AQA syllabus Religious Studies for Philosophy and Ethics. An A-level lesson introducing the concept of philosophy with a particular focus on exploring meta-ethics. There is an outline of the major branches of philosophy introduced through video clips from popular Hollywood films to allow students to connect with the quite abstract nature of philosophical inquiry; meta-physics, epistemology, meta-ethics, philosophy of religion, philosophy of mind, philosophy of language and ethics. If watching all clips and allowing for discussion of student understanding, this can last a full 60 minute lesson, This is followed by a peer-teach style lesson on meta-ethics, where peer-teachers are chosen from among the students (I usually choose high ability) and the rest of the class carousel between them to gather information. This is followed by a reflection using De Bono's Hats. The meta-ethics element of the lesson can also be stretched to last 60 minutes, making this cover 2 sessions. This lesson always divides the class into those inspired and those who feel their brain has been squashed - I love teaching it.
Based around the question 'What is Philosophy and Ethics?', this display looks at RE/ Philosophy & Ethics from different viewpoints: politics, maths, history, writing, science etc to show why RE/ Philosophy & Ethics is important today!

Full set of A* grade notes for Virtue Ethics for AQA Philosophy 7172
‘The good’ for human beings: the meaning of Eudaimonia as the ‘final end’ and the relationship between Eudaimonia and pleasure.
The function argument and the relationship between virtues and function.
Aristotle’s account of virtues and vices: virtues as character traits/dispositions; the role of education/habituation in the development of a moral character; the skill analogy; the importance of feelings; the doctrine of the mean and its application to particular virtues.
Moral responsibility: voluntary, involuntary and non-voluntary actions.
The relationship between virtues, actions and reasons and the role of practical reasoning/practical wisdom.
Issues including:
whether Aristotelian virtue ethics can give sufficiently clear guidance about how to act
clashing/competing virtues
the possibility of circularity involved in defining virtuous acts and virtuous persons in terms of each other
whether a trait must contribute to Eudaimonia in order to be a virtue; the relationship between the good for the individual and moral good.
I have compiled over 30 10, 15 and 25 mark exam questions for the new spec A Level exam in RS Philosophy and ethics. Spreadsheet can be given to students so they can keep track of which questions they have attempted and the marks awarded. Note that the optional religion included here is Christianity (questions for the other religion options have not been included).
This Bundle includes two different lessons sequences, one on Logic and one on Ethic, and easily includes enough content to take up a term of lessons at one hour a week.
Once the students have completed the sequences, they should have a sophisticated understanding of the different ethical theories included, and a strong working knowledge of logical argument.
The lessons were designed for a very gifted KS3 set however, I’ve also used them for KS4 RE Core lessons.
This handbook of 146 pages covers the full 12 units of the OCR philosophy and applied ethics course. It includes Test yourself questions, past paper questions, key quotes, and a glossary.
