This week in RME our S2 have been completing a research project using the ExPLORE method. This involves pupils using their research skills to:
- Plan
- Locate
- Organise
- Represent and
- Evaluate
information which they have found in books and on websites.
Learners represent their findings by writing an information booklet on a world religion, which includes descriptions of key beliefs and practices, as well as a personal reflection and a bibliography. Learners have the opportunity to do further research at fourth level which involves explaining the impact of that religion in society.
As well as learning more information about a world religion, this project seeks to enhance pupils’ literacy, numeracy and digital skills, to prepare them for future learning and the workplace.
