Questionnaire focused on: Do you believe in life after death?

This lesson focuses on the different beliefs and examples of pacifism. It follows my other lesson on Violence and Peace and comes with a worksheet and task which should bring excellent learning. It also has a meditation exercise that can be used to the last task of the PPT. This is a really good task which the pupils engage with and always walk out with a smile!

This lesson is focused on the issue of peace and can be taught alongside my other lesson on violence. It includes a PPT which is an outline of the creative learning that should take place from the students.

This lesson is designed for a short look at the concept of violence and can be used alongside my other lesson on 'what makes people go wrong?'. This has been a helpful lesson over the years and stimulates creative ideas from pupils as it is aimed for this function.

This lesson was designed as a lesson to fit into an evil and suffering scheme of work, but I have also used it with peace and violence as well as a stand alone lesson and one for psychology or PSHE. Contained in this resource is a PPT to use alongside the TED talk by Philip Zimbardo (see below). Also, 2 worksheets that can be used for class or homework. I normally generate specific questions in relation to the clip, which helps pupils understand the point he is making (that good people turn to bad, not that they are bad to begin with). https://www.ted.com/talks/philip_zimbardo_on_the_psychology_of_evil

This lesson was designed as a one stop, task driven lesson. See below for a brief plan of the lesson. The resources include a PPT as well as Hindu and Muslim information sheet. The PPT should be worked through, but the main task is the pupils will be given a set of information and will have to work through the reading and highlight important points. They will note these down and teach them to others on the table. The teacher will then go over this at the end to assess learning.

This worksheet was created to accompany a YouTube clip called 'the boy who lived before'. This clip is found below and tells the story of a boy in Scotland who believes he can remember his past life. The pupils always compelled by this lesson and the worksheet enables excellent structure for the lesson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Wh0OsVtdeE

It also contains a focus on some polytheistic religions which existed at the time of the inception of Judaism.

This is a resource which includes a: - PPT (complete with learning objective) - Information worksheet - Homework This serves as a good first lesson for KS3 classes on Judaism and will feature before any further learning.

This is a PPT which includes a comprehensive inclusion of every part of the Natural Law Theory that would be needed to be taught up to A Level. It has been used with legacy and new examination specifications. The PPT includes 3 separate learning objectives which can be used in 2 or 3 different lessons if needed: 1. To explain Natural Moral Law as a theory of ethics 2. To analyse the usefulness of NML in the modern day context of ethical behaviour 3. To evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of Natural Moral Law This lesson has been graded outstanding.

This incredibly well used resource is a fantastic way for budding ethicists to understand the major factors underpinning ethical theory. The PPT tells the story of Abi and Joe (in an interactive manner!). Abi, driven by acts surrounding motive and not rule or consequence ends up falling into trouble and other characters act in seemingly contentious ways because of their focus of moral thinking. In the time I have been teaching this, teachers, parents and pupils have commented on it's clarity and usefulness. I hope you agree!

This is a PPT and corresponding card sort that seeks to help pupils understand the issues related to the UK as a multi ethnic society. This lesson was graded outstanding in a series of observations on the topic of Community cohesion.

Here are 2 PPTs for lessons on gender equality. One focuses on the general views of gender and stereotype and the other looks at the Christian views.

It is sometimes hard to assess the success of the hedonic calculus. For years my colleagues and I found it hard to get pupils to reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of the hedonic calculus. This resource aims to change this. Pupils are given the worksheet in order to see how simple, yet how time consuming and contradictory this theory is. It works a treat - especially for homework. Great for A02 focus.

This is a lesson on homosexuality that was designed for Y11, but can be used for A level. The provocative images on the front are meant to set the scene for the focus of the lesson: Should homosexuality be an ethical issue or not? I also discuss the media's role in this discussion with use of the images.
