revision.
The value of fat in meat varies across cultures and, like all commodities, fat can be traded to markets where there is a demand for it. However, there is some debate about trading fat as a commodity and whether we should allow cheaper fatty meats to be sold for human consumption.
This article looks at the trade of 'belly flaps' from Australia and New Zealand to Pacific island nations such as Fiji.
This is part of 'Big Picture: Fat' (www.bigpictureeducation.com/fat), which was published by the Wellcome Trust in December 2015.
Hi all,
This is the end of topic test for this unit! This is a great way for the students to see where their gaps lie in their revision. This could also be a great scheme of work for teachers to know what areas they need to include in their teaching.
Leave a review, if you find this useful!
Best wishes,
