Used as part of an Art and RME unit as well as in an Islamic unit. The pupils enjoyed making the vedic square patterns and learning a bit about the 5 pillars. You can take the finished patterns to make a bigger one, if you are going to do that then use cardboard.

I have updated this resource and removed some of the questioned that might offend, though my students have always enjoyed it. They often want to pick a different option and get annoyed that I only give them two choices. It is interesting to see how they try to justify their answer. I usually use this as an extension activity and as a way to practice reasoning skills and discussion skills. The students are encouraged to make a choice and give reasons for their view. I usually only do a few at a time. I want my classes to be able to learn how to listen to other points of view and make an argument for their own. Even though some of them are silly, they are still enhancing their skills.

Marks on the Landscape - Space for reflection

(0)
I use this mini unit with my S1 RME pupils. It looks at the different ways that humans create and use spaces for reflection. The lessons focus on Christian marks, Ancient marks and some created by modern artists. The pupils then have to create their own reflective space. I got a lot of models, a minecraft space and some great descriptive posters.
