Outcomes |
|
Children: |
- Discuss pupils' prior knowledge of Islam today and the life and teachings of the Prophet Muhammad
.
- Ask pupils to explain in their own words the meaning of the word
Islam and the significance for Muslims of the Qur'an, the Hadith and the Five Pillars of Islam.
|
|
- explain some of the central features of Islam as a religion, making accurate use of technical terms
|
|
Points to note |
- Depending on their background and prior work in RE, many pupils may have a substantial body of prior knowledge.
- It would be helpful to cross-refer to the RE schemes of work.
- ICT: at appropriate intervals throughout the unit encourage the pupils to add the events and individuals of the Islamic world to the existing computer timeline,
eg especially when studying the Crusades. The Moslem calendar and appropriate labelling of 'periods' of Islamic history can be discussed so that pupils develop understanding of the relative nature of labels used in chronology. This could also link with previous units.
