I focus the majority of this unit on Christianity as there is enough diversity to fulfill the exam requirements. However, it does still include Islam when appropriate.
This lesson contains lots of information slides, ideal for home learning/revision. Easily adaptable into active learning strategies for your teaching style.
This is a game I've created for my year 11's. They've been struggling with keywords so this is a fun activity that can be played multiple times with them.
There are differing levels of rules so can allow for differentiation as well.
The cards have been created so that you can print them double sided and the tiles will match up (or print and photocopy 1sided - 2 sided and it should work)
I recommend laminating and printing each set of different colour paper. There are about 30 words in total.
The rules in short are,
Spread the cards out across your table with the keyword facing up
Each player takes it in turn to select a card and guess the definition of the word.
If the player guesses correctly with the reverse of the card they keep the card and add it to their pile.
If they are incorrect the leave the card to the table and put back 3 cards from their hand.
Winner is the person with the most cards at the end of the game.

This a PPT for the chapeter on the liberationist response to secularisation. Again it’s just a power point, nothing spectacular but follows the text book (which jumps around quite a bit). I’ve tried to streamline it as best I can.
Includes:
Quietist /activist apporaches
Secular ownership of religion
Liberationist approach
The focus of this unit is on Christianity and Islam as there is enough diversity to fulfill the exam requirements.

Here is the whole unit for Christianity practices, if you have seen my other lessons then you will know that my slides are loaded with information, key terms, key quotes and questions (mostly exam style). These are very adaptable slides to change for your style or class set.
These 10 lessons are:
Worship and Prayer
The Sacraments Baptism and Communion
Pilgrimage
Festivals
Role of the Church in the community
The place of mission and Evangelism
Growth of the worldwide Church
Reconciliation
Persecution
Church’s response to worldwide poverty
I’ve also included my question bank for this sub-unit and the key words booklet.
Here is a keywords booklet for Theme E. These are the actual words and definitions from AQA, organised into a format ready for a booklet.
This is also available as a bundle
This is a really big lesson for worship and prayer, you may find it easy to split in two. It covers the who the whats of these different styles. I’ve also now updated it to include lots of videos through, which the students really like. My year 10s like to write EVERYTHING down, its good training for A level and will help the revise, however you may want to just turn them into crib sheets if you want the to note take.
The activity is a sorting one but in the interests of time I recommend using highlighters, the hands are also included, it is a way of listing advantages and disadvantages - thinking along the lines of 12 mark question.
In the powerpoint I’ve included a video that has stuff to do with speaking in tongues (its a long video but you’d start from about 11 min in. Obviously, skip this if you’re not confident in explaining this belief and don’t want to open a can of worms, most people find it a bit freaky. If you do include it, I recommend talking them through the video and explaining that these people are having a ‘religious experience’ and it’s their emotions on display.
If the videos don’t load after a few moments, re launch the power point.

This unit explores Buddhism by first looking at the primary concepts.
This is the second lesson and it focuses on the three marks of existence. The mandala they have created as homework from the previous lesson are torn in half, used as a way of experiencing this concept of the first mark, anicca.
It is an engaging lesson, punctuated by GCSE style thinking and writing questions.
