Part 3: The Five Content Areas by https://padlet.com/ngraham47/gaao8osif5simrvw Identify and reflect en-us 2021-08-17 05:54:57 UTC 2025-11-12 08:28:03 UTC hello@padlet.com In RE, we ensure that all courses cover the five content areas and that each unit focuses on at least two of these areas. I fond the morality and justice content area is used in more focused units on these topics where as the other four content areas ebb and flow in all units. vmackay1 https://padlet.com/ngraham47/gaao8osif5simrvw/wish/1694557961 2021-08-24 23:34:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ngraham47/gaao8osif5simrvw/wish/1694557961 mmercuri4 https://padlet.com/ngraham47/gaao8osif5simrvw/wish/1694664482 We ensure that all 5 content areas are covered. I particularly like how each content area shows how it can be explored fully by using the three strands. ]]> 2021-08-25 00:34:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ngraham47/gaao8osif5simrvw/wish/1694664482 We have just moved as a school to focussing on a content area per term, with one woven through the year. This varies from level to level. We has enabled a deepened learning of the Content Area, as well as, quality movement through the three strands. jcowan18 https://padlet.com/ngraham47/gaao8osif5simrvw/wish/1695313670 2021-08-25 04:44:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ngraham47/gaao8osif5simrvw/wish/1695313670 jbirchmore https://padlet.com/ngraham47/gaao8osif5simrvw/wish/1711038350 Throughout our topics we ensure that we have covered all 5 content areas. Some are more applicable for different topics such as Prayer, Liturgy and Sacrament during our preparation for our school sacraments.]]> 2021-09-01 23:39:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ngraham47/gaao8osif5simrvw/wish/1711038350 In planning with teams, we look at the big theme for the term and develop the key questions based on student voice and looking at the relevant content descriptors across the 5 content areas. For some year levels, it works for a particular content area to be covered in a term, for others, there may be elements from 2 or 3. We map as we go which ones have been accessed. juliawake https://padlet.com/ngraham47/gaao8osif5simrvw/wish/1711224407 2021-09-02 00:56:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ngraham47/gaao8osif5simrvw/wish/1711224407 sscott219 https://padlet.com/ngraham47/gaao8osif5simrvw/wish/1711417113 Over the year, we map and highlight all content areas are covered. We often find that our units will lean towards covering one content area, but will always be covering areas of others as well. Working in composite grades means we need to cognizant of balancing the content areas over a two-year cycle. The content areas can often help us focus on the key ideas students need to understand when we lose focus. ]]> 2021-09-02 02:02:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ngraham47/gaao8osif5simrvw/wish/1711417113 Covering the content RiaCoffey https://padlet.com/ngraham47/gaao8osif5simrvw/wish/1716329260 We are able to curriculum map our the content to be covered.  We could lean towards more inquiry and big questions.]]> 2021-09-04 03:49:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ngraham47/gaao8osif5simrvw/wish/1716329260 nsaliba https://padlet.com/ngraham47/gaao8osif5simrvw/wish/1779691610 Over the past two years, we have worked on covering all the content areas in our units. Moving forward, we could focus on more of an inquiry approach to engage the students.]]> 2021-09-30 00:43:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ngraham47/gaao8osif5simrvw/wish/1779691610 fadielbarbar1 https://padlet.com/ngraham47/gaao8osif5simrvw/wish/1865995244 I think that teaching a content area per term can help create rich, relevant, and rigorous teaching for students. At the moment we are rushing through topics to tick boxes, rather than giving students a better understanding of their faith.]]> 2021-11-03 23:19:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ngraham47/gaao8osif5simrvw/wish/1865995244 verdaguers https://padlet.com/ngraham47/gaao8osif5simrvw/wish/1872031999 The five content areas allow us to identify and build connections and integrate our lessons with Inquiry. However, I am concerned that in some year levels the depth in which each strand is implemented varies. It would be wonderful to challenge ourselves to improve upon this next year. ]]> 2021-11-06 22:02:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ngraham47/gaao8osif5simrvw/wish/1872031999
