We have decided to interleave our GCSE curriculum. This is the first unit which we are calling The Nature of God. It interleaves content from Christian Beliefs, Christian Practices, Theme A Relationships & Families and Theme B Religion and Life. This unit will be taught 3 times a fortnight and will provide the first term (Year 9) of a 3 year interleaved GCSE. Aimed at AQA but may be suitable for other exam boards. Lessons have 2 different tasks, progress (most students), progress+ (top 10% of class as a challenge). Lesson 1 & 2: The Nature of God- Christian Beliefs Focus. L1- Introduction to the GCSE- lesson content is slightly less as setting expectations, sorting seating plans etc will be a priority. Lesson looks at all words to describe God’s nature. Priority is then placed on looking at Omnibenevolence and Omnipotence. Students consider scripture and how it shows God’s power and love. L2- Looking at God being Just. Evaluation and Analysis of The Parable of the Sheep & Goats. If you purchase please leave a review.

This is a mini research unit that will be taught ahead of the units (after the introduction unit). It should take approximately 11 lessons to go through the basic research methods. I am aware this is no longer necessary to be taught as an explicit unit, however we feel they need the basic knowledge to be able to answer the questions in the different units. Lesson 2 looks at what a pilot study is and encourages students to pilot a questionnaire. There is a gap filler task for the sampling techniques and 3 exam questions with model answers.

Included is the progress checkpoint that we complete every 6 lessons, this may suit your assessment schedule as a mini-mid unit assessment. Students complete this as a low-stake, open book assessment where they can see if their notes are of a good enough quality.

This lesson looks at Young and Willmott’s Symmetrical Family theory (Key Thinkers). It is evaluated using Oakley and several other sociologists. Students then plan and answer a 12 mark essay question. I have then included the progress checkpoint (low-stakes, open book mini assessment) that follows in the next lesson.

Islam Practices, aimed at AQA Spec (Year 10). The lesson can either be taught as a market place activity or students completing as you teach each section (preferred) there are plenty of video clips and students complete a 12 mark plan (or complete the question) at the end of the lesson. Will take 2 lessons to complete if all video clips are watched.

New spec 9-1. Introductory lesson looks at the definition of family and household. The starter activity is a quiz that builds up with one question every lesson. So by the end of the unit the starter will be an 18 question quiz. The idea is that the question is something they won’t know/challenging, that they will learn in the lesson. They then answer the same question each lesson, helping them to retain the information as it is repeated each lesson. The question usually focuses on a keyword.
