Over the next few weeks we will be creating revision books based on the four units we have covered this year.
You have all completed your last units mock paper- Looking For Meaning. (I will give you your grades next lesson.)
For these GREEN
revision books to be useful you need to be able to transfer the notes/information/homework/classwork/revision sheets/mock papers into helpful revision notes.
The idea is for your green book to become your Year 9 Units Revision ‘Bible’. (No offence intended!)
You will be creating revision notes for each unit, starting in the order we covered them.
(Remember you can search for all lessons on these units by clicking on the categories in the right handle column or by searching using the tab at the top right of this page!)
Units:
Is it Fair
Our World

We will be discussing and exploring the concept of death in Islam. We will also examine how the practices reflect every day actions.
We will also be using this lesson to focus on improving our exam writing skills.
Please note: You could have a recall test at any point of this term, based on any unit we have covered so far!
Here is the beginning of a modeled answer completed by Edward C.
‘Religious believers have to believe in life after death.’ Do you agree? (E) 8 Marks!
Some Christians, such as Roman Catholic would agree that you must believe in the afterlife. This is shown through the principles of Heaven and Hell. St Paul stated, ‘On Earth it is a physical body, but in Heaven it will be a spiritual body.’ This demonstrates that your body is simply a shell for your soul, and when you die; your soul will live on, in the afterlife. There is a special prayer called Requiem Mass which are said for the dead persons soul.
This is similar to some Muslims who would also agree that afterlife is an important belief in Islam. As they too believe in heaven and hell. On their deathbed Muslims should ask for forgiveness from Allah and also declare their faith. This is known as shahaadah. Muslims believe that the soul will be placed in Barzakh, which is where the soul waits for the day of Judgement, therefore suggesting there must be an afterlife. The Arabic term for this is akhirah.
This week we will begin Unit 4- Looking for Meaning. This is the final unit for the first RE paper.
We have covered Is It Fair, Our World and Relationships. You have all had many recall tests and past paper mock examinations on these units. We have gone through how to answer examination questions and annotated model answers.
You should all have quotes tables for each of the units and a revision worksheet.
Here is the Big Picture of this unit.
You will need to look up the definitions of all the specialist language.

Your next two RE lessons will be a mock examination paper on your unit of work- Looking For Meaning.
The lesson after will be a feedback lesson. Looking at the Mark Scheme and using information provided we will be improving answers both as a class and independently.
