This 6 lesson scheme of work for KS3, ideally year 7, gives pupils an introduction to the early Islamic world. The lesson focuses specifically on the growth of civilisation, covering areas such as trade, medicine, and warfare. This unit explores the historical significance of the Islamic Empire(s) and help pupils see parallels between different societies within this period (medieval England). The unit has a creative activity to be assessed at the end and has one homework incorporated.

This is a unit of work I made for yr5/6. It covers how Islam started, where this period fits into history, the countries that formed the Islamic Empire, inventions and ideas that came from the Golden Age, what made it successful, the Silk Road (trading), the city of Baghdad, comparisons between Baghdad and Britain, Islamic artwork, designing and making an Islamic house. English lessons are also link in by writing a postcard home and making a persuasive leaflet promoting the city of Baghdad and the accommodation (the Islamic house that they make). Lessons have SMART NOTEBOOK presentations and differentiated resources.

This was designed for learners attaining below the national average as a means of helping them to develop revision skills.

Islam Assembly or Class Play Cast of 30 - easily adapted up or down Duration - around 10 minutes reading time, not including music at beginning and end This assembly on the Islamic faith tells the story of Muhammed and gives a brief outline of Islamic beliefs. It is delivered by a Narrator plus speakers numbered 1 - 29. This script would be a useful supplement to the Baghdad: Early Islamic Civilisation script - as a description of Islam as a religion - with accompanying message of peace and respect for all learning. Sample Text: Narrator: Good morning and welcome to our assembly on Islam. Let’s start with what Islam means. Child 1: Islam is the Arabic word for submission. Narrator: I’m guessing, submission to a god? Child 2: One god – Allah! Narrator: And the origins of this religion? Child 3: The religion started AD 610 when Muhammed heard the word of God through the Arch Angel Gabriel. Narrator: And where was this? (Child 3 holds up map of the world) Child 4: (Pointing to Saudi Arabia) Here, in Saudi Arabia, in the city of Mecca. Narrator: And this Muhammed – tell us a bit about him. Child 5: He was born AD 570, at Mecca. Child 6: His family were very poor and he was orphaned at an early age. Child 7: However, he became rich as a caravan leader Narrator: (Looking puzzled) Why would you need to lead a caravan? Don’t you just pull them behind your car? Child 8: No, not that kind of caravan. These were camels, led across the trade routes, carrying goods to be sold at market. Narrator: Aha! Camel caravans! Now I get you! Back to Muhammed! Also available from Sue Russell: An assembly on the Baghdad Early Islamic Civilisation & Baghdad Early Islamic Civilisation Guided Reading Scripts: 5 scripts, 6 speakers each, plus quiz for each script. Approximately 5 minutes reading time for each (not including the quiz) 1. When? 2. Where? 3. The Story of Muhammed 4. Beliefs of Islam 5. World Religions

AQA GCSE 9-1 Britain: Health and the People, c.1000 to present If Islamic medicine was so good, why did many of its ideas fail to spread to Christian Europe and Britain? What skills did Islamic surgeons have to make them specialists in particular areas How did Islam promote medicine to become so advanced in the first place? These questions are analysed and answered through the lesson as students decide which Islamic doctor deserves which podium finish for being the most effective. Furthermore students tackle a GCSE practice question on similarities with Christian medicine in Britain with a student friendly markscheme to help peer or self assess their work. The lesson is enquiry based with a key question using a lightbulb posed at the start of the lesson and revisited at the end to show the progress of learning. The resource comes in Powerpoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change. I have also included suggested teaching strategies to deliver the lesson and there are differentiated materials included.
