Revision Flash Cards template AQA 9-1 GCSE Religious Studies short course Christianity & Judaism

This is an excel file with the front templates for over 200 cue cards for revising the whole of the new AQA Religious Studies short course GCSE - this is for the units Key beliefs of Christianity, Key beliefs of Judaism, Relationships & families, Religion, peace & conflict which also constitute 50% of the AQA Spec A full course. It comes with instructions on the first tab so you can effortlessly ping it to your reprographics department and tell them how many copies you need. I would recommend having each unit (on a separate tab on the file) printed on a different colour card to make it easier for the students to recognise which unit each concept goes with.

There are 8 cards on one sheet of A4, and the idea is that it prints with lines to separate them that the students can cut into a series of Cue cards, tagged with a treasury tag (not supplied!). It forces them to read your prescribed revision materials as they write on the reverse of the card with information and details about the concept.

You will get the excel file in an unlocked state so if you want to you can add your own into the template, but with 200+ concepts included, it is a complete set for the short course. If you are teaching the full course AQA spec A then it will give you half of the concepts your students need.

I am an experienced Head of RE and been doing this sort of thing for quite a while now - the most important thing after teaching good lessons is to have good revision resources. In my experience Cue cards work well as they are a good tool to break the course down into manageable chunks (I give them a few to do at a time as homework) but also to allow them to take responsibility for their learning and so they can see their subject knowledge building as the revision period progresses.
