Religion & Environment: Complete Unit (RE/RS)

This is a complete unit of work introducing students to the religious ideas about how to treat the environment (Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism & Sikhism). This resource includes enough content for 8-10 lessons, depending on how long is spent on student’s delivering their presentations (designed as 50 minute lessons but would easily fill 1 hour lessons).It was designed for Year 7 in my school, but would be suitable for any KS3 year. There’s a range of different resources and activities to keep students engaged and encourage independent learning.

It includes:

• A tracker for the whole of my Y7 schemes of learning, featuring this as the third unit

• A factual recall test opportunity (link to a microsoft form)

• 3 pieces of fully resourced homework (1 revision based for a factual recall test, 1 project based designing a presentation in groups and 1 revision based with a knowledge organiser and practice assessment questions designed to be used in next unit - Spirituality)

All learning objectives are based around ‘know, apply, extend’ and differentiation is present in the form of sentence starters, excellence challenges and model answers.

This is complete and ready to teach! Non-specialists have used it and followed it with ease.

Hopefully this will save you time and energy :)
