This is probably better taught over two lessons. Here we have slides for communion and baptism. The activity around communion can be adapted, it’s essentially a comparison activity.

Can be a quick lesson, a couple of good videos that can serve as useful discussion points. exam style questions included in the presentation.

Another simple lesson on festivals, I actually had mine do a research homework leading in to this. I recommend combining this lesson with another shorter one.

This lesson covers the work of three charities including street pastors, Trussell trust abd the oasis project (Carousel activity) It also includes some really helpful videos on street pastors and Trussell trust.

This lesson looks at the way Christians evangelise today. There is a video on Alpha, and the one on John Chau which appeared in the news - really useful for discussion. I got students to do a for and against for evangelism they cam up with loads of ideas.

This lesson looks at the growth (or decline) of the church in the UK as well as the rapid growth of the church across the rest of the world. It goes into detail on CFAN, using a video from their website. The video shows people falling over in the Holy Spirit so please be aware and do make a teaching point out of the beliefs in the video.

This is a longer lesson on Islam, it serves as an introductory outlining the history and cultural setting before moving on to look at Sunni and Shi’a Islam. There are a few embedded videos to make things more interesting and the final activity can be adapted to make it more creative or dynamic (carousel) as the info sheet is included.

This lesson covers the nature of God in Islam, it looks at the nature of God as ‘one’ , and explores why there are no images of God. There are a number of questions and activities included in the power point.

This lesson looks at the 99 names of God, as well as exploring the ideas of God’s immanence and transcendence. There’s a number of activities to choose between, I used the debate one as a table debate and had them circulating and writing on the table with the whiteboard pens!

This fascinating topic not for the feint hearted can be a joy to teach, but it really requires you to have your head around it. Hopefully this powerpoint will help! There is a paradox right at the centre and that is the point - the ultimate response is to say God is entirely other and we can’t know. For Muslims, two ways of understanding can be seen, Emphasising Allah’s immanence - Allah knows you so well he knows what you will do. Emphasising Allah’s transcendence - Allah is outside time and space so knows the future as we know the past.

This a revision matrix I’ve created to help my students pick up more marks on the influence questions. A number of them were failing to distinguish the influence from the belief hopefully this helps. It can also be used in class.

I’ve set this up so it can be done as a carousel type activity. Included is a scaffolded worksheet for note taking. There are are questions in the powerpoint and a 12 mark question at the end. It looks at the roles of angels including Mika’il and Jibril. It follows the AQA textbook.

Whole lesson with questions. Looks at what heaven and hell are like within Islam and how you get there!

I’ve set this up as a carousel lesson, it’s designed to be taught in one big double lesson but you could break it up. There is a worksheet pack and some source material, I also used text books to help them but they could use the internet instead. It covers the prophets named on the AQA Spec.

This is a shorter lesson that introduces the practices and explores the first of the 5 pillars, the Shahadah

A much bigger topic in the spec, this longer lesson spends time looking at all the different attributes of Islamic prayer. It includes exam questions.
