Most of the contents are easily adaptable to other subjects (especially Humanities subjects). Most activities are designed with differentiation in mind.
In terms of design: slides may feature timers, animations, and stimulating graphics. I have always been a bit of a perfectionist in my design and hope it comes across in the slides.

The quiz is a simple test that looks for indicators of religious extremism and exposure to Wahhabist Islam (the branch that has become associated with terrorism). If you fear individuals in your school may have issues in relation to religious extremism, this is the test for you.
It should NOT be used as a whole school test: this would risk inflaming islamophobia in your school.
It should be used with individual students with the utmost discretion and privacy, and only where previous evidence deems suspicion reasonable and rational.
The ideal person to administer this test is the school counsellor or someone in a position of trust in relation to the individual student.
The questionnaire is a tool for exploring basic attitudes to Britain, Western values, religious tolerance, and extremist attitudes. The odd numbers are all positive indicators, the even numbers are negative indicators ; you should be able to create a total score for a given student if you wish to create data using this test.
Ideally, once the test is complete, a teaching professional or counsellor can discuss the students answers and clarify their meaning.
Professionals are advised to handle this matter with the utmost delicacy.
