Pupils have opportunity to use the Religious Studies Vocabulary Booklet to add any additional Key Words they learn during the lesson. Additionally, There is an order activity on key events in the Bible and Christianity to date. There are lots of events included to give you the option to use them all or select the events that you would like to include in your own lessons. The plenary activity is our Emoji Graph. Pupils are asked to choose some of the key events in Christian history and create an emoji graph based on this. The number of events for them to choose has been left to your discretion depending on the ability of the class. This PPT also includes a video link to Christianity in our society today.
The Death of Jesus: This is an interactive guide surrounding some of the key concepts used to explain the reasons for Jesus’ sacrifice. Pupils will have use of a poem, Biblical quotes and these key terms to discuss, analyse and select the most relevant information relating to the beliefs about death in Christianity. They will then be tasked with answering an exam style question: “Explain why the death of Jesus is important? (4)”
Life after Death Quotes: This is a single resource sheet that includes Biblical quotes that are based on life after death. We usually give these to pupils at the beginning of the topic so that they can refer to them when we are studying different aspects of the beliefs, teachings and practices that surround death. This is particularly useful when pupils are answering exam style questions. They can refer to this sheet to help them support their answers with Biblical teachings.
