GCSE Interleaved Learning: Do Religions Discriminate?
**GCSE Religious Studies: Philosophy and Ethics: Human Rights and Social Justice
**
Lesson: How do religions discriminate?
This lesson is Lesson 5 in ‘Human Rights and Social Justice’, devised as part of a brand new, interleaved scheme of work for GCSE. It is intended as a double (roughly one and a half hours per lesson) however, due to time restrictions and the embedded support in the corresponding Work Pack, could also be taught in a minimal one hour.
This scheme of learning has been devised explicitly to support the Recovery Curriculum, interleave learning with previously-learned religious units (Christianity and Islam) and support cognition through interleaving techniques.
Although part of a unit, this lesson can also be taught as a stand-alone lesson, e.g. for revision. The corresponding Work Packs would also support a home-learned curriculum as the PowerPoints and Packs themselves include differentiation and scaffolding, where required.
The interleaved schemed of work are specifically designed to promote the two skills desired for success at GCSE:
AO1 (Knowledge and Understanding)
AO2 (Analysis and Evaluation)
The resources are specifically created to ensure students are aware of the skill they are demonstrating and how to improve further through modelling.
These new units bring the relevance back to our topics, for example, contentious debate on the pandemic, the genocide of the Uighur Muslims and other cruccurrent affairs. Students will experience greater engagement and enjoyment in a fair and balanced approach.
Lesson includes:
Homework Slide
Unit Cover and lesson overview
Starter activity, including interleaving
Key words (literacy focus)
Introduction of key information (AO1 - knowledge) and how this is used (AO1 - understanding)
Introduction of a contentious issue or debate (AO2 - analysis) and finalised judgement (AO2 - evaluation)
Plenary
The Work Pack:
If you would rather work in exercise books, the Work Pack is designed so that you can print off relevant pages - it is a resource pack. This would be useful if you have appropriate curriculum time to cover the content of the course. Unfortunately, this is not the case across all schools, and therefore the Work Pack helps by providing time-saving activities, whilst still being able to cover the breadth and depth of the course.
In addition, students who may be limited by literacy issues, e.g. slower writing paces, are not disadvantaged or capped in their progress. Therefore, some classes could use a mixed approach - part Work Pack, part exercise book - and all students will be able to progress through the same volume of content.
Please give feedback: I am always happy to respond to comments - whether positive or constructive - this will help to improve the quality of my resources in the future and, more importantly, the quality of pupils’ RE/RS education in general - which is what we’re all here for!

The Bible in 30 Seconds - Important Teachings and Stories from the Bible
This resource is a tour of the teachings found within the Bible, separated into 4 sections:
The Beginning
The New Testament
Parables and Miracles
Birth of Christianity
Each of the 46 slides/page sums up one key idea from within the Bible in 30-seconds. The ‘Tasks’ slide on page 2 is a choice activity for the person who is interacting with the resource. I have used these as extension activities and lifted the slides independently for use within lessons or homework tasks.
I’ve also printed mine out on the ‘2 slides per page’ printer setting, laminated them and put them onto a split ring (keyring) so as to make a flip-book resource.
Very versatile resource and adapatable to class or home learning. It is downloaded as a PowerPoint and as a PDF, for compatibility.

Scaffolding is included in the Powerpoint itself and also in the Work Pack to ensure maximum engagement and comprehension. Challenges (extension tasks) also exist throughout the unit to further enhance skills and understanding.
There are a variety of knowledge, understanding and evaluation tasks throughout the unit, including video and debate activities that the students always love - year-on-year.
