This is a 5 lesson unit (Part 1) about Islam and Akhirah for Year 6, based on Discovery education resources. Part 1 is ‘How does belief in Akhirah help Muslims lead good lives and how does faith help people with faith deal with matters of life and death?’ Part 2 is also available and follows on from this unit covering concepts of ‘jihad’ in greater depth. This unit comprises 5 lessons based on the following learning questions: Lesson 1: What is a ‘good’ life? Lesson 2: How do Muslim’s lead good lives? Lesson 3: What is Jihad? Lesson 4: What do Muslim’s believe about heaven? Lesson 5: How well does faith help people cope with matters of life and death? *I always plan for 5 lessons to ensure there is a lesson spare in a 6 week unit to explore one further or spend some time coming back to something the children did not fully understand - or to complete tasks. It allows for a lesson to go over two sessions, if required, in greater depth. All lesson PowerPoints (both in PPT and PDF format). All support docs/files for each lesson (both Word and PDF). Planning document covering each lesson with differentiation/extension opportunities. Please leave a positive review if you like this resource to let others know! Many thanks in advance.
