STEPPING UP: AN ONLINE COURSE FOR STUDENTS BEGINNING A LEVEL RELIGIOUS STUDIES – www.candleconferences.com

Building on the success of “Masterclass”, our online essay-writing course for students of A Level Religious Studies, Candle Conferences will launch a unique an online transition-course for students preparing to start A Level Religious Studies in June 2022. Developed and presented by Charlotte Vardy, a highly experienced teacher of A Level Religious Studies, the course aims to introduce students to three “big questions” which underpin the whole A Level course and support students in developing the study skills they will need in a fun and challenging way. Units include…

1. Introducing A Level Religious Studies

2. What does it mean to say “God exists”?

3. Is murder always wrong?

4. What is Christianity?

5. Study Skills

6. Writing your first essay

The “stepping-up” course consists of six units, each comprising a series of short videos, each accompanied by a sequence of activities for students to complete. Students can work through the course at their own pace; each student will receive their own login details, which provide access to the videos through a secure page of our website from 1st June until the new academic year begins in September 2022, as well as a .pdf transition-pack to download and fill in.

● The filled-in transition-pack will demonstrate not only completion of the course, but comprehension and the level of effort students have put in to preparing for A Level… all useful information for teachers in September.

The course ends with recommendations for further reading and suitable enrichment and extension activities. No prior-knowledge will be assumed, so the course will be accessible whether or not students have taken GCSE Religious Studies.
