  • Good and Bad, Right and Wrong: How Do We Decide? Buddhists, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Atheists 13-14 Year Olds
    Sandwell SACRE / RE Today © 2019 Unit 3.12 Year 8 or 9 Good and bad, right and wrong: How do we decide? Buddhists, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Atheists 13-14 Year Olds Sandwell SACRE, 2019 1 Sandwell SACRE / RE Today © 2019 What is good and right? What is wrong and evil? Buddhists, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Atheists Age Group: 13-14 About this unit: This non-statutory unit is offered to teachers as an exemplar for guidance in planning and delivering RE for 13-14s using the Agreed Syllabus. The unit explores questions such as ‘how do we know what is good and evil or right and wrong?’ and ‘Does religion do any good?’ ‘How do Muslims, Sikhs, Buddhists, Atheists and Christians decide what is right and wrong? The unit is about the theme of goodness and evil, and examines issues about right and wrong, religious and other kinds of authority and the values and commitments by which each person chooses to live. It can be taught alongside PSHE / Citizenship or enrichment and general studies programmes with mutual concerns – though it is important for RE objectives to be carefully planned and realised if this is attempted. The investigation sets challenging standards for students: the higher order thinking the unit requires would not be out of place for gifted and talented students. Some elements of this enquiry could be fully integrated with GCSE RS (which many schools teach from Year 9). As well as being a legal requirement, it is important that schools plan quality in RE for all pupils. This unit is a model for such planning.
