Developed generically to support progress in Teaching and Learning across RE, Citizenship and PSHE in our school. The Grid is shared with pupils, TAs and used by specialists/non specialists to monitor, standardise, self/peer assess and develop Pupil/Teacher dialogue. Feedback and comments on improvement helpful. Thanks for your support

I have put together a Power Point based Programme for Unit 1Topic 2 AQA Religion and Sport with accompanying SOW. Additionally a generic but focussed PEE Making Rapid Progress Programme to support better quality answers at Key Stage 4. It was used as part of our Interventions for a range of abilities. Please do give some feedback across all my resources so I can see what works and what does not.

AQA Religion and Multicultural Society- This is Topic 4 in Spec B and I have produced a Scheme of Work and accompanying power-point presentation. The Slides meet the Spec B Scheme of Work and Specification for AQA. I hope and trust it is helpful. Please do leave feedback.

This is a project where pupils use the suggested resources to complete beliefs, quotes and teachings for all the Themes in Paper 2. We focus on Theme A,B,D and E. The project will aid all pupils with having a point of reference when answering exam questions and learning about religious views on the topics. Paper 2 does allow non religious views to be included in the 12 markers so I have also added a column for this. We teach the Equality Act, Human rights and other laws to give a third view which allows pupils to write much more and gain more depth on each topic. Once completed colleagues can use the best ones to plan further learning activities - perhaps share more basic versions (fully editable) for the less able. The Table layout makes writing 4, 5 and 12 markers much easier as pupils locate the relevant word and the key teachings to populate their own responses. I am making it free during these COVID times and hopefully save colleagues time as this is the final week of term for many.

I have used quotes shared by user Cillachinchilla’s to create a booklet where pupils can learn to apply and understand them better. This can be used as a homework booklet or a home learning pack during School lockdown. Thanks to Cillachinchilla for initially sharing. I hope it is useful for all colleagues. The quotes mainly focus on applying Christianity to the themes paper but can be used at the end of Year 9 too. Hope all colleagues are safe and well.

Hi all. I have created some support material including a desk help sheet to support pupil progress using pupil speak grades. A PEE activity intervention to support high progress. A Revision Programme for Unit 1 AQA Religion and Citizenship. A Revision Pack for AQA Unit 2 Spec B Religion and Young People. Feedback appreciated.

This resource is a blank proforma. It can be printed A4 or A3. It is crucial that any resource can be used in multiple ways especially when colleagues spend time and effort making them and pupils do respond in different ways. It can be used to check what pupils know as part of retrieval practice It can be used to populate and then test learners It can be used for paired/group activities in Paper 2 Themes It can be used as a revision aid based on what the teacher has taught It can be used to support modelling exam responses for pupils It can be used to support scaffolding especially for 4 and 5 Mark responses including the key questions of contrasting beliefs. It is applicable to Themes A, B, D and E. It can be modified to support other themes. Once completed, it can be used as a knowledge organiser. It worked very well with my Year 11 groups. The activity can be repeated throughout the learning cycle to promote retrieval and progress.

A basic scaffold for pupils to practice structuring their essays to support extended writing for 12 markers in paper 1 Beliefs and practices and Paper 2 Thematic studies. Can be used to improve practice Can be used to promote independence Can be used to ensure pupils can write basic responses rather than missing questions out Has worked well with Target grade 3-7 pupils. Higher attainers who need tweeks have also used it to success.

Part of Topic 4 Religion and Multicultural Society Covers the idea of faith communities and includes relevant quotes Pupils are further given the opportunity to discuss and evaluate religious involvement in politics Hope it helps as this is the last year of the SPEC

Part of the AQA RS GCSE UNIT 2 Topic, Religion and Prejudice. Specifically dealing with the key points regarding Religious perspectives on Homosexuality and Role of women. This lesson focusses on covering the Syllabus requirements in a mixed ability setting. This will be the last year for this SPEC under AQA.

A Lesson on official statistics in crime to support a critical awareness of what Official statistics show. Pupils can also engage with a self report study to develop an awareness of other methodologies. It was an engaging lesson and pupils enjoyed playing a detective. They also noticed that the disadvantages and advantages were misplaced which was good as they recognised advantages and disadvantages of the survey method.

A Marking codes insert for exercise books that supports Literacy and writing for progress based on the Grade 9-1 GCSE in Religious Studies for AQA. Colleagues can modify according to the needs of their schools but this will help reduce the amount of repeat written instructions and develop more symbol based marking.

An introduction to crime for AQA GCSE Sociology.

This will be the last year for this SPEC but I found it worked really well in the last two weeks before the examination.

Hi colleagues this is for AQA SPEC B Religion and Citizenship Unit 1 Topic 1 Religion and Relationships The revision notes use all the key words and quotes in short paragraphs that support pupil progress in revision and in lessons.
