Description

Assessment in RE is for many a difficult and sometimes contentious issue. This resource brings theory and practice together as it provides practical and thought-provoking ideas to help busy classroom teachers provide accessible and challenging tasks in RE that also support literacy objectives. Examples of approaches focusing on a range of different religions are included, each of which can be adapted to suit the particular school's scheme of work.

The activities focus on both 'learning about' and 'learning from' religion and provide a range of opportunities for pupils to express their own and respond to others' ideas and world-views. The 32-page book includes many photocopiable activity sheets.

Sections include: Frequently asked questions; Marking pupils' work - a shortcut; Using assessment criteria to boost attainment; The Parable of the Sheep and the Goats; Learning from Sikhism; Assessing skills and viewpoints - beliefs about God; Islam and the idea of God; 'More or Less' task setting; Peer and self-assessment in RE.
