InspiRE is the first Key Stage 3 course that lets you teach RE both thematically, and/or, by religion, giving you the flexibility to deliver lessons however you want. InspiRE comprises two parallel sets of books: Religions to Inspire, seven 'by religion' books that exemplify the themes and expands them from the points of view of the major religions of Great Britain; and Themes to Inspire, three books, one for each year of KS3, that cover the National Curriculum programme of study through an exploration of thematic issues and concepts. The flexibility and customisation that this approach offers teachers and syllabus designers is unique. Religions to Inspire: Islam explores Islam today, looking at questions and issues such as: 'Why do Muslims go to Makkah? 'Are all Muslims the same?' and 'What is Islamophobia and extremism?' Key features: - Engaging pupil-centred activities incorporate assessment for learning (AFL) and personal learning and thinking skills (PLTS), providing complete and comprehensive coverage of the programme of study for religious education. - Clear differentiation with levelled activities referenced against the eight-level scale. These allow pupils to work at their level and understand see what they have to do to progress, along with extension activities to challenge more able pupils. - The 'Big Assignment' at the end of each section, providing teachers with formative assessment opportunities. - Guidance and support for teachers can be found in the Teacher's Resource Book to help you plan, teach and assess learning.
