It is a complete unit of work inclusive of powerpoints and student booklets to accompany each powerpoint - this greatly encourages student-led learning.

The resource covers six main normative theories, including explanations and evaluation of each one. It includes the points on the specification of moral principles, virtue / character based theories and deontological versus teleological theories, explored through the following theories: Aquinas’ Natural Law Divine Command Theory Utilitarianism Virtue Ethics Kantian Ethics Social Contract Theory If you like this resource, please leave a review.

A collection of slides that cover the content of the AQA Buddhism OUP Book. Some slides have been shared, borrowed, but most our my own based on the textbook.

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.

Some of you may have my original Philosopher Timeline in your classrooms. Thank you for your support and I hope it’s been useful throughout that time. Ten years later I’m unveiling a brand new timeline display. After taking the time to reflect on the previous timeline, I’ve made some modifications in order to: Support cognitive load and reduce distraction by removing description text. Foster student interest through eye-catching, coherent and clear pictures. Improve representation across the board (fewer dead white men as a proportion). Refine and broaden the thinkers referenced in line with current RS/Philosophy qualifications. Thinkers now pop with a new art-style that is consistent, clear and memorable. Names and dates take centre-stage and unnecessary clutter is gone. The timeline is intrinsic to my practice and it’s referred to multiple times a lesson, from Y7 to Y13. Students repeatedly report how useful it is to be able to visually grasp the chronology and how this lowers cognitive load. There are now over 100 thinkers available each with an optional quote bubble. I’m also more than happy to create additions as you request them, if your particular course requires someone who is missing. I’ve taught both the OCR Religious Studies and, more recently, the AQA Philosophy A-Level course and I’ve combined both sets of thinkers here along with others who might be useful at GCSE and KS3. I recommend they are printed at A4 on ‘actual size’ print setting. I’ve laminated mine and then cut to the edge with a guillotine.
