Due to the change in the way teaching will happen in September, I have revised the Islam Beliefs and Teachings (AQA - though applicable across specifications) unit to include no sharing of resources and PowerPoint-led learning through an engaging and well-designed Work Pack. This unit explores all of the nuanced and specialist learning by adopting socially distant teaching techniques. The PowerPoints aid a ‘plug in and play’ approach to teaching, as staff will be moving around a lot and will not be able to carry the normal resources needed for a lesson outside of a specialist curriculum area. In addition, the Powerpoint and the Work Pack now includes all resources that the students need to access an engaging, high-quality education, whilst effectively minimising risk to health due to the current situation. Lessons include: L1 Intro to Islam L2 Six Articles and Five Roots L3 Nature of Allah and Al-Qadr L4 Prophets L5 Holy Books L6 Angels L7 Afterlife Comprehensive Work Pack also included. Scaffolding is included in the Powerpoint itself and also in the Work Pack to ensure maximum engagement and comprehension. Challenges (extension tasks) also exist throughout the unit to further enhance skills and understanding. There are a variety of knowledge, understanding and evaluation tasks throughout the unit, including video and debate activities that the students always love - year-on-year. Please give feedback!
