Hello fellow teachers, This booklet resource was created for my GCSE students during lockdown, I have found this to be a great way of ensuring that all students have what they need despite working in the classroom or at home. I have continued to use this resource now we have gone back to in school teaching and I have seen a significant improvement in students using religious information in their exam answers. Each student has a printed copy and then I upload a digitial copy online using Google Classroom so they have access at home too. The booklet contains: Title Page Contents Page Personal Learning Checklist using the Edexcel Specification B Core Knowledge Organiser Lessons 1-8 information including scripture Key word glossary Practice Exam Questions My year 11s can now use this booklet as a revision resource too as it contains everything that they need to go over core content.

Hello, I have created this PPT to be used during mentor/form time. It allows students to have a safe space to discuss what happened in Manchester and to question how this could happen. It then leads to a clip from the BBC interviewing a man who is becoming de-radicalised, discussion questions and then signs to spot. Final question gets students to think about British Values. I hope you find this useful, Mel
