This sheets are to help students plan their answer to a 15 mark question and the ppt includes some sentence starters to help students structure their response.
This lesson explores why God allows suffering to happen and looks at various reason reasons such as the story of job and soul making.
This lesson was planned for KS3 (year9)m however there are overlaps between the lesson and the GCSE content and includes an exam style question at the end of the lesson.
There is a document on Freewill included in the files, this can be given as homework before students complete the exam question or can be included as part of the lesson.
This Lesson is differentiated for students and includes a variety of tasks where students can reach their outcomes.
Tasks in red are compulsory
I would then suggest that students do the coloured tasks that they find challenging for them e.g. if a student find the blue tasks most challenging then they can only do them tasks.
I have used two resources from the bible society the links are below:
Slide 5- Card sort https://educationresources.biblesociety.org.uk/common/pdf/ks3/CEV/Suffering/suffering cards.pdf
Slide 6 -story of Job https://educationresources.biblesociety.org.uk/common/pdf/eduqas/eduqas6.pdf
This resource includes all the key concepts and Knowledge . This can be used as a stand alone knowledge organiser for a unit on evil and suffering or in conjunction with the lessons that I have created on evil and suffering.
This test and knowledge is aimed at KS3 group (year 9) however some of the knowledge crosses over with GCSE units that look at evil and suffering.
This resource includes one knowledge organiser and a test , which involves the students writing down the key concept that links to the knowledge mentioned in the test.
This is lesson 2 in the Evil and suffering unit
This lesson explores the nature of God from both the Cristian and Islamic faith. It also includes an opportunity for extended writing and peers assessment.
This Lesson is differentiated for students and includes a variety of tasks where students can reach their outcomes.
