This is an automated powerpoint and planning sheet to train students studying GCSE AQA RS to answer the 12 Mark Questions. The PowerPoint contains, in one slide, space for the question, an animated planning time section (programmable to the length of time corresponding to the strength of your students) which disappears, as well as disappearing clocks which time the 13 minutes available for a 12 mark question in an exam situation (number of minutes divided by number of marks). The slide has space for religious teaching, as well as the standard explanation of a 12 mark question. The powerpoint advances automatically, and ends with a ‘times up’ clock covering the screen. The document is for students to plan a 12 mark question, in order to get the most out of the time given to write it. There are boxes to complete which, if done correctly, could gain them 12 out of 12.

Updated for 2019 definitions. A one-hour revision package for the Islam: Beliefs section of the AQA GCSE course. Print the document as a booklet (back to back, stapled in the centre). Students to complete what they can from memory, then fill in the blanks as you go through the ‘Questions’ PowerPoint. Then, go through the ‘Answers’ PowerPoint. Refer to www.YouTube.com/RSin5orLess for videos which compliment this revision resource. There is a selection of six religious teachings on the second last slide; this is as an illustration. The final slide has a selection of 12 mark questions they can complete on the back page of the booklet. This can be done in an hour, but needs to be done at a pace!
