This is a set of GCSE revision resources created for Edexcel specification B paper 2 (religion peace and conflict) but could easily be adapted for other papers/exam boards. It covers the following units: 1: Christian Beliefs 2: Crime and Punishment 3: Living the Christian Life 4: Peace and Conflict For each topic within each unit there is a link to a revision video on Youtube (not my videos), a mindmapping task (reference is made to the purple Edexcel textbook by Gordon Reid and Sarah K Tyler but this is optional) and a flash card task based around sample questions (including suggested answers). There is also a link to a Kahoot quiz (created by me) at the end of each half unit for students to review their knowledge. Where applicable the BBC Bitesize revision notes are also linked. This has been designed as a revision activity for me to use with my students in class in the run up to exams but is also a great independent learning task especially for absent students or those with gaps in their learning. The resource includes 8 PowerPoints (each topic is split into 2 x 2 hour sessions as this fits our lesson style at school but could easily be further divided into 16 x 1 hour sessions).
