Thanks to all of those who have left reviews below and helped this to become the âgo-toâ resource for teaching Buddhism at GCSE level.
This bundle contains 20 high-quality lessons, each with lesson plans, presentations, and most with worksheets.
It is suitable for all GCSE specifications: especially AQA and OCR.
It covers all necessary material for the âBeliefs, Teachings & Practicesâ section (Section A) of the course in relation to BUDDHISM.
It is the product of many weeks work: I have aimed to make these resources such that every lesson would receive a good or outstanding rating if inspected.
All lesson downloads include:
-A detailed lesson plan: explaining objectives, differentiation, cross-curricular aims, AfL tasks, and an activity timeline.
-A presentation file designed to the highest professional standard.
-Integrated and varied AfL
-A suggested homework task
The course features 15 worksheets, a âBuddhist board-gameâ template, various âknowledge huntâ activities and also features an IT Suite Lesson. It is designed to be a complete course for the first year of GCSE Religious Studies teaching.
Downloading this bundle will certainly save you many many hours of preparation time: as a practising Buddhist I hope it will allow Religious Studies Teachers to teach the Buddhist component of their chosen GCSE specification.
Positive reviews are warmly welcomed: I have made this course with pride and hope you will find it comprehensive and useful.
âMay you be happy, may you be healthy, may you be peaceful.â

This booklet is designed for years 7-9, once printed (preferably colour, double-sided) and given to a student - the teacher does not need to set homework tasks for the rest of the year, they are all contained within this booklet.
It contains 60 pages and over 50 tasks, a yearâs worth of homework.
The tasks are differentiated, the format allows students to select the tasks that interest them each week/fortnight - the booklet instructs students to get their homework tasks signed by parents and the teacher.
As a teacher, your only task is to check that students are completing the tasks.
This one resource will save teachers of Philosophy and Religion countless hours of work, planning, and assessment.

The first side is a checklist with two ways for the student to rate confidence for each of the sub-topics and the second side features other useful measures that allow teachers to gauge a studentâs confidence and reflective abilities.
The worksheets:
-Allows the student to see clearly what they need to know for the exam.
-Allows the student to communicate to their teacher how they can be best helped.
-Gets the student to analyse their progress in relation to their target grade.
-Encourages students to reflect in a structured manner on their necessary revision focusses.

A3 DIRT Worksheet (15+ 5-star ratings!)
KS3 RE Units
This flexible interactive philosophy lesson focuses on epistemology: the field of philosophy concerned with the nature of knowledge, different potential sources of knowledge, the difference between knowledge and opinion, and the different ways in which beliefs can be evaluated.
The download includes a free bonus resource: a comprehensive teaching pack focused on logical fallacies and critical thinking.
This session is ideal for teachers who want to explore philosophy with students and, aside from referring to more conventional epistemological issues, it also explores to the importance of critical-thinking and how students can detect misinformation online and discern between reliable and unreliable sources of information; weâve carefully selected the most significant epistemological issues and questions so that young learners can engage in fun philosophical discussions and debates. This session explores topics such as:
The nature of knowledge
The difference between knowledge and belief
Different ways of evaluating knowledge claims
Intellectual virtues
Obstacles that arise in the pursuit of truth
This philosophy teaching resource also outlines and explains different epistemological views (such as empiricism, rationalism, fideism and scepticism).
The big question asked in this session is âIs it possible to know anything with absolute certainty?â. Using a variety of engaging activities students will discuss and debate a wide range of other philosophical questions such as:
To what extent can we rely on the senses as a source of knowledge?
How do we evaluate the validity of different beliefs? and
What drives the spread misinformation and how can we detect it?
Â
Students will also analyse and evaluate an eclectic mix of philosophical claims such as:
âIt is impossible to know anything with 100% certainty"
âWe should always be sceptical about what others claim to be trueâ and
âOne should never believe in something until one has experienced it personallyâ
This session uses our unique format for philosophy teaching resources and features an integrated menu that allows teachers to select from a variety of starter, main, plenary, assessment and end-of-lesson reflection activities.
This resource is suitable for teachers of all school subjects who are looking to introduce philosophy, philosophical thinking and critical thinking. Â
Â

Uses:
-P4C (Philosophy for kids)
-Form time activities
-R.S./Philosophy/Citizenship cover lessons
-Debating societies
-Making best use of spare time at the end of lessons
Discussions follow one of four formats, each asking students to move from one side of the room or the other to make their position clear: teachers should then use questioning to foster a debate between students, encouraging them to present reasons for their choice and defend their position.
The formats are:
-âWhich is more moral?â (students chose between two options)
-âAgree or disagree?â (where students respond to a presented statement about morality of a moral issue)
-âWho do you save?â (where students need to save one of two people/options, and justify the morality of their decision)
-âMoral or immoral?â (where students cast their judgement on a given action, event or person.

It has been created for the latest AQA GCSE Religious Studies Specification and covers the thematic study âReligion, Peace & Conflictâ (Theme D) and focuses on Christian teachings. It should be useful to all GCSE Religious Studies teachers: even if using other specifications.
The download includes 10 Lessons, though some can be used over two 1-hour periods:
Introduction
Central Debates
The Causes of War
Christianity, Pacifism & Peaceful Protest
Christian Teachings About War & Peace
Nuclear Weapons & Weapons of Mass Destruction
ICT Suite Lesson
Religious Responses to War
Assessment Lesson
Unit Overview (Video-Learning Worksheet Lesson)
The bundle also includes:
-A Personal Learning Checklist (PLC) for this unit
-A collection of older files, relevant to this topic, from my teacher career
-A DIRT/AfL Worksheet
-The Christian Ethical Debate Generator
-One of our new âFun Philosophy Lessonsâ (relevant to this topic)
For most RE teachers this download includes everything you need to teach this thematic study, not including the comparative religion aspect of the thematic study.
Lessons about comparative religious traditions will be released at a later date as âbolt-onsâ to this 10-lesson unit.
My ambition was to make the best available thematic studies resources on Tes, so I hope you like it!
If you are pleased with this bundle, please leave a review so that other RE teachers know that it is worth getting :)

Thank you for your download!
Positive reviews are greatly appreciated.
This download is a demo version so that you can try the method and see how effective it is with your classes.
The full version which can be found here: /teaching-resource/-p4c-the-moral-dilemma-generator-200-slide-ppt-with-randomiser-philosophy-for-kids-11381522 for only ÂŁ4.99
The full resource is a 200 slide PPT, containing 198 moral/ethical debates, discussions, and dilemmas.
It also contains a ârandomiserâ slide: when clicked a random moral problem is presented to the group.
Uses:
-P4C (Philosophy for kids)
-Form time activities
-R.S./Philosophy/Citizenship cover lessons
-Debating societies
-Making best use of spare time at the end of lessons
Discussions follow one of four formats, each asking students to move from one side of the room or the other to make their position clear: teachers should then use questioning to foster a debate between students, encouraging them to present reasons for their choice and defend their position.
The formats are:
-âWhich is more moral?â (students chose between two options)
-âAgree or disagree?â (where students respond to a presented statement about morality of a moral issue)
-âWho do you save?â (where students need to save one of two people/options, and justify the morality of their decision)
-âMoral or immoral?â (where students cast their judgement on a given action, event or person.
This resource is great value at ÂŁ4.99 and cannot be found elsewhere:
-It clearly contributes to the Moral aspect of your schoolâs SMSC provision
-It allows for countless hours of discussion and debate to be structured in a focussed and engaging manner.
-It would take days to reproduce yourself.
-It can save vast amounts of staff time in preparing cover lessons
-It is the perfect way to make the most of any time a teacher might have left at the end of a lesson.
-It deals with cross curricular issues
Please note: this resource deals with controversial issues, debates and questions that may be deemed unsuitable for younger children. It is designed for secondary school students, but can be easily adapted to younger years with appropriate amendments by their teacher.
