This unit of work has been created to offer and introduction and context for the new RE GCSE, and thus is assessed in the style of GCSE assessments. However, it provides a more creative and in depth look at Christian beliefs and practices that is suitable for a Year 9/high ability KS3 group. There is a creative formative assessment (writing a modern day parable) to reflect this, as well as a GCSE style summative assessment with marks scheme.
This unit is fully resourced, but please note there are some activities that use the new AQA GCSE 9-1 text book, and some activities that use the Hodder Education Christianity Religious Studies A text book. However, the unit can be taught without these activities.
