Muslims and Purity
We have been watching the helpful interview with Samira (go here for the audio-only version). This has brought up some very interesting discussions on why she chose to wear the Hijab at age 18, and whether there is anything for us to learn about our own western-influenced society.
Homework: to look up the term 'Hijab' - you can use the links on this page.
Don't forget that this homework is about you researching something interesting and not simply finding a quick definition! Bring the class something that will get you an outstanding mark.

The Adventures of Abraham
We are looking at the adventures of the Bible hero
Abraham - a character of massive importance to Jewish
and Christian people. The homework is to find
out how Abraham is important to the Jewish
people. Have a look at the Judaism page where there are
some website links for you to use.
If you don't fancy clicking your mouse two times, you can use the following web pages to guide you.
Judaism 101 has lots of helpful starting points for investigation. Don't forget that you can use the side menu to look up keywords or topics.
The BBC Worldservice Guide is very clear.

Independent Learning
Independent learning is when you don't wait about for
the teacher to put the bib on and spoon feed you. I
will be encouraging all year 9s and 10s to adopt the
practice of self-help so that you can get further in
the short time available.
