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
