This is a revision session on Preference Utilitarianism from the AQA A Level Philosophy Specification. It be used as either a standard lesson or extra-curricular revision session. The lesson covers the content that students need to know for the exams and then has activities designed to consolidate learning. Exercises include Tweet the Definition (where students examine key terms); Newsround (a mind map activity); The Weakest Link (a quiz); Thought for the Day (a blogpost writing activity); and the Big Questions (a debating exercise). There is also a homework assignment which you can use to assess learners’ progress. This resource should make learning interactive, productive, and enjoyable, giving your students the chance to get the grades they deserve.

Included are a complete set of notes detailing the key concepts and criticisms within the Philosophy of Religion module of the current specification for AQA A-Level Philosophy. I passed A-Level Philosophy with an A* and these notes helped me do it, so I have published them to help the next generation of A-Level Philosophy Students! If there are any omissions please do let me know and I will send an updated copy free of charge.

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. The base pack includes: A J Ayer Alasdair MacIntyre Alister McGrath Alvin Plantinga Angela Davis Anselm Anthony Flew Aristotle Augustine Ayn Rand Basil Mitchell Bernard Williams Bertrand Russell Boethius C L Stevenson Carl Jung Charles Darwin Copernicus Daniel Dennett Daphne Hampson David Chalmers David Hume Dietrich Bonhoeffer Edmund Gettier Elizabeth Anscombe Emil Brunner Ernest Sosa Frank Jackson Fredrick Copleston Friedrich Nietzsche G E Moore Gandhi George Berkeley Germaine Greer Gilbert Ryle Gottfried Leibniz Greta Thunberg Guru Nanak Gustavo Gutierrez Hannah Arendt Harriet Mill Henry Sidgwick Heraclitus Immanuel Kant Irenaeus Iris Murdoch Jean-Paul Sartre Jesus Jeremy Bentham Jo Marchant John Calvin John Hick John Locke John Mackie John Stuart Mill Joseph Fletcher Julia Annas Julia Galef Karl Barth Karl Marx Karl Popper Karl Rahner Kieth Ward Lewis Carroll Linda Zagzebski Ludwig Wittgenstein Martha Nussbaum Martin Luther Martin Luther King Jr Mary Daly Mary Warnock Noam Chomsky Norman Malcolm Paul Pelagius Peter Geach Peter Singer Philippa Foot Plato Rene Descartes Richard Dawkins Richard Hare Richard Swinburne Robert Nozick Rosalind Hursthouse Rosemary Ruether Siddharta Gautama Sigmund Freud Simone De Beauvoir Soren Kierkegaard Steven Law Teresa of Avila Thomas Aquinas Thomas Hobbes Thomas Nagel Vandana Shiva W E B Du Bois William James William Paley

This is an excel file which contains a tab for each unit relevant for Paper 1 of the John Frye Hodder textbook. Each tab contains flashcard templates for each unit. The flashcards are arranged in order so that your students can use the flashcards as a revision resource - they work through the book, chapter by chapter, completing the back of the flashcards with notes. There are over 650 flashcard templates so enough to keep them going! It is arranged in tabs so that you can email the excel file to your repro dept and ask them to print a certain tab onto A4 card. The cells are set up so that you just need to quarter the sheets of A4 card. I give them to my 6th formers to do for homework, and they take them away, cut them up themselves and bring them back completed with notes. It is good for getting them reading independently and also to create a revision resource for exam time. There are 16 units in total for the Philosophy & Ethics paper so well worth starting revision as early as possible. The excel file will not be locked so you can add extra ones to it should you feel the 600-odd flashcards aren’t enough! It took me over an hour per unit to read the textbook chapter, consider what they need to know for the exam and make the flashcards. So that is 14 sets of flashcards taking over an hour each to produce! Truth be told, I would not have started making these had I realised precisely how much time would need to be invested in it! You can buy back days of your life by buying this, plus can be reused every year, so at £3 this represents a cost of 22pence per hour of your time saved.

This printable textbook provides a systematic explanation for every point mentioned in the specification. In the next section It then provides arguments for and against each point and, where appropriate, summarises arguments using premises and conclusions. The file is a .doc Word file, 140 pages in length, 72000 words. It is designed to be a comprehensive reader for AQA Philosophy students. This should be viewed as a printable information book: it does not include learning activities or images. It aims to provide the necessary information as effectively and comprehensively as possible. Note: it does not cover the Applied Ethics section which, if this resource succeeds, will be covered in a later volume.

This resource contains all lessons for ‘Epistemology’ under AQA’s A-Level Philosophy course.
