This worksheet provides images and a short description of the birth ceremonies/rites for the students to match.

An easy, end-of-unit or end of year project based on religious festivals and ceremonies. Students can use prior knowledge of religious ceremonies and festival to create their own, celebrating anything they like. Students should think about the factors that make a religious ceremony and its importance. Aimed at year 8.

Worksheet that can be used for revision purposes. Students should link all the concepts in the bubbles to other bubbles and then write along the lines how and why the two concepts link together. Can be edited for specific themes eg the Mosque, or can cover the entire unit of work. I like to photocopy in A3.

I have put some of the key Muslim concepts onto a display - I use it in the A Level classroom as a reminder of concepts to link back to in essays etc.

I use this lesson as an introduction to Buddhist views on ethical issues - it starts the students thinking about situations and linking metta and karuna (loving kindness and compassion) to ethics. It has an old AQA 6 mark question and markscheme on it - but this could be easily adapted to the new 5 mark or 12 mark questions for the new specification.
