GCSE Christianity Beliefs with influences-practices writing support MAT

This resource can be printed on A4 and acts as a bridge between beliefs and practices
In the updated SOW for GCSE Christianity, there is an emphasis on links.
Pupils can use this in the following way:

• Revision tool/knowledge organiser
• Highlight key words
• Allocate a range of influences to each belief and then rank them in importance or relevance to promote higher levels of understanding
• Number each influence and allocate to each belief beginning which ones apply to most of them.
  Teachers can use it to:
• develop pupil’s written response with small chunks of information on influences and importance.
• For example, the crucifixion has obvious influences but also has specific responses.
• pupils can be stretched to further develop each influence or practice to show deeper understanding especially for 4, 5 and 12 mark extended writing.
• Check knowledge and understanding through quizzing
• Pupils can do self test (I do, we do, you do)
• In class discussion, teacher can call target pupils with each belief and see how many influences they can recall or link.
• In class discussion, pupils can make active links to the beliefs and practices.
