RE - Introduction to Islam!

(0)
In this engaging and comprehensive lesson, students are introduced to the religion of Islam. They find out a number of key introductory facts about Islam, including: -Who follows Islam; -Some of the things that they believe; -Where and how they worship; -Their sacred places and texts. Children learn through collating their collective prior knowledge, watching an interesting video (hyperlinked) and recording the key information, and exploring more information about the Qur’an, mosques and the Prophet Muhammad using a list of approved websites. They conclude by comparing what they have found out about Islam with what they know about Christianity. The lesson is tried and tested, and is easy for teachers and students to follow. It contains a comprehensive 15-slide Powerpoint which offers a step-by-step guide throughout the lesson. Challenge activities are provided in order to enrich learning for higher-attaining learners. In the past, I have used this lesson with children from across Key Stage 2 - the key learning is aligned with national expectations for RE, and also the content prescribed by most diocese regions. All images are licensed for commercial use, and are cited on the final slide.
