ASSESS YOUR CURRENT LEVEL TOPIC AREA 1 – ‘SOURCES OF MORAL AUTHORITY’ TOPIC AREA 2 – MORAL LIVINGTOPIC AREA 3 – GENETIC ENGINEERING I know what the phrase ‘sources of moral authority’ means. I can use a range of different Christian teachings to explain Christian moral duties and responsibilities: -The Golden Rule -The Parable of the Sheep and the Goats -Am I my brother’s keeper? I know what genetic engineering is and can give examples of different types. I can explain why some Christians use the Bible as a basis for making moral decisions. I can explain why some Christians use the guidance of the Church as a basis for making moral decisions. I can explain why genetic engineering is a moral issue. I can explain the role of conscience as a guide to moral decision marking. I can explain and give examples of what human rights are. I can explain the different attitudes Christians could take to genetic engineering and give detailed reasons for them. I can explain what Situation Ethics is and why some Christians use it as a guide for moral decision making. I can explain why human rights are important for Christians. I can evaluate the different sources of moral authority, giving reasons for and against using each and a justified personal opinion. I can explain what democratic and electoral processes are and why it is important to take part in them. I can justify my personal attitude towards genetic engineering – if I believe it is a positive or negative thing with detailed reasons. 2. TARGET YOUR WEAKNESSES -Choose the topic area that you are currently the least confident in, use it as your focus for a concentrated section of revision. Later on you will be completing a practise question about this area without your notes. Strategies you can use to help you revise -Create a detailed key-point tool -Complete the practise questions from the textbook -Make key bullet-points for each of the key sections from the topic guide. -Work with a partner to create a revision test. -Map out how many links and connections you can make from the areas of this topic to things you know already/other areas of the GCSE RE course. -Find 3 quotes from the Bible you can use to include and deepen your explanations. Resources to help you revise -Your workbook -The textbook -Revision resources supplied by your teacher -Checking things through with your teacher -Checking with a partner.

Explain how the Bible helps Christians carry out their moral duties. Explain the different attitudes Christians can have towards genetic engineering. D“Conscience is the voice of God”“Religion and politics should be kept separate.” “Genetic engineering is not a part of God’s plan for humans”. 3. ASSESS YOUR PROGRESS 4.
