WJEC Religious Studies GCSE 5 & 8 Markers Islam

This in lesson resource is designed to get students to engage with the WJEC markscheme.

Each side of the handout has a 5 and 8 mark question on it respectively, and a model answer to accompany it. Students are presented with both indicative content and the markscheme and their task is to re-write the answer that is given, but to improve it given the available information.

My students found this task particularly engaging and useful as they didn’t feel like they were starting with a blank canvas, they were looking to improve an example that has already been created for them. In this way the task is very accessible and low stakes.

Thanks for taking a look :)
