Pull together everything from Unit 1 to create and present your own worldview portrait.
You're pulling together everything from Unit 1 to create and present your own Worldview Map — showing what you believe, why, and how you'd explain it to someone else.
Unit 1 Recall Sprint — 2 minutes
This is the unit assessment lesson. Write down everything you can remember from Unit 1. Include key terms, thinkers, worldviews, dimensions, statistics, and examples.
This assessment pulls together the six lessons of Unit 1. You'll create your own worldview portrait showing what you believe, why, and how you'd explain it to someone else. This counts for 70% of your Unit 1 grade.
What to include in your worldview map:
1. The God Question
Where do you sit on the theist / agnostic / atheist spectrum? What convinced you?
2. Smart's Dimensions
Which 2 or more dimensions shape your worldview? Explain why they matter to you.
3. Origins
Creation, evolution, or both? Why do you believe this?
4. Death & Afterlife
What happens after death? What gives your life meaning?
5. Right & Wrong
Are morals absolute or relative? Where does your sense of right and wrong come from?
6. You in the Data
Where would you appear in British census categories? Describe your position.
Success Criteria
Clear position on the God spectrum (theist, agnostic, atheist, or spectrum between)
At least 2 of Smart's dimensions named and explained
Genuine belief about origins (creation, evolution, or blend)
Thoughtful statement about death and what gives life meaning
Clear explanation of where morality comes from
Identified your place in British census data
Uses evidence and examples from Unit 1
200+ words of genuine reflection
"I'm agnostic-leaning-atheist. I can't prove God doesn't exist, but I haven't found evidence that convinces me. I'm shaped by the ethical and narrative dimensions — I care about how to live well and the stories we tell about meaning. I believe evolution explains how life came to be, though I'm open-minded. When I die, I think that's the end, which is why I focus on making this life good for myself and others. Right and wrong come from empathy and reason — what reduces harm and increases flourishing. In the census, I'd be 'non-religious' (the 26%), but I have respect for people with faith."
Why this works: Clear position on God spectrum. Names ethical + narrative dimensions. Honest about origins. Connects death to life meaning. Source of morality (empathy + reason) explained. Census reference specific. Uses Unit 1 ideas (Smart's dimensions, census data, theist/agnostic/atheist spectrum).
Planning Scaffold
Work through each section. Write genuinely — this is your thinking, not a copy.
1. The God Question
Think: Where on the theist / agnostic / atheist spectrum do I sit? What's convinced me?
Do I believe in creation, evolution, or both? Why?
4. Death & Afterlife
What happens after death? What gives my life meaning?
5. Right & Wrong
Are morals absolute or relative? Where does my sense of right and wrong come from?
6. You in the Data
Where in British census categories would I appear? Describe your position.
