CHRISTIAN PRACTICES BUNDLE

Christian Practices (updated for AQA 2026 success criteria) delivers a complete, fully scaffolded unit covering the entire specification. Every lesson features a consistent, high-impact structure: retrieval starters, misconception clearing, bite-sized direct instruction, guided rehearsal, checking for understanding, and scaffolded exam application. This ensures every student moves from recall to confident, top-band extended writing. Comes complete with SEN task support sheets for every topic. Requires minimal printing and is exceptionally easy to follow for both specialist and non-specialist teachers. Resources Included: 10 PowerPoint presentations, printable student task support sheets (SEN), integrated exam writing frames.

Each lesson focuses on 6 or 12-mark exam criteria, incorporating scaffolded writing frames to train students in targeted application (6-mark) or continuous evaluation (12-mark) throughout their responses for top-band success…

WHY CHOOSE THIS BUNDLE?
Built on Rosenshine’s Principles: Every lesson relies on small-step instruction, guided practice, and independent application to maximize long-term retention.
Scaffolding & Dual Coding: Clear visual cues, step-by-step exam frames, and tailored keyword banks ensure complex theology and practices are fully accessible to lower-literacy and SEN learners.
Responsive Assessment: Integrated “Show on Zero” interactive quizzes allow real-time checking for understanding before students begin independent written tasks.
AQA Exam Alignment: Designed strictly around the 2026 AQA mark schemes to develop explanation, application and evaluation skills, scriptural analysis, and structured conclusions across short-answer and 12-mark questions.
