Topic: Chanukah
Level: Key Stage Three
Unit: Judaism
This is a great end of term lesson for the Autumn term. It focuses on the topic of Chanukah and is designed to fit into a Judaism scheme of work.
Students are expected to have some prior knowledge of Judaism although this can only be a few lessons.
The lesson goes through the history of Chanukah as well as some of the traditions. It then allows students to spend time making Chanukah cards.
Lesson Activities
**Starter: **Guess Who?
Activity One: Watch video and write summary of the story of Chanukah
Activity Two: Pick two things Jews do during Chanukah and explain why they do them
Main Activity: Make Chanukah cards
Plenary: Blooket (link provided)
This is a great way to end term one for students who are studying Religious Studies at A-Level.
The quiz presupposes knowledge of the first few topics from Christianity and Ethics but these can easily be changed to suit your scheme of work.
There are three fun rounds and three rounds based on what students have learned for their A-Level.
Quiz Format
Team quiz with students in small Teams
Each question is multiple choice and has a one minute timer bar on the slide
There are six rounds
Each round has ten questions (60 questions total)
It should take around an hour to complete (rounds can be removed or added to suit)
The Rounds
Round 1 - Divine Command Theory
Round 2 - Christmas
This round tests general knowledge of Christmas with some fun and slightly obscure questions!
Round 3 - Bible as a Source of Wisdom
Round 4 - Who’s that philosopher?
This is a picture round - students have to pick from four possible philosophers for each photo
Round 5 - Virtue Theory
Round 6 - The Holiday Season
Students are given a date and four possible festivals that are celebrated on that date. All the festivals are celebrated in the month of December
Answers are included at the end of each round
This is a fun starter activity or plenary for students who are studying the Ethics Unit of A-Level Religious Studies.
Students are given one of the six trigger cards.
They then have to go around the room and find three of the smaller cards that fit underneath their ‘heading’. The smaller cards contain statements, quotes and key words that relate to each heading.
The printed sheet is in order, so the first row relates to the first heading, the second the second etc. A few items could arguably fit under multiple headings.
Can be used as a starter or a plenary. I use this as part of a DIRT lesson following a 20 mark essay on Finnis.
This is designed for the Eduqas exam board but will suit other A-Level exam boards as well.
Topic: Islam Beliefs
Unit: Study of Religion: Islam
Exam Board: AQA
This is a revision lesson for Islam beliefs. This can be used for revision in either Year 10 or Year 11 of the GCSE course.
The lesson focuses on Islam Beliefs only. This is designed for the AQA GCSE but is general enough that it could suit other exam boards as well.
Activities
Starter: Making connections
Activity 1: Key word definitions
Activity 2: Learn the quote
Activity 3: Arguments for and against table (12 mark question)
Plenary: Scavenger hunt
Making connections and scavenger hunt activities are included.
