A new scheme of work aimed at KS3 Y7. This unit of work will be a Chronology of Monotheism. Starting with Genesis, moving through Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Each religion will cover Key religious figures, information on their holy book and a rite of passage/religious practice. The aim of this unit is to compliment our GCSE curriculum in which we study Christianity and Islam. The learning journey for the unit is included. The Bible: An introduction to the Bible, looking at the Old and New Testament in a video and gap filler. Students then look at the different ways the Bible can be interpretted- liberal and literal. They consider other sources of authority that may provide more guidance in the modern day (prayer, visiting church, listening to their conscience). Students then pretend to ring into This Morning to answer a phone in question regarding if the Bible is out of date.

We have decided to interleave our GCSE curriculum. This is the first unit which we are calling The Nature of God. It interleaves content from Christian Beliefs, Christian Practices, Theme A Relationships & Families and Theme B Religion and Life. This unit will be taught 3 times a fortnight and will provide the first term (Year 9) of a 3 year interleaved GCSE. Aimed at AQA but may be suitable for other exam boards. Lessons have 2 different tasks, progress (most students), progress+ (top 10% of class as a challenge). Lesson 1 & 2: The Nature of God- Christian Beliefs Focus. L1- Introduction to the GCSE- lesson content is slightly less as setting expectations, sorting seating plans etc will be a priority. Lesson looks at all words to describe God’s nature. Priority is then placed on looking at Omnibenevolence and Omnipotence. Students consider scripture and how it shows God’s power and love. L2- Looking at God being Just. Evaluation and Analysis of The Parable of the Sheep & Goats. If you purchase please leave a review.
