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 Buddhism and Christianity, 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.

• A full colour RE series aimed specifically at Scottish 5-14 levels D, E and F
• Practical materials and assistance to aid in teaching personal search elements of RE, including Introductory section of teacher guidance in each book
• Combines religions in each book to reflect the teaching approach and relative popularity of the subject matter
