KS3 Religious Studies for Year 7 and 8

Notes, Worksheets and Supporting Presentations

The paper resource contains worksheets, notes and assessments designed to be complemented by the set of PowerPoint presentations.

The RE PowerPoint slideshows are designed to meet lesson objectives through a variety of activities, and are generally structured around the three part lesson model (starter, main and plenary activities). Most slides have a copy of the objective on to save the teachers and pupils time.

The presentations would catch students' attention and most importantly make them THINK

  • The initial slide contains a starter or an outline of the forthcoming lesson.
  • Includes extension activities for children who finish quickly and have been designed to be flexible and adaptable for all abilities.
  • Typical activities are matching key words to their definitions, reading text for meaning, drawing and labelling, spelling and comprehension tests, discussion questions, making corrections and so on.
  • The final slide usually contains a plenary activity designed to test whether lesson objectives have been met.

What do teachers say about this resource? (2028)

It fits in with my year 9 and year 8 scheme of work, so I can dip in and out. It is better than other resources because it is easy to understand and can be used straight away rather than having to adapt it. If you want to save time, invest in this product

What do teachers say about this resource? (2027)

I particularly like this resource because it will support non-specialists with the delivery of the curriculum as it is easily accessible and detailed. It provides the students with activities that help them to use the knowledge they have been taught. It is better than other resources because it is easy to follow and not too complicated. If you have non-specialists teaching RE and limited budget then use the ZigZag material

I think the PowerPoint resources were fantastic - just what we need in RE! At last!

Excellent resourse... Visually very good for students of this age... Very interactive... Constant questions for students to answer and get involved

D O'Hara, Peer Reviewer

The resource was engaging... The presentations would catch students' attention and most importantly make them THINK about the Religious and Philosophical questions that are being put to them in the presentation... YES: I would buy this resource.

I think this kind of resource is excellent and would welcome any more that are ICT based as there is a need in most RS departments

If you are new to the job this will give you something to work from and you can tailor to suit

I enjoyed the resources on the whole some really good ideas for assessment [...] with the peer marking and [students] being able to reflect on their own learning
