A great unit of work that looks at religion and chocolate. It firstly starts with how chocolate was used in rituals during Mayan and Aztec ceremonies, followed by the Cadbury brothers who started chocolate shops due to their Quaker beliefs. Finishing with Fairtrade. Lessons are bundled together and sold for a low price as elements of the lessons refer to “levels” language for their differentiation- would take a matter of minutes to tweak. A really fun unit in the run up to Christmas or Easter, or for primary school students who may be studying Chocolate/Fairtrade as a topic area.

A new unit of work using the PSHE association mapping structure for the new 2020 Relationship, Sex and Health Education area. This unit is aimed at Year 7. But suitable for any KS3 group.

This is a mini research unit that will be taught ahead of the units (after the introduction unit). It should take approximately 11 lessons to go through the basic research methods. I am aware this is no longer necessary to be taught as an explicit unit, however we feel they need the basic knowledge to be able to answer the questions in the different units. Lesson 2 looks at what a pilot study is and encourages students to pilot a questionnaire. There is a gap filler task for the sampling techniques and 3 exam questions with model answers.

We have decided to interleave our GCSE curriculum. This is the first unit which we are calling The Nature of God. It interleaves content from Christian Beliefs, Christian Practices, Theme A Relationships & Families and Theme B Religion and Life. This unit will be taught 3 times a fortnight and will provide the first term (Year 9) of a 3 year interleaved GCSE. Aimed at AQA but may be suitable for other exam boards. Lessons have 2 different tasks, progress (most students), progress+ (top 10% of class as a challenge). Lesson 1 & 2: The Nature of God- Christian Beliefs Focus. L1- Introduction to the GCSE- lesson content is slightly less as setting expectations, sorting seating plans etc will be a priority. Lesson looks at all words to describe God’s nature. Priority is then placed on looking at Omnibenevolence and Omnipotence. Students consider scripture and how it shows God’s power and love. L2- Looking at God being Just. Evaluation and Analysis of The Parable of the Sheep & Goats. If you purchase please leave a review.

Suitable as an introductory lesson, or a revision lesson before the exams. A cheap lesson as there wasn’t a great deal of teacher input. Students complete their quiz, do keyword bingo and then answer a series of exam questions. I like students to take a question at a time, mark a peers answer and then I live write in the powerpoint as the class create the perfect answer-including literacy! I then print the slides after the lesson and they stick these into their books.
