This is a terrific lesson that challenges the pupils to create their own brand new religion. The lesson can be used as a stand alone lesson, or as part of the ‘Alternative Religions’ SoW. The lesson sets up an imaginary world where they get the opportunity to create their own unique religion based on what they have learned from their R.S. lessons. They work in groups to complete this task, and then present it to the class. The groups will then evaluate each others presentations and relgions (for some peer assessment). This lesson could be one, two or even three lessons.

Some empty pages to put in extra information or for past exam papers. Hope it is of use and saves some time.

This resource is a presentation which aims to teach about the different aims of punishment in contemporary society and Islam. Christianity is not explicitly included in this resource as the society element is based on UK and US society, which is Christian. Therefore, the Christian approaches are reflected in the society element. Islam and Shari'ah Law is somewhat different which is why it is explained separately.
