REVISION OF SOME YEAR 7 WORK
For each topic:
1. Look up the relevant bible reading and read it thoroughly. Learn as
much detail as possible.
2. Read the relevant chapter in your text book and remind yourself of
the background to the topic.
3. Read through your notes from year 7 on the topic.
4. Answer the worksheet questions, even if you have done them before.
THIS WILL HELP YOU TO REVISE THE TEXT. The best way to do
this is to answer without looking at the text.

and then make any necessary corrections.
TOPICS TO BE COVERED
Chapter 14 Miracles Mark 2, v 1-12 and Mark 4, v 35-41
(The syllabus has changed slightly so you do not need to know Luke 13 v 10 – 17; but instead you need to know Mark 4, v 35 – 41. I have included a sheet containing the Bible text, sheets which explain this story and two question sheets.)

PTO
B. You have been given a copy of a scholarship paper. Do this as a
timed paper. However, you may take as long as you wish to prepare
for it. (Do as many questions as you wish, but make sure they are all
timed.)
C. Be aware of what is going on in the world by watching the news on
television and reading the paper when you can. (If your family gets
“The Week” then read it - it is an excellent way of keeping abreast of
current affairs.) The knowledge and understanding you gain from
doing this will be a help in your exam; the examiner likes you to make
links between biblical themes and contemporary ethical and religious
matters and debates.
