This revision lesson aims to prepare students for an upcoming assessment or exam for the ‘Religion’ element of their GCSE in time-saving and engaging methods. This lesson explores Christianity and Islam. It is created with the AQA GCSE in mind, though is adaptable across specifications. The only difference would be the way in which some of the key words are spelled in Islam, e.g. ‘Mecca/Makkah’ however this is not considered when awarding SPAG anyway. In addition, the original editable documents are included, so you can tailor the language/spellings for your class/qualification. The PowerPoint includes: Aims of the lesson Topics in Christianity, identifying which ones will be covered in the lesson (NB only the more difficult topics are explored in this lesson) Topics in Islam, identifying the ones covered in the lesson (NB only the more difficult topics are explored in this lesson) Topics covered: Jesus Salvation and Grace Worship Worldwide Church Six Articles/Five Roots Predestination and Free Will Five Pillars and Ten Obligatory Acts Festivals The activities are a collection of time-saving revision activities that minimalise writing, making the lesson suitable for all learners. Answers are also embedded into the PowerPoint via attractive and engaging animations. The corresponding learning mat is two-sided (one side for Islam, another for Christianity) and correspond with the work on the PowerPoint. All resources are available in their original Microsoft Word format, though can be downloaded as PDFs too, for compatibility purposes. Please give feedback!
