Created with the WJEC / Eduqas RS GCSE in mind, though can be applied across specifications and qualifications. As an examiner for this specification, I have used what I know of the course to create this resource.
Tasks include:
1. Questions
2. Extension exercise with choice of activity
Please give feedback! I am always happy to respond to comments - whether positive or constructive - this will help to improve the quality of my resources in the future and, more importantly, the quality of pupils' RE/RS education in general - which is what we're all here for!
Entire unit for teaching about the Holocaust. I created this unit as a result of visiting Poland, the concentration camps, Jewish and history museums, Schindler’s factory and a variety of other key locations. I was also able to meet a survivor and, as you will see from the resources, this features heavily as a theme throughout - that this isn’t just an event that only affected the people who have long since died, but that it is still as important today as it was then.
The unit is also meant as preparation for pupils who will be moving on to study Jewish persecution at GCSE as part of a wider approach to tackling prejudice and discrimination. History of Judaism is also important if studying Judaism as a main religion under the new specifications.
