Starters and Plenaries for A Level OCR Religious Studies
Dive into the key issues and debates of the 2016 specification with a huge variety of creative activities.
Starters grab attention; plenaries challenge students, while both promote discussion, explanation, application and critical thinking skills so students can learn to deeply analyse the information they have been taught.
- Pick-up-and-teach activities – no additional preparation needed
- Engaging and visual – tasks for every topic appeal to and motivate students with different learning styles, while extension tasks stretch more-able students!
- Versatile – students can tackle activities individually or in pairs/groups
- All answers provided – great for AfL and speedy peer- or self-assessment
Plus! Includes detailed teacher’s notes for ease of use and to maximise learning.

I was impressed, particularly in terms of the comprehensive nature… It followed the specification very closely… a nice variety of activities… Accessible to students… {Has] easy-to-use activities to help active learning and stimulate interest and discussion in groups… will aid understanding and stimulate assessment and evaluation… It flags up connections [to the specification] really well… clearly detailed in the aims of each activity… the activities should capture students' attention and interest
I liked that they introduced a topic to help students understand the ethical theory. Some activities would also reinforce what students had learnt. The teacher’s notes were helpful and gave good examples of what to expect from students or how to push them... I would purchase a departmental copy
