OCR GCSE Religious Studies 9-1. Religion, philosophy and ethics from a Christian perspective.

I apologise for not making the absence of the dialogues section clear. I used the phrase 'the vast majority' but appreciate that this doesn't make the omission as clear as it could/should have been. It is a revision guide with questions which I've written having been asked to provide such a resource by students and parents. I decided to do this because of the cost of the text book and my finding it not to suit our particular needs (we aren't, for example, studying Islam). The 'no frills' style is something I've found students and parents to want when it comes to reinforcement and revision. My teaching makes use of far more lively resources, activities etc., but I have found that a solid, to the point, resource like this provides much-needed support for the students themselves as they grapple with the material, covered in a variety of ways, seeking a secure understanding. It can provide a very good foundation upon which to set evaluative activities. The dialogue section is missing because the way I have taught it (and I believe the theme itself) doesn't really lend itself to the same learning note format. I deliver this as a research project, having first embedded an understanding of the differences between a religious and a secular and humanistic approach to matters of morality. Much of the material for the application of the dialogue is actually repeated. The new elements (like abortion and euthanasia) could be included, but I fear this may attach too much importance to them over and above the other repeated themes and the main focus, which I understand to be the religious and secular approaches viewed as dialogue. Again, I apologise and I will amend the description to make this clear. Many thanks for your comments.
