This is a really big lesson for worship and prayer, you may find it easy to split in two. It covers the who the whats of these different styles. I’ve also now updated it to include lots of videos through, which the students really like. My year 10s like to write EVERYTHING down, its good training for A level and will help the revise, however you may want to just turn them into crib sheets if you want the to note take.
The activity is a sorting one but in the interests of time I recommend using highlighters, the hands are also included, it is a way of listing advantages and disadvantages - thinking along the lines of 12 mark question.
In the powerpoint I’ve included a video that has stuff to do with speaking in tongues (its a long video but you’d start from about 11 min in. Obviously, skip this if you’re not confident in explaining this belief and don’t want to open a can of worms, most people find it a bit freaky. If you do include it, I recommend talking them through the video and explaining that these people are having a ‘religious experience’ and it’s their emotions on display.
If the videos don’t load after a few moments, re launch the power point.
Lesson 4 - Festivals (Christmas and Easter)
Lesson 5 - Role of the Church in the Community
Lesson 6 - The place of mission and evangelism
Lesson 7 - Growth of the worldwide Church
Please see individual lessons (uploaded separately) for more detail on each one.
This lesson is all about reconciliation and follows the AQA textbook.
I have punctuated the lesson with various questions including some exam style ones. As with all my powerpoints, key words are colour coded in blue boxes, key quotes in yellow.
Whole unit for Theme 1’s inductive arguments. It goes through each argument and looks at the challenges, can be done over 3 or 4 lessons.
Information heavy but ideal for adapting into your own lessons or using as is.
Scheme of Work on the problem of evil, shaped for year 7. Lots of discussion and concept exploration. Looks at Natural and Moral Evil. Follows a Critical Religious Education Pedagogy
Here is the first of a half terms worth of lessons, introducing RS.
The emphasis is on the skills for the subject, the nature of investigations, asking questions.
Included is the work sheet, they write 'ultimate questions' in the question mark. Looks good if they do them colourful!
Please note this ppt requires the free web player plugin for power point, it is really easy to install, you literally just click on 'my apps' from the menu bar when you have power point open, look for the video player and click add.
I was having trouble using you tube through the power point so I started using the web player app instead.
The video, if the download doesn't work, is on you tube and it is simply the trailer to 'the story of God' documentary with Morgan Freeman.
Thanks!
This is part of a unit introducing RE and the skills and process of doing it.
There is a card sort for the skills in RS open ended differentiation.
There is also an activity around building arguments, we didn't get to this in 45 minute lessons but it is there as an option.
There is also the syllogism game I developed, this is great fun with my year 9s and some of the absurdities generated can be hilarious!
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 30 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.
