This is a lesson on Critical Religious Education (Critical realism) It is about exploring worldviews and understanding everyone is starting in different places, the homework would be to ask the questionnaire to someone else. The questions are adapted from the work of the CRE team at King's College London - Credit to them for the rational and concepts of this SOW.

This lesson covers the birth narratives and stories from Jesus’ life that give information as to his being called ‘the Son of God’ There are a couple of text analysis activities (trying to give students opportunities to deal with original material) and an enjoyable carousel. please give feedback!

This is a bit shorter than my normal lessons, it does touch on some high level concepts but what you will probably find is that many of your students will already come with ideas on the topic. When I did this with year 9 they just wanted to talk and talk and ask lots of questions and they really enjoyed the more philosophy side of it. Consequently the lesson leans more to class discussion and you can insert many debate activities in, if you have time.

This the 2nd lesson on the Trinity. It starts with a reminder on the heresies around the Trinity (can be used as starter). It then details how the Filioque controversy came about and goes into bit of detail on the Great Schism of 1054 (please do make it clear that the Church was slowly drifting a part due to the fall of the Roman empire.) I’ve made an attempt to explain what ‘proceeds’ from the Father and the Son mean and how this idea fits into Easter and Western Theology.

I focus the majority of this unit on Christianity as there is enough diversity to fulfill the exam requirements. However, it does still include Islam when appropriate. This lesson contains lots of information slides, ideal for home learning/revision. Easily adaptable into active learning strategies for your teaching style.

This lesson explores Christian attitudes to sex (there is enough diversity to cover exam requirements) it goes behind the scenes to look at the idea of complimentary pairs in creation. I really wanted to help students understand that when some Christians disagree with homosexuality it isn’t necessarily the case that they are homophobic, but rather that their world view doesn’t sustain the idea of homosexuality and so it places them in a difficult position, choosing between what they believe are eternal principles and what modern society expects. I find this helps students to understand the diversity of views. there are exam questions included.

This lesson looks at the nature and purpose of families for Christians. It looks at traditional views against modern ones as well as the diversity of views. Exam style questions included.

This is a game I've created for my year 11's. They've been struggling with keywords so this is a fun activity that can be played multiple times with them. There are differing levels of rules so can allow for differentiation as well. The cards have been created so that you can print them double sided and the tiles will match up (or print and photocopy 1sided - 2 sided and it should work) I recommend laminating and printing each set of different colour paper. There are about 27 words in total. The rules in short are, Spread the cards out across your table with the keyword facing up Each player takes it in turn to select a card and guess the definition of the word. If the player guesses correctly with the reverse of the card they keep the card and add it to their pile. If they are incorrect the leave the card to the table and put back 3 cards from their hand. Winner is the person with the most cards at the end of the game. Also available as bundles with Islam, Christianity and Themes Please review! Thanks
