In this engaging and comprehensive lesson, students are introduced to the first pillar of Islam - the Shahada.
Children learn through collating their collective prior knowledge, watching an interesting video (hyperlinked) and answering comprehension questions about the Shahada. They then link this knowledge to their own personal spirituality, considering the important ‘pillars’ and intentions that are important to them and their communities.
The lesson is tried and tested, and is easy for teachers and students to follow. It contains a comprehensive 16-slide Powerpoint which offers a step-by-step guide throughout the lesson, in addition to the worksheet template for the creative ‘pillars of my community’ activity (in both Word and PDF). Challenge activities are provided in order to enrich learning for higher-attaining learners.
In the past, I have used this lesson with children in upper Key Stage 2 (years 5 and 6). The key learning is aligned with national expectations for RE, and also the content prescribed by most diocese regions. All images are licensed for commercial use, and are cited on the final slide.
