What do teachers say about this resource? (8180, 8181, 8193)
A good and useful document to aid a scheme of work for the new GCSE course... it would be a beneficial tool, in particular for small departments and new teachers to RS... I like the wide variety of ideas, the links made in retention, learning and clear links to many aspects of the new GCSE [as well as] some of the creative tasks and the way it supports revision and also learning. I really liked how some tasks had great depth and also were useful ‘summaries’ of learning that pupils are now expected to make... There are some fantastic and creative ideas here... it matches the challenge and new emphasis on literacy that the new specification brings... Activity 1 – Love this idea. Very concise and really summarises what pupils need to know.
