Hinduism: Brahman and Atman
TeacherofThoughtTeacherofThought

Hinduism: Brahman and Atman

(0)
This is a lesson on Brahman and Atman. It focusses on the issue of manifestation and the link between the ultimate questions of Hinduism and the challenging concept of Brahman. There is also a extension challenge 'take it further' task attached as well as a lesson plan. This was used for an official observation and was deemed excellent. It is pitched for high ability year 7s but would suit year 8,9 or GCSE (with some tinkering) too. Resources that would go well with this is 'Play Doh' and water with salt (for the analogy). Enjoy!

(0)
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.

Utlilitarianism: application of Bentham's Hedonic Calculus

(0)
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.
