Here is the first of a half terms worth of lessons, introducing RS. The emphasis is on the skills for the subject, the nature of investigations, asking questions. Included is the work sheet, they write 'ultimate questions' in the question mark. Looks good if they do them colourful! Please note this ppt requires the free web player plugin for power point, it is really easy to install, you literally just click on 'my apps' from the menu bar when you have power point open, look for the video player and click add. I was having trouble using you tube through the power point so I started using the web player app instead. The video, if the download doesn't work, is on you tube and it is simply the trailer to 'the story of God' documentary with Morgan Freeman. Thanks!
