Expectations

At the end of this unit

most pupils: understand different types of conflict. They understand Christian and other religions' teachings on forgiveness and conflict. They recognise that forgiveness is not always easy and it may be necessary to compromise. They understand that not forgiving may result in further conflict. They know about the major religions' Holy Sites in Jerusalem or other areas of conflict. They describe how some religions share some beliefs and values and ask relevant questions about identity, tradition, conflict and peace. They discuss their opinions of conflict, forgiveness, compromise and reconciliation, and make an informed response.

some pupils have not made so much progress and: understand some aspects of conflict. They know about people and groups of people who work to resolve conflict. They recognise the struggle that some individuals, communities or religions experience in achieving reconciliation and forgiveness. They consider basic questions of respect in Jerusalem or other places of conflict.

some pupils have progressed further and: understand how simple conflict relates to global conflict. They critically evaluate the outcomes of continuing conflict or compromise and reconciliation in places like Jerusalem. They understand political situations, their religious dimensions and the difficulties in resolving them.
