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.

Hello, These lessons are designed for topic 1 'Christian Beliefs' in the New Edexcel GCSE 'Religion and Ethics Through Christianity'. There are 2 as I have 2 hours per week however they can be condensed into 1 (which is what I have had to do to fast track my year 10s). The knowledge is based upon the book endorsed by the board written by Reid and Tyler (2016) but it is not needed for these lessons. All lessons include starter activity, learning objectives, progress checks, exam questions, reference to scripture and denominations if applicable. If you have any questions please do ask. Mel

GCSE RELIGIOUS STUDIES EDEXCEL / Specification B / Topic: Muslim Beliefs Lesson 1: The Six Beliefs of Sunni Islam This lesson has been designed for Spring Term 2020. It is for 1 hour with my year 10s but can easily be adapted to a double lesson. Due to only having 1 hour, I have created an information worksheet to go along with the Powerpoint slides so the students can focus on thinking skills rather than knowledge. I wanted my students to have a comprehensive information resource to use for their revision so we can focus on skills of analysis and evaluation within the lesson. I have based this lesson on the Edexcel endorsed textbook written by Waqar Ahmad Ahmedi. Students will not need this textbook to complete the lesson but I wanted to make you as the purchaser of this resource aware. My lessons have been rated ‘Outstanding’ within internal school reviews and by Oftsed, they have been downloaded over 18,000 times and I often receive personal emails from fellow RS teachers thanking me for sharing my work. I have also won ‘Secondary Teacher of the Year 2020’ in the Essex Teaching Awards. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to email me on my personal email @ lady_mel@hotmail.co.uk
