Philosophy, Religion and Citizenship Summer Term

During the first study period: Learners will complete the module begun in the Spring term, which focussed on how and why deities communicate with their followers. This will include an end-of module assessment and responding to feedback.

During the second study period: Learners will study how religious believers show devotion to their religions, considering worship, religious clothing, religious festivals and pilgrimages;  they will also study why believers devote their lives to religion - focussing on core beliefs about the creation of the universe and the afterlife.  Learners will also look at how religious people strive to live ethically.

This term’s key skills include: knowledge and understanding about the six major world religions; memorising and utilising subject terminology; using examples from religions to explain beliefs and practices; and analysing why believers hold varying beliefs.

How do believers show devotion? 

Regular assessments of subject matter and knowledge retention using Google Forms; formative assessment of analytical writing; summative end-of-module assessments for each study period - a combination of short-answer knowledge-based questions and analytical questions requiring longer, more detailed explanations.
