These analysis mind maps sumarise each topic by page for the whole unit of Religion and Ethics (AS and A2 years). Each map is downloaded as both a Word document and a PDF, for compatibility. The maps specifically follow the requirements of the OCR A Level Religious Studies Spec, but due to similarities across specifications they are relevant for other exam boards. They can also be edited easily for other specifications. They explore appropriate AO1 (knowledge and understanding) followed by AO2 (analysis and evaluation) of that specific point. I encourage my own students to add another layer to the map, evaluating the analysis, to develop their AO2. This could continue on indefinitely or end each ‘arm’ with a personal judgement. I also like to cut up the maps and ask the student to re-construct them. This aids in their revision skills and supports their logical structuring of arguments.

This interactive PowerPoint aims to revise ‘random’ content through 28 different exam-style questions. My students sometimes miss the focus or don’t understand exactly what the question is asking for.

I also ask them to make a judgement (AO2) on the essay title so as to practise both skills required for the essays. Created for the OCR specification, but can be adapted for other exam boards easily, due to the assessment objectives being the same.
