Alternative Religions: Complete Unit (RE/RS)

This is a complete unit of work introducing students to the religions other than the mainstream 6 world religions. This resource includes 10 lessons (designed as 50 minute lessons but would easily fill 1 hour lessons).It was designed for Year 9 in my school, but would be suitable for any KS3 year. There’s a range of different resources and activities to keep students engaged and encourage independent learning.

• 'Evaluate’ 12-mark question marking sticker templates (ready to print on consortium stickers - pack of 8 - 99mmx68mm)
• An assessment lesson with the opportunity for stretch and challenge (called an ‘excellence task’) - based on previous 3 units taught (Ethics, Judaism and Philosophy)
• A DIRT lesson including model answers, feedback sheet and stretch and challenge questions
• 2 pieces of fully resourced homework ( 1 research based and 1 revision based with a knowledge organiser and practice assessment questions)

All learning objectives are based around ‘know, apply, extend’ and differentiation is present in the form of sentence starters, excellence challenges and model answers.
This is complete and ready to teach! Non-specialists have used it and followed it with ease.

Hopefully this will save you time and energy :)
