This lesson explores more deeply one of the five pillars discussed in the last lesson: prayer or salah. Islamic prayer takes place five times a day, each time taking about ten minutes. These compulsory prayers help Muslims keep God at the front of their thoughts and keep them from doing bad deeds. Other prayers also take place at any time and these are called du’a and are often more personal prayers. The thinking skills strategy of fact or opinion will be used in this lesson. This strategy is used when material is controversial, such as the idea of a religious belief. It encourages people to think about what is a fact, a belief or an opinion. Learning objective Learning about: • To understand the importance of regular prayer in a Muslim’s life; and to understand the beliefs that teach the importance of regular prayer. Learning from: • To understand that what is truth to one religion, may be considered to be an opinion to another group of people. Success criteria Learning about: • Pupils will be able to explain the importance of prayer in the life of a Muslim and discuss how prayer improves the life of a Muslim. Learning from: • Pupils will have considered facts and opinions about prayers and be able to express their own views about how different people might categorise beliefs.

It can often be very difficult to teach inference to less able readers because they cannot access challenging texts. Texts that support the teaching of ‘reading between the lines’, or inference and deduction. The use of photographs as a first approach in this resource means all children can develop these important comprehension skills. Each unit contains: Text 1 provides a story or explanation about the photograph that uses inference to give information (there are hints, but the author doesn’t explicitly say what is happening);Text 2 is an alternative text which makes the story really obvious. There is little or no inference and the simplicity of the text provides a good comparison with Text 1. The texts are written to support the teaching of inference and deduction and will probably need to be read to the children. The point of the exercise is not for the children to decode the texts but to understand and answer questions about it. Unit 1 available free on our both our website and TES shop. Leave a review
