Weekly Learning Plan
Subject	Islamic Religious Studies	Week	11
Duration	60 minutes	Form	SHS 1
Strand	Religious Beliefs, Practices, Moral Values and Human Development	Sub-Strand	Major Beliefs of Islam
Learning Outcome(s)	1.2.1.LO.1 - Explain the key ideas related to belief in allah and his attributes.
Learning Indicator(s)	1.2.1.LI.2 - Belief in Allah and His attributes
Lesson Focus	Belief in Allah and His attributes
Previous Knowledge	Learners recall the immediately preceding knowledge/skill needed to engage with Belief in Allah and His attributes; the starter diagnoses this rather than assuming mastery.
Lesson Objective(s)	Identify or explain the key subject idea/procedure in Belief in Allah and His attributes. Complete the concrete guided/practical task for Belief in Allah and His attributes accurately. Apply Belief in Allah and His attributes independently to a new case, data set, text, material or performance situation.
Essential Question(s)	What evidence or procedure is needed to work accurately with Belief in Allah and His attributes? What would a strong practical/application response to Belief in Allah and His attributes look like? How would changing the context, data or constraints affect a decision about Belief in Allah and His attributes?
Pedagogical Strategies	Diagnostic questioning Experiential/problem-based learning Collaborative analysis Guided modelling Independent application Peer/self assessment
Teaching & Learning Resources	Selected Qur’an/Hadith references Concept-map sheet Ethical scenario cards School/community stewardship data
Key Notes on Differentiation
Content	Provide a partially completed example, labelled materials or vocabulary support for learners who need scaffolding in Belief in Allah and His attributes. Extend the task by adding a new constraint, less familiar case or requirement to compare alternatives in Belief in Allah and His attributes.
Process	Use mixed-ability pairs for the first application, then require an individual transfer task. Allow oral/visual demonstration where appropriate while retaining the same subject accuracy criteria.
Product	Use a checklist/rubric tied to the concrete output for this week rather than participation alone. For advanced work, require justification with evidence, calculations, source reference or quality criteria.
Success Criteria	The learner uses correct subject terminology and evidence. The learner completes the week’s concrete product/calculation/performance with acceptable accuracy. The learner explains why the procedure/choice fits the stated context rather than giving a memorised general answer.
Homework	Write a short case response on Belief in Allah and His attributes: identify the issue, state one relevant Islamic principle and propose a practical action with justification.

Lesson Activities
Stage	Teacher Activity	Learner Activity	Assessment / DoK
Starter10 minutes	Present a short, respectful case or selected Qur’an/Hadith reference connected to Belief in Allah and His attributes; ask learners what question the case raises for belief and conduct.	Inspect the prompt/materials, record an initial response about Belief in Allah and His attributes, and justify it briefly.	Not provided.
Activity 115 minutes	Guide close reading/analysis of selected Qur’an/Hadith references and curriculum concepts for Belief in Allah and His attributes; avoid relying on unsupported opinion or long quotation.	Locate selected Qur’an/Hadith references supplied by the teacher and extract the attribute/responsibility each reference illustrates.	Check accurate identification of the relevant belief/value/source and respectful use of terminology.
Activity 220 minutes	Learners apply Belief in Allah and His attributes to a realistic ethical, historical, community or development case and support their reasoning with relevant Islamic principles.	Build a concept map linking beliefs about God/Allah, creation and human responsibility to concrete choices about work, dignity, environment or relationships.	Assess reasoning, relevance of the faith principle, awareness of consequences and respect for diversity.
Activity 310 minutes	Each learner gives an individual reasoned response to a new case or source question on Belief in Allah and His attributes.	Analyse an ethical scenario and write a response grounded in one relevant Islamic principle, distinguishing belief from the practical action it implies.	Check whether the response applies rather than merely repeats a belief statement.

Lesson Closure

Ask learners to distinguish one belief/principle learned in Belief in Allah and His attributes from the concrete behaviour it should influence. Complete a one-minute exit response using a concrete example from the lesson on Belief in Allah and His attributes.
