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.
