How might I organise a module of six Religious Education lessons based on cooking in the classroom?
A Religious Education module based on cooking in the classroom could be organised into a series of lessons which would be beneficial and meaningful to a class of children and their learning. In a module based on cooking, children will be able to prepare and taste different flavours, spices and foods which they might not get the chance to try outside of the R.E. classroom. Providing children with the opportunity to experience new things is a key part within successful R.E. teaching.
When considering cooking as a classroom activity, a great deal of cross-curricular links can be made with areas such as mathematics, religious education and cooking lessons can improve on a child's life skills. When preparing and making food, there tends to be an element of measuring; this has a clear link with maths concepts which children of all ages will be able to relate to (even children in foundation stage will experiment with filling cups/jugs up to a certain point in the water area.) Cooking different food will have a more obvious

This is because after completing the R.E. module at university, I have learnt a lot about Sikhism as a religion and find it incredibly interesting. For the second lesson, I would organise a trip to a local temple in order for people at the temple to speak to the children about their culture and beliefs. As I did on my visit to the temple, I would ask whether it would be possible to arrange a tasting session for them. I believe that after visiting a temple and hearing Sikhs talk about their views, children will be able to develop feelings of empathy and continue their understanding about the role which food has within religion. I am aware that a risk assessment would have to be carried out prior to the trip taking place in order to eliminate, reduce or minimise the possible risks
In the first chapter of Psychology in Christian Perspective by Harold W. Faw the author talks about psychology as a subject, the different aspects of the subject and how psychology fits into the Christian world. Faw begins the chapter by describing what others think psychology and his views on psychology as well. He describes that “psychology can be described as a systematic attempt to understand human behavior and conscious experience” (Faw, 1995, p. 12). He then goes on to describe the many different types of specialties of psychology which include, neurobiological, behavioral, cognitive, humanistic, and psychoanalytic. These specialties are then integrated into the Christian worldview. They are all different so they all fit into
After reading a few of the chapters in "Psychology Through the Eyes of Faith", I feel as if I have learned more in one sitting than many in years of my life. The chapters were not life altering, but simply stated things that I have overlooked. The topics that affected me most were on living with the mysteries of faith, benefits of true rest, and the emotion of happiness. Yes, they are really in no way related, but each of these topics impacted me in a different way, and made me think about what was being presented.
I decided to use the book ‘Hungry Planet: What the World Eats’ (Menzel and D'Aluisio, 2005) as a stimulus for my planning. The book includes pictures and information about different families and foods from around the world. As I wanted the plans to build upon the children’s enquiry based learning, I felt that ‘World foods’ would be an interesting topic for them to explore. Although food can be a sensitive topic, through my experience in various schools, I know that year 6 children will be able to build on their prior knowledge and understand values, beliefs and misconceptions. This topic will also develop their curiosity and support the children in making sense of the real world for themselves through tasks such as food tasting and a visit to the local allotment (Pickford, Garner and Jackson, 2013).
Children are not actually making food, and they do not have to make them so they can eat. They are doing it for fun, but if you are learning to cook when you actually need to eat it makes it more stressful. Finally, when children practice cooking it is for fun, and they are enjoying it. They are enjoying what they are doing. This will teach them that doing adult things, such as cooking, more enjoyable.

He saw the way his parents were cooking and developed a keen interest in cooking. During his childhood, Joshua spent lots of time in the kitchen, experimenting and making dishes. Joshua’s parents had a bit of an unorthodox way of nurturing their child. They always encouraged Joshua to explore new things and to try hobbies, but they understood Joshua’s passion for cooking. While neither of his parents worked in the food industry, they had many recipes that were passed down from generation to generation in the family.
Opinions have greatly differed in terms of psychology as to its role of religion in believers’ lives. Freud, the ‘father of psychoanalysis’ sees religion as a dangerous illusion, and the suppression of trauma resulting in a ‘universal neurosis’ that is, religion.
The salvific expression "being born again" is a multi-dimensional concept that involves both the internal (spiritual realm) and external (psyche) whereas Jung references personal (e.g. memories) and collective (spiritual matters) unconsciousness. Many Christians believe that being born again is a process of repenting from sin, a spiritual renewing of the mind, and accepting Jesus as Savior through His death, burial, and resurrection. An individual's psyche contains issues related to your personal experiences and perceptions, whether positive or negative. Emotions such as fear, hatred, guilt, shame and insecurity are a part of the psyche. In his book a Stable Conscience, Dr. Stallworth contends that there is a need for internal and external
This paper will discuss the major social institutions of family, religion and education and why each is important in society. Each of the social institutions in society can impact both economic and social levels and how the different perspectives provide insight on how the family, religion and education play an important key to social behaviors. Each social institution has a different effect on society and how individuals view each perspective. The information viewed in the videos will discuss how the social institutions of family, religion and education are addressed from the functionalist, conflict and interactionist perspectives. The findings in the videos will discuss which perspective each film uses to discuss each institution.
Children will be using different cooking materials and choosing varieties of ingredients to make their own vegetable salad.
One of the important elements in disseminating the divine message, and in teaching the basics of religion and for mirroring the beauty of faith and morality, is the translation of religious texts. It should be accurate and in accord with a sound belief. A translator must fully understand the original source text, then transfers it faithfully, and accurately into the receptor language without adding or omitting. The translation must be as natural as possible to reflect the tone and the style of the source texts, as if the translated texts were originally written to the receptor audience. The transfer of religious texts from one language to another involves, among other things, the scientific study of language, including
It is known that cooking helps you learn how to support yourself and take care of others like a family member who may be sick. Cooking makes you feel good about yourself because you feel like you’ve accomplished something at the end and that’s a really good feeling. It gives you a goal to reach and the reward (the food) is there once you’ve reached it. Once you are done cooking take time to look back at what you’ve done and appreciate yourself.
The article begins by pointing out that dietary habits are formed early in life and are influenced by a child’s family, culture, and experiences. (p.8) Early childhood educators play a big role in these habits and preferences because children spend the majority of their day in an early learning center. All children can benefit from a nutritionally purposeful environment that engages the children in preparing healthy snacks and incorporates healthy foods into their learning environments. But, the trick is to equip adults with the tools to create these environments. (p.8)
World Religions 110 has been such an amazing class to me. It will be hard to put into words how much I loved taking this class and learning about the different religions. Not only did we learn about religions, but also I feel we also learned about character, compassion, and actualization. Out of all the different topics to discuss, I feel the most important to me are: Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity.
Islam is often viewed as a religious tradition which originates from the seventh century. An important part of Islam is based on the prophet Muhammad, and the great revelations in which he received from God, according to the Quran. However, it is most important to realize that Muslims do not view Islam as a new religion. Muslims believe that Allah is the same God who revealed himself to Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. Therefore, Jews, Christians, and Muslims are all followers of the same living God. Muslims believe that the Quran is the final and complete revelation of God to all people. It is not easy for some people to accept the fact that God exists when there have been so many throughout history. You cannot also say if someone’s religion is right or wrong or the God they believe in is a “Supreme” god. Why Islam and not Christianity? Why Hinduism and not Judaism? Every one of them different and they vary from one another; they have different rules and are all passionate about their belief. But the fact still remains that there is one who is above all and he is God. God is Omnipresent, omnipotent, and Benevolent.
