7 Xylophonics speak...

wiyw podcast 15 - 8thOct08

7 Xylophonics hurt my ears with chaotic worldview ramblings. Actually it was pretty interesting as we discussed the influence of violent games and sarcastic soaps.

Meeting the Imam

Fantastic! Daniel Kassim and Jacob Osborne made a short film about meeting a mosque leader last year and I only got to see it on Friday last. Such a brilliant piece of work.

You will need the usual password to watch it (so just get in touch if you can’t remember).

In case you got lost... the life of Jesus workbook

You can download this workbook from the Christianity page if you lose any of your sheets.

Warning: some of the studies aren't easy and might need some teacher help - but hey, what am I paid for?
|

Lots of updated material.

Sorry it's been so long since I have updated the site. You may not notice it yet, but there is much more multimedia material on the site now due to using youtube embedding. Here is a recent example of what is to come - thanks to Billy, Theresa, Ed, Florian and Dan for the help.



I have also uploaded all of the revision materials for the various taught GCSE units. You can find these on the GCSE specific page.

The Ten Commandments Podcasts...

Here we have it - the ten commandments have been covered with year 7 and these podcasts give you a good idea of what has been said by the groups. The original links are found within the 'School Podcasts' section on the podcast page.

The Ten Commandments!

Your homework is to produce a diagram that demonstrates what the ten commandments are. You can base it on the stuff in class or do something totally different... all the best!
|

The Joseph ending... what did you learn?

So then, we are at the end of the Genesis storyline and have seen the amazing ending where Joseph forgives his brothers for their horrible behaviour. One of the brilliant things about the story is how it demonstrates the way in which God works so positively to use bad times to bring good.

Your homework is to write what you have learned from this.
|

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.

The day it all got messed up... the fall of mankind.

The homework is to put in the remaining images from this page, and to read the original text from Genesis chapter 3.

Made in God's Image.

ZZ67B5BCB4
According to the end of Genesis chapter 1, the human race has something in common with God. We appear to be like Him - three ways I described in class were:

- being moral (having a sense of right and wrong)
- being creative (making things, art, music, which pencil case to buy, style of sport you play etc)
- relationships (love, kindness, showing mercy etc)

Your homework is to write down some good examples of these and bring them to class for a nice old chat about it.
|

The Creation Story

Now you have had a good introduction to the creation story using these simple images, have a read of the actual text and work out what is different/better.

Worldview presentation work... time is virtually up people!

Okay then people, this week is really the last opportunity for you. My apologies for those of you who haven't had much help so far due to lots of people needing assistance! This week we shall either sort you out in class or I will arrange sometime out of class to get you the help you need. Either way, this is very exciting and the work looks amazing!

And don't forget about the jelly babies.

Worldviews Presentations...

Can you show us 4 things?

That -
a. you have a good grasp of what a worldview is...
b. you know how to uncover a worldview
c. you can explain the different kinds of worldviews out there?
d. you know about your own current one

The next two weeks are really about proving that you know these things using one (or several) of the following:

- podcast discussion
- artwork
- drama/voiceover/weird video
- written piece
- review of a film/book

It is very important that you get help or get on!

2. To do some interviews with up to 3 people using the four questions.
3. Put yourself and the people you interviewed on to the map.

Worldviews Introduction Homework

You guessed it folks, the first serious homework of the term is to write about what experiences you have had with religion.

Try to explain what you think of religion as well.

Are there any other views of religion that you might want to include? Perhaps you could chat to some family or friends about their views.
