Revision materials
R.E Curriculum Miss Coyle
All Saints Catholic College Be inspired. Be excellent. Succeed.
Exam Board = Edexcel Catholic Christianity Specification A Area of study 1 = Catholic Christianity Area of Study 2 = Study of Judaism Area of Study 3 = Philosophy and Ethics
New spec.
Catholic Christianity is what your child will study throughout Year 10.
There will be time for revision in class at the end of
the Year 10 course as well as during revision sessions afterschool throughout the year.
Unit 1 (Catholic Christianity)
Beliefs & Teachings.
Practices.
Wisdom & Authority.
Expression & Ways of Life.
How do you show you are a Catholic?
Why does a Church have certain features?
How was the world created?
Is there a life after death?
Who has authority in the Catholic
Church?
Unit 1 (Catholic Christianity)
Judaism will start to be taught towards the end of Year 10 and completed in Year 11
Pupils are taught in depth about Judaism including the
Beliefs and Teachings of Judaism and their practices. This is so pupils have the opportunity to explore the different values
and beliefs of different religions and are able to develop respect and understanding for others within society.
Again at the end of the year there will be some time in
lessons to revise key topics, especially those which students highlight as areas they need to focus on.
Unit 2 (Judaism)
What are the Jewish beliefs about God?
How and where do Jews worship?
Why is human life so special?
What festivals are celebrated?
What rules do Jews live by?
Beliefs & Teachings.
Practices.
Unit 2 (Judaism)
Philosophy and Ethics will be taught for the majority of Year 11.
Pupils are taught in depth about Philosophical ideas
about the Existence of God and the various arguments to support and deny Gods existence. This
is so pupils have the opportunity to explore the different philosophical and ethical responses to
moral issues that are present in our world today.
Unit 3 (Philosophy & Ethics)
Arguments for the Existence of God.
Religious teachings on Relationships and Families in the 21st Century.
Why is there evil and suffering in the
world?
What is the purpose of marriage?
Why do people believe in God?
Have I experienced a miracle?
Are all humans treated equally and
fairly?
Unit 3 (Philosophy & Ethics)
Teaching: so that you can understand your pupils who may come from many different backgrounds.
Social worker- so you can understand all the families and people that you will work with.
Business - if you work in the business world you may have to travel the world or work in city where you will meet people from many different faiths, RE will help you understand them and avoid offending people. If you get on with people you can do business and make money.
Air Steward/pilot – you will be travelling the world meeting people of different faiths and cultures. RE will help you get on with the people you meet.
Journalist- you may be asked to write about a religious story, lots of the news today is about religion or faith. You may write about a moral problem such as abortion which we discuss in RE. An RE GCSE shows you have good writing and research skills.
Army/ Navy/RAF- you will travel the world and need to understand the beliefs of the people you are meeting. Sadly many wars are about religion. RE can help you understand why you are being asked to fight.
Footballer- you may play abroad and meet people from different faiths or play with people who have a faith. RE will help you understand the people you meet or understand your new country.
Lawyer: your clients will come from many different backgrounds RE will help you understand them. For example why a Roman Catholic may not want a divorce.
Jobs that R.E support
There is no coursework element to the Religious Studies course, it is all down to three exams at the end of Year 11.
Every pupil will sit three exams for Religious Studies. One lasts
for 1hr 45minutes and the other two last for 50minutes each.
Catholic Christianity (1hr 45 minutes worth 50%) Judaism (50 minutes worth 25%)
Philosophy and Ethics (50 minutes worth 25%)
There are a range of question styles that will be used in the papers and it is important that pupils are comfortable
answering each of the styles.
Assessment
Period Six sessions after school. PLC’s (Personalised Learning Checklists).
Flash cards. Placing revision notes and posters around their
bedroom/house. Mind maps.
Twitter revision sessions with the RE department. Practise exam questions.
Keyword cards. Revision books are available and can be ordered from the
RE department. Revision booklets and mind maps that we have created.
