Coola Boola Resources

Average Rating4.10
(based on 15 reviews)

I love learning! I am too easily excited over creating or finding new resources or ideas for the classroom. I can't wait to see students engaging and enjoying their learning. Throw in a Laminator and I am set!! I am a bit of a planner and I am constantly thinking of new ideas and processes to make things in teaching go a little smoother and improve . I thought it was time to start sharing the ideas whirling round my head. I hope you like the resources I have created and find them useful!

Evaluation Q Planning Template- Religious Studies

(0)
A template to support students with writing an evaluation answer using F.A.R.M.E.R.S. as a checklist after they have jotted down their ideas. The template includes steps and questions to support with structuring their arguments. I tell my students that ‘I’ is banned to try and encourage a higher level of writing and avoid phrases like ‘I think’ or ‘I agree’ etc. Let me know what you think! Keep a check back on the resource as I will add samples of completed worksheets over time. F.A.R.M.E.R.S Checklist: For Against Religion/Religious teachings/beliefs Multiple denominations/views Evaluation Refer back to Q Sacred text/source of Authority.
Literacy:  Book Review/ book report

Literacy: Book Review/ book report

(0)
A book report template based on a facebook page. The page is created on the main character of the book and students add a 'status' regarding what happened in different parts of the story as well as the theme/ moral of the story. There are sections for students to add friends(other characters, locations, feelings/ activities and give a recommendation for the book. I use this as part of a book bingo where students must complete a book report to mark off the Bingo card and hopefully means that students can't just use the blurb to write the report and they will actually read the book!! I would appreciate constructive feedback or comments on how you used the resource.

Heaven and Hell: Sin and Salvation worksheet

(0)
UPDATED Dec 2016 In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you ... (John 14:2-4) A worksheet designed as an application for a room in God's house. The outlines some of the main criteria for salvation. Students can use the set of applicant profile cards or they can use a famous person and decide whether they think Salvation would be granted. They must justify their reasons for their decision and write a response outlining their decision with support from religious teachings and quotes using the writing frames available. The class can then discuss the outcomes for the "applicants" This will help build their evaluation skills in deciding which teaching would be best. They have to record which denomination has granted or denied salvation. If you have run the activity with a class I would love to know how it went and any constructive feedback on the resource on how it could be improved further. Thank you!

I have gathered some Bible quotes to use as evidence. e.g. Education: could be N/A as God is Omniscient e.g. Work Experience: Creator: created the Universe, Judge They need to complete the additional information section using Bible references/ quotes to support their statements on the nature of God. I would love your feedback and thoughts on the resource. If you like what I have created why not check out my other resources!
