Engaged Buddhism & Activism - A2 Buddhism Religious Studies - Revision Session ( OCR KS5 ) Nhat Han

Designed for teachers using the new OCR Religious Studies AS/A2 specification (H173/H573)

This revision session covers the ‘Engaged Buddhism & Activism’ section of the specification. The topic is a part of the ‘Buddhism’ (Developments in Buddhist Thought) component of the A2 course.

This download contains one of a series of revision sessions that use a variety of mind-mapping, discussion and debate tasks to cover a section of the specification.

The revision sessions can be used in a number of ways:
-As revision sessions during a revision period of term-time leading up to exams
-Sandwiched between lessons as they are taught throughout the year as a way of solidifying and assessing learning
-During extra-curricular time (KS5 Religious Studies Clubs)

This revision session features:
-A ‘grid of learning’ post-it task (to focus students on the day’s topic and refresh their memories of the basics)
-A 'competitive mind-mapping task (which can be completed on the whiteboard or on A3 paper)
-A silent debate task (with 6 x A3 silent debate worksheets in an editable .doc file) [nb. allowing group conversation, instead of silence, is also an effective approach]
-Debates that ask students to move from one side of the room or the other and verbalise a defence of their position in response to a statement or rubric.
-A concluding ‘One thing I am still uncertain about…’ post-it question.

This session can be purchased individually or as part of various bundles depending on your needs.
