This bundle contains ten fully resourced and professionally designed KS4 Religious Studies lessons as well as additional teaching materials for GCSE Religious Studies: Thematic Studies.
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 :)

KS3 RE Units
Professionally designed for the new EDUQAS / WJEC Sociology GCSE specification (9-1) taught from September 2017. AQA equivalents are also available on TES. This bundle was updated in March 2020 so that all of the PowerPoints are in the standard format and, consequently, more easy to edit than before.
This 20 lesson unit is designed to be a self-contained, comprehensive and complete resource: everything a teacher/department need to teach the sociology of families section of the course.
Each lesson comes in a .Zip file, This file contains:
-A detailed lesson plan: highlighting differentiation, AfL, key-words, SMSC and a timeline of learning activities (.pdf)

A3 DIRT Worksheet (15+ 5-star ratings!)
KS3 RE Units
Professionally designed for the new AQA Sociology GCSE specification (8192) . It can now be purchased as a part of a complete 20 x lesson bundle.
This is lesson 3 of our 20 lesson course for the âSociology of Familyâ section.
This lesson discusses the functions and roles of the family according to Talcott Parsons.
The download features a .zip file which includes:
-A detailed lesson plan: highlighting differentiation, AfL, key-words, SMSC and a timeline of learning activities (.pdf)
-A premium quality PowerPoint presentation (fully animated) that covers the entire lesson
-A double-sided worksheet
-Homework
All lessons are designed around the new GCSE specification, certainly useful for any GCSE specification however. We take considerable time making the highest quality lessons, positive reviews are greatly appreciated.
This download contains an editable 50+ slide PowerPoint featuring debates for GCSE Religious Studies students. It also contains a ârandomiserâ slide so that debate topics can be selected randomly.
This tool focuses on Christian teachings and does not refer to a specific comparative religion (making it suitable for all GCSE RS teachers). I based the debate topics on commonalities between AQA, OCR and Eduqas specifications: it should be useful regardless of the specification you are using.
Debates take an âagree or disagreeâ format: students are asked to move from one side of the room to the other depending on their response to the statements that appear.
This format allows teachers to foster debates and discussions between students, it can be helpful to ask students to justify their reasons and use sensible arguments. Questions you might ask include:
âWhat is wrong with the other position in your view?â,
âWhy did you choose to stand where youâre standing?â,
âWhy do you think people disagree so much about this question?â
It is best to encourage students to pick a side rather than float in the middle: but it can also be fun to allow students to change side as the debate progresses, so that students can try to persuade one another to move.
This is a great resource to use at the end of lessons if you have a few minutes left, it can be used as an entire lesson or revision session. Itâs a fun way to introduce a course or to use as an ice-breaker with new classes, and can also be used by tutor groups as a whole-school initiative.

Designed for teachers using the new OCR Religious Studies AS/A2 specification (H173/H573)
This revision session covers both the âLiberation Theologyâ section of the specification.

It covers Marxist philosophy, Marxist critiques of religion, and how Liberation Theology responds to Marxist ideology.

-A 'competitive mind-mapping task (which can be completed on the whiteboard or on A3 paper)
-A silent debate task (with 6 x A3 silent debate worksheets in an editable .doc file) [nb. allowing group conversation, instead of silence, is also an effective approach]

-A concluding âOne thing I am still uncertain aboutâŚâ post-it question.
This session can be purchased individually or as part of various bundles depending on your needs.

The course is very much student-led; encouraging independent research skills and engagement with the issues.
It is designed to be used, ideally, after teaching of normative/meta-ethical theories has been completed so that students can apply their knowledge to the issues listed in the specification.
Presentation and resources have been designed to the highest level of professionalism. As always, I am taking requests for making new resources: just email me at godwin86@gmail.com and follow me to stay updated about further releases.
If you teach AQA Philosophy, you should join the Facebook group: âPhilosophy Teachers UK (AQA A-Level)â which is the largest philosophy teachers group in the UK, there you can benefit from free resource sharing, advice from other teachers, as well as hearing about the latest premium releases.
This bundle contains 6 revision sessions, designed to cover the âMediaâ section of the new AQA Sociology specification.

The topic of this Philosophy Boxes download is âMoral & Spiritual Developmentâ. It is one of a series of PSHE-P4C sessions designed for KS2-4 PSHE students. The download comprises a P4C lesson/session that can be used multiple times with the same group.
The Philosophy Boxes Method is a new approach to PSHE designed for students in KS2-4: it is graphically stimulating, engaging, and fun. This download is also suitable for older students: but the format was designed with younger students in mind. In this context: âPhilosophy Boxesâ represents a more student-centred âdebate & discussionâ approach to PSHE issues.
The aim of our âPhilosopy Boxesâ PSHE sessions is to bring deep, critical thinking to PSHE, exploring PSHE using P4C (Philosophy for Children) debates and discussions. One advantage to the method is that it helps students to practice their social skills through the activities.
The Philosophy Boxes Method presents students with a set of âmystery boxesâ, when a student selects one of the boxes they are presented with 1 of 21 discussion/debate activities (in 8 different formats).
The presentation has integrated AfL so that teachers can test knowledge at any point in the lesson. There are 10 different AfL slides to choose from.
The design is colourful, animated, fun and engaging: all activities require movement and teachers can decide whether students are expressing their ideas purely verbally or by using post-it notes.
The nature of the design is that it can be used for short sessions (5-10 minutes) or much longer sessions (up to 2 hours!) - it allows for classroom practitioners to be flexible and adaptable. It can, therefore, be used in lessons or as a tutor-time activity.
Choose from out complete selection of our âPhilosophy Boxesâ PSHE lessons here.
You can also save money by purchasing lessons as a complete 20-session collection here!
AQA Philosophy [2017 specification onwards) (AS/A2) assessment and feedback resources for:
AS: 5, 9 and 15 mark questions, and exam scoreboard
A2: 5, 12 and 25 mark questions, and exam scoreboard
The feedback worksheets are designed for peer, self or teacher assessment. They are designed so that multiple markers can assess the work (perfect for lessons after a large assessment)
They are mainly tick-box based (for the assessor) making them invaluable time-saving tools.
