Year 9- Religious Expression- Hajj

These last few lessons we have been covering the concept of Pilgrimage.

We have been exploring where both Muslim’s and Christian’s may go, what they may do and what is a duty rather than optional in relation to a pilgrimage.

 

Here are the resources used for the lesson on Hajj.

You have all completed your last units mock paper- Looking For Meaning. (I will give you your grades next lesson.)

For these GREEN Photo 10-05-2016, 09 04 42

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

  • Relationships

  • Looking for Meaning
