Weekly Learning Plan
Subject	Islamic Religious Studies	Week	13
Duration	60 minutes	Form	SHS 1
Strand	Religion and Contemporary Issues	Sub-Strand	Islam and the Environment
Learning Outcome(s)	1.4.1.LO.1 - Explain the key ideas related to islamic responses to environmental degradation.
Learning Indicator(s)	1.4.1.LI.4 - Islamic responses to environmental degradation
Lesson Focus	Islamic responses to environmental degradation
Previous Knowledge	Learners recall the immediately preceding knowledge/skill needed to engage with Islamic responses to environmental degradation; the starter diagnoses this rather than assuming mastery.
Lesson Objective(s)	Identify or explain the key subject idea/procedure in Islamic responses to environmental degradation. Complete the concrete guided/practical task for Islamic responses to environmental degradation accurately. Apply Islamic responses to environmental degradation 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 Islamic responses to environmental degradation? What would a strong practical/application response to Islamic responses to environmental degradation look like? How would changing the context, data or constraints affect a decision about Islamic responses to environmental degradation?
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 School environmental audit sheet Problem-ranking matrix Project plan
Key Notes on Differentiation
Content	Provide a partially completed example, labelled materials or vocabulary support for learners who need scaffolding in Islamic responses to environmental degradation. Extend the task by adding a new constraint, less familiar case or requirement to compare alternatives in Islamic responses to environmental degradation.
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 Islamic responses to environmental degradation: 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 Islamic responses to environmental degradation; ask learners what question the case raises for belief and conduct.	Inspect the prompt/materials, record an initial response about Islamic responses to environmental degradation, and justify it briefly.	Not provided.
Activity 115 minutes	Guide close reading/analysis of selected Qur’an/Hadith references and curriculum concepts for Islamic responses to environmental degradation; avoid relying on unsupported opinion or long quotation.	Use selected Qur’an/Hadith references and a school-environment photo/audit to identify stewardship principles and actual environmental problems.	Check accurate identification of the relevant belief/value/source and respectful use of terminology.
Activity 220 minutes	Learners apply Islamic responses to environmental degradation to a realistic ethical, historical, community or development case and support their reasoning with relevant Islamic principles.	Rank school/community problems by impact and feasibility, then design a response for waste, water, trees, sanitation or energy.	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 Islamic responses to environmental degradation.	Create a measurable stewardship pledge/project plan with baseline, action, responsible persons and evidence of improvement.	Check whether the response applies rather than merely repeats a belief statement.

Lesson Closure

Ask learners to distinguish one belief/principle learned in Islamic responses to environmental degradation from the concrete behaviour it should influence. Complete a one-minute exit response using a concrete example from the lesson on Islamic responses to environmental degradation.
