"Religions Through Fesivals" is a series which looks at the central features and preoccupations of various world religions through their festivals. The material has been specially chosen to motivate and engage 11-14 year olds and is contained in large-format books. The language level is designed to be accessible throughout and the photographs are used as a basis for discussion, writing and understanding. Each double-page spread presents one main, large photograph around which each topic is planned and it offers ready-made lessons, short or extended. Other information which is presented includes stories, interview and information. The range of activities gives opportunities for personal responses, evaluation and a sympathetic understanding. Pupils are encouraged to write, talk, research, do, make, read or just think. A calendar is included within each book.
