Religious Clothing-KS3-Religious Studies

A ready to use Religious Studies lesson (from KS3 upwards) which introduces the concept of religious identity. The lesson enables students to answer the Enquiry Question: Why do religious groups wear specific clothing?
The lesson includes the 6 main world religions and is fun, thought provoking and fully editable, with tasks to last 60 minutes.

Students are challenged to use key terms such as; ‘Chastity, Purity and Modesty’, when evaluating why religious believers wear specific items of clothing. Students begin by reflecting on why teams, soldiers and students wear a uniform. They are then tasked with researching the religious and cultural practices surrounding specific items of clothing and practices for key religious believers. Their understanding is assessed when students have to apply the key terms to different religions and items of clothing for example the Hijab, Habit and Kippah, through comprehension questions such as- ‘How does wearing a Turban for a Sikh represent Unity?’ There is self-differentiation and assessment for learning throughout, which leads up to a creative design challenge, in which students are encouraged to design a religious item of clothing which is in keeping and respectful to religious teachings and practice.
