This is an organised and differentiated project designed as the culmination of the CRE SOW (also available) I advise you adapt it to your class, the year 9s were able to do all of these but year 7 may struggle so limit it to just two tasks/topics possibly. Students should present their research.

This lesson looks at the nature of the Qur’an what it is like and some of the beliefs about it. It also looks at the other Holy books that are referenced in the Qur’an. It’s a straightforward power point, following the AQA Spec and will hopefully save you some time!

Religion and poverty, asking the ethical question - should we aim to be rich?

Here is the first of a half terms worth of lessons, introducing RS. The emphasis is on the skills for the subject, the nature of investigations, asking questions. Included is the work sheet, they write 'ultimate questions' in the question mark. Looks good if they do them colourful! Please note this ppt requires the free web player plugin for power point, it is really easy to install, you literally just click on 'my apps' from the menu bar when you have power point open, look for the video player and click add. I was having trouble using you tube through the power point so I started using the web player app instead. The video, if the download doesn't work, is on you tube and it is simply the trailer to 'the story of God' documentary with Morgan Freeman. Thanks!

This is part of a unit introducing RE and the skills and process of doing it. There is a card sort for the skills in RS open ended differentiation. There is also an activity around building arguments, we didn't get to this in 45 minute lessons but it is there as an option. There is also the syllogism game I developed, this is great fun with my year 9s and some of the absurdities generated can be hilarious!

This is a game I've created for my year 11's. They've been struggling with keywords so this is a fun activity that can be played multiple times with them. There are differing levels of rules so can allow for differentiation as well. The cards have been created so that you can print them double sided and the tiles will match up (or print and photocopy 1sided - 2 sided and it should work) I recommend laminating and printing each set of different colour paper. There are about 30 words in total. The rules in short are, Spread the cards out across your table with the keyword facing up Each player takes it in turn to select a card and guess the definition of the word. If the player guesses correctly with the reverse of the card they keep the card and add it to their pile. If they are incorrect the leave the card to the table and put back 3 cards from their hand. Winner is the person with the most cards at the end of the game. Also available as bundle Also available Christianity Islam Themes A - F Please review! Thanks
