About the Bible... now uploaded.
For a couple of years I have been using a really
helpful interview that explains some basic (but very
important) stuff about the Bible. Finally the world
of technology has caught up and it is happily sitting
online for you to enjoy. You will need the password
to watch (just get in touch to find out).

It is usually found sitting on the Bible page of the Christianity section.
As ever, any feedback or thoughts on the material covered are warmly welcomed.

Finally - the Nature of Belief DVD is finished.
After quite a lot of work (sorry Mrs Rama - I remember who you are, honest!), the DVD interview with Ross Ciano is now completed. The audio is up on the podcast page if you are interested in a cut-down audio-only version. Best to wait for the DVD in class. Many thanks to all concerned who helped me get this done - not least the Year 7 boys.
The 'BIG CHECKLIST'...
Here is the 'BIG CHECKLIST' - a downloadable document
for you to look at and tick off everything you think
has been covered in each of the units. It is a useful
way of asking yourself 'Mmmm has my teacher
really been earning their
mortgage/skateboarding/gadget-getting/charity-donating
money?'
Be nice if you do spot any gaps - asking is always preferable to ninja-attacks in corridors. And anyway - I have 'oo-na-gee' so don't try anything.
The original link is on the revision section of the GCSE page.

A chat with the chief examiners about the GCSE!
This is a real scoop people! I managed to get some time with the two key figures in how the GCSE is devised, marked and run. In this podcast episode I ask them about good and bad responses to exam questions and whether examining people they live under the ground...

Exam feedback - Good and Evil
a. Explain Christian beliefs about why there is evil in the world. (8 marks)
- Adam and Eve, original sin/a virus out in the open on all of our world, the devil - personal/other, psychological damage
- explain your ideas clearly. No opinions needed.
b. Explain how a Christian might find out the right way to behave. (7 marks)
- not enough to say 'read the Bible'... what is in it? Sermon on the Mount?
- just saying 10 commandments isn't adequate - how do they try to obey? Is there anything you can say about how in reality this sort of thing works... what are their motives? Sister Anne Brittain? Jesus? Sermon on the Mount?
- home influences, church community? church leaders?
- give us a sense of what the reality is like for people who really do believe and follow this... waffle and blagging are easy to spot
c. ‘Being happy is more important than being good.’ Do you agree? Give reasons to support your answer, and show that you have thought about different points of view. You must refer to Christianity in your answer. (5 marks)
- which is more important? Good or happy? Can you have both? What if you had to choose?
- what do Christians think? Any specific examples you could use? What about Jesus? Joseph? Sermon on the mount?
- examples and specifics are the key... give us grounds for a decent higher grade by showing you know...
- have you included all the ingredients?
- concluded a clear perspective?
