Augustine on Grace: Essay Improvement Workshop | OCR A Level RS H573/03 | Includes PowerPoint

Year 12 DCT Essay Improvement Bundle: 6 Workshops with PowerPoints OCR A Level RS H573/03

Six complete 60 minute essay workshops covering every Year 12 Developments in Christian Thought topic. Each is built on a real OCR exam question, with a student booklet, a teacher guide and a PowerPoint. Most students lose AO2 marks for the same reason: they describe the material, or list objections, without deciding whether those objections actually work. This bundle tackles that problem topic by topic, across the whole of Year 12 Developments in Christian Thought. Every workshop follows the same method, using four colour-coded moves: Clarify, Test, Develop, Judge. Students get faster and more confident with each one. By the sixth, the method has become a habit they bring to every essay. The six workshops and their exam questions: Augustine on human nature: "Assess Augustine's claim that only God's grace can overcome human sin." (June 2023) Death and the afterlife: "Discuss the view that the idea of purgatory makes more sense than hell." (June 2019) Knowledge of God's existence: "'Humans have an innate knowledge of God.' Discuss." (June 2019) The person of Jesus Christ: "To what extent was Jesus merely a political liberator?" (June 2018) Christian moral principles: "Assess the claim that love (agape) is sufficient as the only source of Christian ethics." (June 2024) Christian moral action, Bonhoeffer: "'Bonhoeffer's theology is still relevant today.' Discuss." (June 2018) In every workshop: A 7 page student booklet: knowledge check, question unpacking, diagnosing a weak paragraph, a colour-coded worked example, a guided rewrite, independent writing and an essay planning page A 5 page teacher guide with answers, timings, support and stretch, and subject notes for discussion A 20 slide PowerPoint with a Do Now, answer reveals and speaker notes on every slide, on a buff background for readability Optional mini whiteboard and visualiser activities.
