This is a last minute revision lesson designed for students taking A-Level Religious Studies on the Eduqas exam board. This is for Paper 1: A Study of Religion and the Christianity option.

This lesson is designed to be taught as one of the last revision lessons prior to the exam.

Starter

Key words wordsearch
Students are given a list of definitions and from these they have to find the key words
These will need printing out

Activity 1

The first activity is an overview of the paper and top tips to do well

This starts with recommended timings and an overview of the type of questions
There are then some top tips for success

Activity 2

There is then one PowerPoint slide for each topic. Each slide provides a brief summary of the topic including key words, Bible verses, scholars and quotes.

These slides can be printed (a printer friendly version with white backgrounds is included) and given to students to help aid revision.

You can also go through each one or targeted ones with the class as a last minute summary of particular topics

Activity 3

This is a list of generic evaluation points that can be used if students are struggling to come up with points for 30 mark questions.

This is designed to help support weaker students or to deal with brain freezes in the exam.

Activity 4

Blurt sheets

Students can choose a sheet based on which topic they would like to revise.
They then write down everything they can remember about that topic in one colour pen
They then swap sheets with the person next to them and write down additionally information in a second colour
They can then use their notes to complete the sheets in a third colour

Plenary

The plenary is a cryptogram of a key quote by Augustine on sacraments

Included is the PowerPoint, a printer friendly version and all relevant worksheets including blurt sheets.

I also recommend giving students some past papers to look at.
