Kar2ouche - RE: Understanding Religion
Publisher: Immersive Education 
Platform:  Age Range: 7 to 11
Key Stage: KS2 Formats Available:   | Kar2ouche Understanding Religion gives students the opportunity to learn about - and from - religion, by encouraging them to investigate the diversity of different faiths while considering their own beliefs and values.
They are asked to analyse, interpret and evaluate a wide range of issues from different religious perspectives, and to develop their own sense of identity and belonging as citizens. As they develop their understanding of unfamiliar religions, they will discover a number of shared beliefs, values and practices within and between religions.
By using the computer, students can deal with situations, ask questions and challenge assumptions in a less personally threatening or embarrassing way.
There are five units - each divided into four activities - covering Christianity and one other faith:
How do religions remember?
How do faith communities help people to feel involved?
What is the role of places of worship?
How are people inspirational?
How are religious ideas expressed through symbols?
The activities introduce the concepts and relate them to the students' own experiences, then develop these concepts in relation to particular faiths. Finally, they provide space for students to reflect on what they have learnt. A suggested extension activity provides structure to research an additional faith.
Each Kar2ouche title comes with a comprehensive Teacher Support Pack. This is supplied on CD and, for network site licence editions, in hard-copy format. Additional hard-copies can be purchased separately.
The content comes with a SCORM file that opens in your learning platform (VLE) with an product introduction. You can then launch the application from this browser page. Please note that you will need to have the application loaded to participate in any of the suggested activities.
