What is the honest likelihood that you guys think the depth study essays will be on significant person? My school (both teachers and students) seem adamant that it will be and thus have prepared accordingly. It was in both our schools trial and the Catholic trial, so there are a few predictions floating around. I’d be keen to hear your guys thoughts

Hello, i was get confused when i'm trying to answer the essay when they start the question out with a huge quote. I was wondering even when in the question they don't ask to reference the quote, do you? And how? The question is below.

Question 4 — Islam (20 marks)

O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.
*noblest having the highest moral character Qur’an 49:13
How do the ethical teachings of Islam guide adherents to live lives that are noble in the sight of Allah? In your response, refer to ONE of the following:
• Bioethics
• Environmental ethics
• Sexual ethics.

Hey there,

In this response, you could talk about the rise of ecumenism and how that encourages various Christian denominations to become united so they could help Aboriginal reconciliation. You could also talk about the significance of the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Ecumenical Commission (NATSIEC) and their aim to talk about the effects of the Stolen Generation and repair the relationship between Christianity and Aboriginal spirituality.

Hope this gave you a bit of direction!

• Bioethics
• Environmental ethics
• Sexual ethics.

I would aim to include the quote several times in your essay, but this doesn't necessarily mean stating the entire quote at the end of every paragraph. For instance, I would deconstruct the quote, pick out the important sections, and refer to these to strengthen or justify a point you are making in your essay. (e.g. "most righteous", "that you may know one another" etc) You can, though, include the entire quote in the introduction, but I would suggest, especially for a long one like this, you don't use the entire thing because you're wasting valuable time to be actually writing out your essay.

Hope this helps :)

Hey Everyone,

I am in Year 11 and am going to do my SOR 1 prelim exams soon. I was wondering whether anyone has any good tips and what the most important things I should study that I can use for the exam, to achieve a high mark?

Also, does anyone have any past prelim papers for SOR 1?... (The new syllabus is making it hard to find them).

Thanks in advance,
Coolmate ;)

Hey Guys! Just did a mock exam at home and I came across this very confusing question from the sor2 2017 paper: ‘ how has the desire for personal fulfillment or ethical guidance affected the rise of new religious expressions and spiritualities? ‘

How are we supposed to prepare for a question and write this? I looked at the answer but I got a complete blank when I looked at that sample answer.

I am by no means an expert but I am studying the Victorian equivalent of this subject. I had a somewhat similar question on my exam and I got full marks on it. (The question was more specifically related to the desire for personal fulfilment and ethical guidance, the former part of your question.) I wrote about how religion comes about as a response to the distinct way that humans search for meaning in their lives. I wrote about how since the beginning of time, humans have used religion to provide guidance and create meaning within their societies through the aspects of religion. (Used the example of primal Aboriginal Australian religions.)

I guess that you could extend this response by discussing how as society evolves and moves forward, people search for and create new systems of belief in line with more modern societal values and understanding.

Hopefully, someone with more knowledge than me might also jump in and give you some suggestions, specifically in how to prepare for this sort of question.

Hi all so I have my trials next week and I'm wanting to create scaffolds for the essays (I do SOR1), but I'm stuck on how I would actually structure an essay.

If the essay was on one syllabus point (e.g. Judaism bioethics), how would I structure my essay? Would it be on 3 principal beliefs or something else?

Thanks :)

Judaism (20marks)
Deuteronomy 7:9 Torah “Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments”.
With specific reference to the quotation, explain how ONE significant practice in Judaism
assists adherents to ‘keep the covenant’.
In your response, refer to • Marriage

Any ideas how to attempt this essay question.

Guys can someone tell me how you would answer this question ASAP PLEASE:)

(b) Religious practices in christianity help followers to gain a deeper understanding of their beliefs.

How does this statement help to demonstrate the significance of ONE of the following practices for the Christian community? (8)
* baptism ( I chose baptism)

I wrote about how it reflects their own experience of baptism but I don't know how to elaborate on that....
