Lesson video

Hi, I'm Miss Speakman.

We're on Lesson 7 of 14 of Crime and Punishment unit.

And in today's lesson, we're going to be taking a break from new content, looking at a recap on a practise lesson.

So, in our lesson today, we're going to have an opportunity to recap the learning in the first six lessons, and include some examination style questions and keys of concepts.

Now, it's really important for us to sort of think about why we do a recap on a practise lesson.

You learn a lot of content in the GCSC, and that's a lot of information to take in at once.

Even if your doing a lesson, you know, hour by hour.

There's still a lot of new content.

And it's really important for us to take a break, and to recap it and get it stocked into our heads.

We've got what we call a short term memory and a long term memory.

Our short term memory only deal with a couple of things at a time.

Whereas our long term memory is said to be infinite.

So the more things we can put into our long term memory, the better for us, the better we can remember these things.

And it's about building up this what we call Schemers.

Where you can build up your knowledge of certain topics and understandings of you know, religion, or anything really.

Anything you can build a schemer for.

But of course for us, we've been thinking about building up a schemer for your religious beliefs on Crime and Punishment.

So in this lesson, while we're doing some sort of recap questions, let's say examinations style questions, I'm not going to be specifically making an exam board focused.

They're going to be more sort of just the general ideas of how you answer an exam question.

Like for example, looking at explain questions.

Need to be in full sentences, including piece of scripture, et cetera.

Think about how it might start to think about a discussion question.

But I'm not going to make a specific reference to any exam boards, or about how many marks you would get.

Which is going to set you to practising the content.

So it's a really really good opportunity to revise and recap things off the first six lessons.

And it's a good point to do not just right at the end of a unit, but halfway through too.

Just because the more practise we can put in, the better.

Let's make sure we've got everything for our lesson oak before we get started.

So you'll need a pen or a pencil, a piece of paper , and a different coloured pen for corrections.

Also please make sure you've got a nice clear working space, a nice quiet space to work in.

TV music off, to minimise distractions.

Phone to one side if you're not using, to lessen notifications off as well so you will not be tempted to look.

If you need to get yourself sorted, then please pause the video now then unpause when you're ready to start learning.

Okay, so what we're going to start off with, uh multiple choice, quick five questions.

I love these types of questions, because they are really good way of assessing knowledge really quickly.

If you can answer it straight away, then you can be like, "Yeah, good I know that" If you struggle with it, then it highlights something you might need to go back to.

But it's also good way of testing your knowledge without committing something through paper.

I know at first, sometimes when you're learning a new material can be really hard trying to write something down.

Cause you're thinking, "I don't want to get it wrong, what if I am wrong?" This is a way of me testing you, which then means you can just say, "Okay, that's something to go back to.

And it's all right, I didn't write it down, so I didn't have to commit to anything, but I committed to it verbally." That's a good step, to write your stuff down afterwards.

So what I'm going to do, is there'll be questions, there will be two possible answers.

I will read out the question and the two possible answers, then I will count you down from three, after that, I'd expect you to say out loud or point to the screen which one you think is the correct answer.

I'd give the correct answer, then we move on to the next question.

It's pretty quick, got to keep yourself on your toes.

And then after that, we'll ram pop the challenge and do some more different types of questions.

So, are you ready? Let's go! Laws are created by the population of the UK, is that True or False? Three, two, one.

Good, it's false.

It's by members of parliament, the government.

If someone is arrested, this means they have definitely committed the crime.

Is that True or False? Three, two, one.

Good, that is false.

When someone's arrested, that is on suspicion of committing that crime, if not until they are charged, and then found guilty by a court.

When you can say that's really someone's definitely committed the crime.

And even then, just because they are charged, or sentenced to prison for it, it doesn't necessarily mean they are guilty.

And may have been found guilty, but they've still could be found later on to be innocent.

If you are charged with a crime, this means you are guilty.

Is that true or false? Three, two, one.

Good, that is false.

If you are charged with the crime, that just means that the police are formally charging you with that crime.

But then you would go to court, and that is then where the jury would find you guilty or not guilty.

If a person is charged with a crime, they are likely to go to court.

Is that true or false? Three, two, one.

Good, that is true.

If a person is charged with a crime, likely, specially if it's a serious crime that they will go to court.

A judge decides on a punishment after the jury has decided if someone is guilty.

Is that true or false? Three, two, one.

Good, that is true.

It is the judge who decides the punishment, not the jury.

You can be cautioned for a crime.

Is that true or false? Three, two, one.

Good, that is true.

So if you are not formally charged, you can be cautioned.

Through that you don't receive a punishment, but it stays on your record.

And if you commit a crime again, it can be used against you.

A life sentence in the UK means a criminal is literally in prison for the rest of their life.

Is that true or false? Three, two, one.

Good, that is false.

A life sentence mean, it does not mean that they will be there for the rest of their life.

For serious crimes, a minimum time in prison is set and after this time is served there is a possibility of release.

Is that true or false? Three, two, one.

Good, that is true.

So when someone serves their sentence, they won't necessarily be allowed to go free straight away.

There's a possibility of their release.

In the UK, the average life sentence is how many years? 15 or 20? Three, two, one.

Good, 15.

So the average life sentence is around 15 years in the UK.

A country's laws are the same as religious laws.

Is that true or false.

Three, two, one.

Good, that is false.

A country's law may have some over of religious laws, but it doesn't mean that they are the same.

So for example, both our country's law in the UK and religious law say that you should now steal, uh therefore there's some overlap.

But the religious laws may say, do not worship idols.

A country's laws of the UK does not have a law about worshipping idols.

Shari'ah law courts exist in the UK to deal with civil disputes.

Is that true or false? Three, two, one.

Good, that is true.

They can't deal with criminal disputes, but they can deal with civil disputes, such as wills, divorce, et cetera.

So what we're going to move onto now is some quick five questions with a couple more options.

Just to get a little more challenge in there.

I'll be ready.

Which key word is causing physical harm to someone as a punishment.

Is is Corporeal punishment, capital punishment, corporal punishment, government punishment.

Three, two, one.

Good, it's corporal punishment.

I put corporeal punishment in there because that is a spelling error, but is also something that we also look at in religion.

Corporeal experiences, like religious experiences.

Uh corporal punishment is causing physical harm.

Which keyword is punishing someone by killing them? The death penalty.

Is it corporeal, capital, corporal, government? Three, two, one.

Good, it's capital punishment.

Capital punishment is the death penalty.

Which keyword is punishing someone to put them off reoffending? Is it retribution, compensation, reformation, deterrence? Three, two, one.

Good, it is deterrence.

This is the idea of punishing someone to put them of reoffending, or putting other people off committing that crime.

Which keyword is wanting to change a criminal's behaviour for the better? Is it retribution, compensation, reformation, deterrence? Three, two, one.

Good, it is reformation.

What we're going to move onto now, is looking at some sort of longer questions.

I say longer questions, I'm going to sort of test you on asking to naming two things, or three things, just to ram pop that challenge a little bit.

So we're going to move on to those.

Well done if you got all of those correct, but also you did enough absolutely fine.

What we'll find is, this would be a good way of highlighting which bits we do know, which bits we don't know and need to go back to at a later date.

We're now going to move on to some slightly longer questions, that is still testing key knowledge.

So the first thing I'm going to do is to ask you to answer this question.

Spend about two minutes on this, I want you to name two reasons for crime.

So pause the video.

Two reasons for crime, unpause when you're ready please.

Okay, ready for some answers? I would accept any of the following.

Poverty, upbringing, hatred, grief, addiction, mental illness, opposition to unjust law.

These are the reasons for crime we have looked at in a previous lesson.

You can give yourself a tic if you got two of those, um a tic for each so you get two marks.

Um, if you are missing any or you didn't get any correct, can you please pause the video now, make some corrections, and we'll move on to the next question.

Okay, next question.

Again, you will need to answer the following question, spend about two minutes on this.

I want you to name two sources of Shari'ah law.

So two places where Shari'ah law comes from.

So pause the video, two sources of Shari'ah law.

Okay, ready for the answers? There re four options.

Qur'an, Sunnah or Hadith, Ijma which consensus, Qiyas which is reasoning.

If you got those correct, you can give yourself two tics.

If you're missing one, or you didn't get any answers for that question, then you can pause the video and make a correction.

It's okay if you didn't get them all correct or you're missing some, or you didn't didn't get or you weren't quite sure on the question, this is a way of recapping, this is what this lesson's for.

So pause the video, make corrections if you need to, unpause when you're ready for the next question.

Okay, next question.

Give two categories of human actions in Shari'ah law.

Again, spend about two minutes on this.

By this, I mean the different categories of whether an action is allowed or not, specific words that we use within Shari'ah law for that.

So two minutes, two categories of human actions in Shari'ah law.

Pause the video now please.

Okay, I think this one's a little bit harder.

Should we have a look at the answers? So, obligatory, recommended, permitted, disliked, forbidden.

Those are the categories of human actions within Shari'ah law.

If you got two of those correct, you can give yourself two tics, well done.

If you got one, still well done.

Because they are, that I think was a trickier question than the others.

If you didn't get any, that's absolutely fine.

Let's pause, make corrections, unpause when you're ready for the next question.

Okay, last question of this type.

I want you to name two categories of crime in Shari'ah law.

Well spend about two minutes on this.

We've looked up categories of crime within Shari'ah law, let's see if you can give me two examples.

So pause the video now, two categories of crime in Shari'ah law please.

Okay, have you got two? Let's have a look.

So, you should have got any two from the following.

Unforgivable, forgivable, community crimes, crimes against the state.

If you need to make any corrections, you can write them down in a moment.

But well done if you've got two of these, well done if you've got one of them too, cause that shows knowledge, that we can build.

So pause the video now, make corrections if you need to.

Okay, brilliant.

So those, I think a really good of way of then highlighting again, some of those errors that you might be a little bit unfamiliar with.

I chose a lot of these Shari'ah laws questions, because I know that for many people this is the part they might struggle with with crime and punishment.

But now we're going to move on to longer sort of explained questions.

But don't worry, because like, "No, longer questions, I can't deal with that!" You can deal with that, we can do it together, I'm going to give you loads of help.

I'm going to give you loads of guidance sentence starters, we've got a recap material as well beforehand, don't worry, we've got this.

Let's go, explain questions.

As I said, we're going to be looking at some longer answers now.

These are all explained questions.

See, the question is explain two religious attitudes towards law breakers.

So these explained questions need to be in full sentences.

You should make a point and explain it.

In this case I think we need to explain one Christian and one Muslim view on lawbreakers or people commit crimes.

You should think really carefully about the lessons on lawbreakers and types of crime.

What can you remember? There are four main views, there are two for Christianity, two for Islam.

What I'd like you to do is to pause the video for three minutes, write down some details you can remember in bullet point.

If you can't remember all of the views, or you think maybe you're not quite right, still write something down, still have a go.

We're going to go through it, we're all going to recap it before we have a go at this question.

So pause the video, three minutes, write down some details you can remember in bullet points.

Okay, so here are the bullet points.

So perhaps maybe you should have written it down, but if you didn't, it's absolutely fine.

You may have other ideas too.

But these are the ones that we're going to use for our um, exam question today.

So Christianity, the punishment should be as severe as the crime committed.

Or some Christians believe, we should hate the crime not the criminal and to help the criminal to reform.

But in Islam, the two main views are that the punishment should reflect that the crime is unacceptable.

Or the criminal should be helped not to offend again.

If you need to make any corrections, if you want to note these down, can you please pause the video now.

And then write them down, unpause when you're ready to move on.

So what I'm going to get you to do is to pause the video on the next slide to complete your task.

I'm going to give you a structure for this question.

So I'm going to give you some guidelines on how to write it, what you need to include.

Um, we've just recapped that material just now, so that would be really really helpful.

So here you can see I've got some sentence starters for you, so it should be about four sentences.

I've got one Christian view about lawbreakers is.

This is because.

One Islamic view about lawbreakers is.

And this is because.

Use these sentence starters, fill in some of that information that we have just discussed and written down.

Um, and then unpause the video when you are finished with your answer.

And then you are ready to go through a model answer.

Give it your best go.

I know it's a little bit tricky than some of the other questions we've, we've looked at so far.

But you'll be absolutely fine, give it your best, go.

If you can see this slide, Then I assume that you are ready for corrections.

Assuming that you are ready for me to go through a model answer.

Please have your different coloured pen out ready for corrections.

If you're not quite ready, you can rewind the video and then continue with the question, then come back to us when you're ready to go through the model answer.

Okay, so my model answer, it is not to be exactly the same as yours.

It's just me showing you what sort of things you could have written.

One Christian view about lawbreakers is that you should hate the crime, not the criminal, and help the criminal to reform.

This is because Jesus thought about love, forgiveness, and reconciliation, and forgiveness prevents further suffering.

One Islamic view about lawbreakers is that a criminal should be punished to reflect the seriousness of their crime.

This is because Allah has described certain punishments for certain crimes, and because these will deter others from committing that crime.

So like I said, if you need to make any corrections, please pause the video and do that.

Yours shouldn't have to be exactly like mine, but I'm trying to show you this sort of lengths you would need to answer these sorts of questions.

So, pause the video, make corrections if you need to, then we'll move on to a longer question talking about um, views on suffering.

So we're now going to do another explain question.

This time it says, explain two religious beliefs about suffering.

So explain questions again need to be in full sentences, make a point and explain it.

We're going to talk about in this question, Christian and Muslim views on suffering.

Let's think about carefully the lesson on crimes as a cause of suffering.

If you watched the video, think back onto that.

What can you remember? If you didn't see the video where I talked about this, then think about what you may have covered in your own lessons, or perhaps maybe we have covered this.

I think just really, think really carefully what do you know about Christianity and Islam already, and what do you think they might say about suffering.

I want you to pause the video for three minutes, and bullet point different Christian and Muslim views on suffering for me please.

Unpause when you are ready.

Okay, we'll start off with Christian attitude towards suffering then.

Now Christians believe they should help those who suffer.

It's a very hard responsibility to care for people who have um, been suffering.

Now, Christians would say that suffering is a large part of the early church.

In which, Christians were persecuted.

And so there is some idea of those who follow Christianity will probably have to suffer in some parts of their lives.

With this idea that there is sort of community who understands.

And Christians has also talked about the idea of the suffering of Jesus.

Therefore, Jesus knows and understands suffering that people go through.

And many Christians believe that good can come from suffering.

This idea of hope, endurance, perseverance.

This is a way of showing how resilient you are, et cetera.

So many Christians believe that good can come from suffering.

As well as of course, helping those who are suffering.

If you want to add any of these bullet points to what you've written, then you can pause the video now and do that for me please.

Okay, looking at Islamic attitude towards suffering.

Many Muslims believe that suffering may be a test from Allah.

So it's actually to see how well people can cope with that suffering.

Many Muslims believe that Allah would not put too much suffering on a person more than they can cope with.

Many Muslims also believe that other suffering may be caused by people giving in to temptation, from Iblis, who is a Jinn, the devil.

Many Muslims would say it's definitely wrong to blame Allah for the freewill of humans that cause suffering.

It's not Allah's fault that, um people have chosen to misuse their freewill.

Um, many Muslims believe that responsibility to care for the Ummah.

So therefore the brotherhood, the community, they should have a responsibility to care for people who are suffering.

Again, if you want to add any bullet points to what you've written down, from my list, then you can please pause the video now, and do so, and then we will start looking at a structure for this question.

Okay, so what you're going to do is pause the video on the next slide to complete your task.

I'm going to give you a structure, we're going to work with that' and you're going to complete your answer.

So don't worry, there would be lots of help.

So we've got here, I've got a structure.

I'd like you to use these, as sentence starters.

And I've given you a Bible verse that I'd like you to use in your answer.

So we're going to add a verse into this one, which is different from the question we did last time.

So one Christian view about suffering is.

I want you to finish that off, in the Bible it says, "Because we know that trouble produces endurance, endurance brings God's approval, and his approval creates hope" This means, you have to finish off with what this verse means in relation to suffering.

Then you've got a short paragraph, it says one Islamic view about suffering is.

And this is because.

So you need to give me a short one, you don't need to include a scripture verse for that one.

What I'd like you to do please is to pause video now, give this your best go, use your notes to help you.

And don't worry, we'll look at our model answers.

Even if you're not sure what you've got down is correct, we'll be able to check it.

If you can see this slide, I'm assuming you're ready, you are ready for corrections.

If you're not ready for corrections, then rewind the video, carry on with your question, and then come back to us when you are ready.

If not, let's have our coloured pens out ready for corrections.

So hopefully, we've got something similar.

Of course, because this is an answer of explaining, you don't have to have exactly the same as me.

It could be that you've written something different, and that's absolutely fine.

I just want to show you what it should look like in terms of length, and the detail you need to go into.

So I've got one Christian view about suffering is that, good can come from suffering.

In the Bible it says, "Because we know that trouble produces endurance, endurance brings God's approval, and his approval creates hope" This means, suffering builds character and brings hope.

Christians know Christ suffered, and are comforted that he understands their suffering.

One Islamic view about suffering is that suffering can be a test from Allah.

This is because Allah tests them to see what they can cope with.

They believe Allah would not give them more suffering than they can cope with.

If you need to make any corrections, you want to make additions to your answer based on this, then please pause the video now, and make this corrections.

Then after you unpause, we'll look at a longer question.

Just sort of discussion, evaluation question.

Well done for keeping up so far, really really impressed.

Well we're now going to do is do and evaluate discussion sort of question.

These are a really good way of practising what we've learned in terms of content.

But also getting in that really key skill of evaluating, discussing, of coming to a really good conclusion.

Making sure we've got a clear judgement , et cetera.

I've chosen this question, there are no good reasons to commit crime.

This will specifically be linking to our reasons for crime lesson.

So if perhaps maybe you have to think back on that, we did a question on it earlier about like, different reasons of crime.

Such as, mental illness, poverty, upbringing, et cetera.

So we're going to be discussing within Christianity and Islam, and normally just views, if there are any good reasons to commit crimes or not.

So we're going to discuss this sort of like discussions that go on in Christianity and Islam, and non religious views on that.

So there sorts of questions need you to explain reasons for and against a statement.

You need to use what you have learned.

And you will also need a conclusion, which will be which side do you think is the more convincing side of the argument and why.

I'm going to give you loads of help with this, loads of sort of structure help.

Um, giving you some sort of ideas on what to include.

Now I'll show you some model paragraphs as well, so I think hopefully would be really really helpful.

So, let's get started.

Oh, let me disappear.

So first thing is that you could bullet point as many reasons as you can think of to agree with the following statement.

There are no good reasons to commit crime.

So I want you to bullet point as many things as you can think of.

Whether it's Christianity, Islam, non religious views on "There are no goof reasons to commit crime." So pause the video now please, make as many bullet points as you can.

Okay, I'm just going to appear.

There we go.

So um, I've got a couple of things here.

You might have had other things too, it's absolutely fine if you've got different to what I've got here.

But you might want to add these to your own list.

So, I've got Christianity, generally would be against people breaking the laws, as the law is there to protect citizens.

They would agree there are no good reasons to commit crime, because you should be following the law.

Then in Christianity, crimes because of hatred and greed will never be justified.

There's no good reasons to commit those, those sorts of crimes.

We got love your neighbour as yourself, which talks about loving everyone with love, treat them really equally.

It's much harder for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God than for a camel to go through the eye of the needle.

It's also talking about how you should never commit a crime out of greed.

There's no good reason for greed.

In Islam, we could say that Muslims might agree.

Because the uh, the idea of Shari'ah coming from Allah so can never be unjust.

So there's no good reason as to why Shari'ah law should ever be broken.

And that in Islam, generally would be, people would be against people breaking the law in non Shari'ah countries.

Because the idea that uh, you should be following the laws of that country.

If you need to add anything to your list, if you've got anything else, that's absolutely fine.

There are loads of other things we could say, if you want to add some of these things to your list, then please pause video now, and we'll think about those people who might disagree with this statement.

Okay, I'm going to disappear so you can look at disagree.

So, I want you to bullet point now many reasons as you can think of to disagree with the statement, there are no good reasons to commit crimes.

So can you please pause the video now, and bullet point as many reasons as you can think of to disagree with the following statement.

Then unpause when you are ready.

Okay, so now I'm going to pop up on the screen.

Where am I? There we go.

So um, for the idea of disagreeing.

Oh, again you might have had other things other than this, but these are sort of things that cropped up in my mind.

In Christianity, God would not see it as stealing for a person in such poverty to take something.

In both Christianity and Islam, if a person is no longer in control of their actions because of a mental illness, which means they can't understand the law.

Then that person might not be guilty of committing a crime when they break the law.

And that in both Christianity and Islam, they may allow um, you to commit a crime if it's an opposition to an unjust law.

So the example of Martin Luther King, uh in America, where he was willing to stand up against laws which where it seems, unjust.

So again, if you need to make any corrections, or if you want to add anything to your list of things, please pause the video now.

And then afterwards, we'll get started with trying to write this now out into an answer.

Okay, again I'm going to disappear and I'm going to give you structure to help you use for your answer.

I've got a structure key for you, there are no good reasons to commit crime.

So the first sort of big paragraph would be about agreeing, the second will be about disagreeing, and then the last paragraph will be about writing in conclusion.

So we've got some Christians and Muslims may think there are no good reasons for crime, because.

For example, in the Bible or Quran.

This is strong or weak because.

Some Christians and Muslims may think that there are some good reasons for crime, such as.

For example in the Bible or the Quran.

If you've got any Bible or Quran verses to use, you can use that, or you can use examples as well.

This is a strong or weak argument because.

And then your conclusion would be, in conclusion, I think or in conclusion the strongest argument is.

This is because.

You need to give reasons for that.

Once you use this structure, and use your table of bullet points.

Answers um, with agree and disagree views, and use that, you don't have to use all of them, I would actually suggest you don't use all of those bullet points.

Choose a couple of them, write out an answer.

This probably should take you about 15 to 20 minutes, so don't worry if you feel like it's taking you a long time.

These sorts of questions do require a lot of thought, a lot of time, and a lot of hard work.

So I'm sure you can do it.

Really looking forward to meeting back up with you in a moment, to discuss what a model paragraph might look like.

So pause now, unpause when you are ready.

Okay, so here is my model paragraph.

This is just like one sort of, couple of paragraphs you might use.

This also isn't a full answer, but it does give you an idea to sort of the level detail you might want to be going into.

So I've got, some Christians may think there are no good reasons for crime because Christians would generally be against people breaking the law, as laws are there to protect society.

And crimes such as crimes committed because of greed can never be justified.

For example in the Bible it says, "It is much harder for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle" This is weak, because there may be some- There may be many instances where it protects society to break the law, such as if someone is living in poverty.

Muslims may agree and say there is no good reasons to commit a crime, especially in countries that follow Shari'ah law.

This is because Shari'ah comes from Allah who does not make mistakes and therefore Shari'ah can never be unjust.

This is strong, because Shari'ah does take into account if someone commits crime because they are in poverty for example.

As you can there, I've got sort of two, sort of model paragraph.

Where you need to like be, at that level of detail.

You'll see one of them, I have used a scripture verse, one of them I have talked about.

So the idea of facts within Islam.

Which is both absolutely fine.

Obviously, I won't be able to mark your answer, which is a shame because I really really love reading student answers.

But feel free to pass this on to your teacher, to see whether they would, would like to mark your work for you.

Which I'm sure, they would absolutely be happy to do.

Oh, we going to have to wait for me to pop up again.

Where am I? There we are.

Okay, I want to say a huge, huge thank you.

I think the recap and practise lesson is so important.

It's often that when people find a little bit difficult, because it means bringing together loads of different material.

And then actually writing quite a bit, um, and but I think it's so so useful.

I really hope it's been helpful for you today to recap things.

To look at, look at what this might look like a practise and using an exam question.

And also how having to look at a model answer.

I also want to say, I spoke to Wilbur earlier, Wilbur's there behind you, and he said he was listening in, he can see the work you're doing, he's super impressed.

So if Wilbur's happy, I'm happy.

So thank you so so much for working so hard in today's lesson.

As I said, if you've written exam questions, answers to these questions, please do pass them on to your teacher, they will be able to mark them for you.

Or to at least see the work that you've been doing, because you definitely deserve a huge pat on the back today.

So thank you very much, see you later.
