This resource file by internationally acclaimed author Sue Phillips provides an exciting practical approach to the teaching of RE.
Successive annual reports for RE state that many pupils receive mechanistic and undemanding activities. As a consequence pupils have difficulty in describing accurately the main features of different faiths and understanding how religious faith can affect the lives of believers. They have little knowledge of religions and have poor analytical and evaluative skills.
This Resource File provides a complete classroom solution enabling teachers to use experiential, enactive and multi-sensory techniques to develop pupils' own spirituality and emotional literacy. Teachers will help pupils to empathise with believers, understand abstract concepts and ultimate questions, and produce high quality written work.
It is an introduction to the Theatre of Learning, enabling teachers to understand how to use five techniques to engage, motivate and instruct their students. The techniques are comprehensively discussed, illustrated by photographs, an 'in action' video and examples of students' work.
Future e-learning credit-eligible resources using the techniques described in this file will cover Christianity Judaism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Islam and Philosophical issues and abstract concepts. A sample lesson recipe on Christianity appears in this resource file, which contains everything a teacher needs to deliver a multi-sensory experiential lesson, including suggestions for music, vocabulary lists for flashcards, writing frames and differentiated tasks for pupils, which support the literacy strategy.

Praise for the Theatre of Learning:
'The aims of the book were comprehensively met. The book itself is very interesting and inspiring for any RE teacher. It is motivating, but also reassuring. One of its strengths is that it is not idealistic. The theory is innovative but set in the real world. The author finds solutions to problems that arise and predicts the problems that the reader will be concerned about.'
Lisa Hickman, Head of RE, PSHE and Citizenship,

The theatre of learning course was a fantastic experience - giving inspiration to my teaching - can't wait to get back to try."
