Summary

There is a dearth of Religious Education material currently available for primary schools offering clear guidance for effective pedagogy whilst also providing linked, focused standalone support material.The Complete Multifaith Resource for Primary RE Ages 7-11 is a multi-faith teacher's resource which both demonstrates an effective method for exploring concepts and provides a comprehensive standalone programme of learning. It consists of a book and CD-ROM, featuring six concepts that are key to effective learning in RE for the target age level. This indispensable tool provides a modern, innovative and refreshing approach to teaching RE that is completely self contained and has already proved to be effective in a large number of schools and can be applied to the effective delivery of any agreed syllabuses for RE. It focuses on an enquiry into concepts or key ideas that underpin religious beliefs and practices and includes comprehensive resources to enable teachers to lead their pupils through the learning experience.Throughout, the author provides a clear and simple structure to learning through the uses of engaging activities, stories, pictures and questions to prompt discussion. The book includes material from Christianity and the other major world faiths (Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and Sikhism). The accompanying CD provides activity sheets, pictures and stories for use on the interactive whiteboard requiring no further search for resources.Multifaith Lesson plans for KS2 classes are based around the significant concepts of :-Community (Christianity+ other faiths) God(Christianity+ other faiths) Holy (Christianity and Judaism) Symbol ( Christianity + other faiths but not Islam) Ritual (Christianity+ other faiths) Suffering (Buddhism) Sacrifice (Christianity) Devotion (Hinduism) Revelation(Islam) Freedom (Judaism) Service(Sikhism)ãThe book includes a 'commentary' for teachers to talk through with the class, questions to prompt discussions and ideas for activities. Support material including images for projection, sort cards and writing frames are provided on the CD.
