Summary: The Personal Search series from Hodder Gibson offers pupils - and teachers - the chance to explore the discovery and development of beliefs across a variety of religions. Based on responses to national reports that pinpointed difficulties in teaching personal search elements of religious education, the series aims to provide practical materials that will assist pupils in their own personal searches, as well as helping them to make connections between their own searches and those of other world religions. Within Hinduism and Judaism, the beliefs, values, festivals and forms of worship will be introduced within a number of narrative contexts. Activities in listening, talking and writing are included. This book also contains a teacher introduction that gives practical advice on implementing appropriate learning, teaching and assessment strategies, especially in relation to personal search.
