KS3 RE Workbook on Women, Sexism, Feminism, Women's rights - fully contained workbooklet

Another one of my workbooklets - this one is about women.

Lesson #1: How did women win freedoms? - history of women’s rights
Lesson #2: What did Bathsheba want? - reworking of the story of King David from his new wife’s point of view.
Lesson #3: Are women treated fairly in Islam? - focus on headdresses, debate about French law that bans the burkha - is it a symbol of repression or an expression of faith?
Lesson #4: Is the Church sexist? - a lesson about literal and liberal interpretations of Christian scripture about women.
Lesson #5: Who is your famous female hero? - space for some personal research, a guest speaker or a IT lesson.
Lesson #6: Assessment write-up - focussing on inspirational women, and why they are considered inspirational.

What you get here is the result of 20 years of teaching this topic, each year I adapt it and improve the sequence of lessons. I have been HEad of RE for 15 years and make sure my workbooks tick the boxes that RE teachers need to tick - literacy, textual studies, debates, reflective practice and AO2, British Values, PSHE, it does it all.

Originally written for lockdown learning my students ask me to continue using these workbooks with them in class as they can finish the lesson at home, or catch up easily if they miss a lesson, and cover lessons are so much better quality - my students have an hour a week of RE but only 1 hour a fortnight of that is with me, the RE specialist in school, so the booklet allows for continuity between teachers and allows my technical input each lesson.
