Editable Scheme of Work for GCSE Linear Unit 1, Section 3



Practical support to help you deliver this Edexcel specification as a linear course

Following the announcement that from September 2012 GCSE specifications will move to linear assessment, this scheme of work has been adapted to help you implement the Edexcel GCSE Religious Studies Short Course or Full Course specification in a linear way. It can be used to deliver the teaching models presented in the Course Planner, but is not intended to be prescriptive and is provided in editable Word format to make adaptation as easy as possible.

Other course planning support

Course Planner

In addition to this revised Scheme of Work, we have produced an updated course planner that offers examples of possible models that you should feel free to adapt to meet your needs.

SPaG Guide

Following the announcement that SPaG would be introduced into the assessment of GCSE Religious Studies qualifications, we have produced a guide to show how these have been implemented in the Edexcel specification.

Other Edexcel teaching resources

Pearson produces a range of Edexcel resources for this specification, including:

• Student books — full colour textbooks for each examined unit of the specification, plus student books for six of the 12 Controlled Assessment topics.

• Teacher Guides – lesson plans and activity worksheets in print format and as editable files.

• ActiveTeach — digital teaching resources on an easy-to-use CD ROM.

• Exam Wizard — instant access to banks of GCSE questions from past papers.

Textbooks have also been produced by Hodder Education to support this specification
