KS3 Ancient Beliefs Unit of Work

This resource is unit of work on Ancient Beliefs, intended as an introduction to mythical thought and religion for KS3. The lessons and PowerPoints include a range of engaging, high-quality activities on the following lesson titles:

Lessons include:
L1 - Why Study Ethics/RS? / Intro to Ancient Beliefs
L2 - Creation Myths
L3 - Greek Myths 1
L4 - Greek Myths 2
L5 - Philosophy 1 (Who Am I?)
L6 - Philosophy 2 (Would I live a life without pain?)

Scaffolding is included in the Powerpoint itself and also in the Work Pack to ensure maximum engagement and comprehension. Challenges (extension tasks) also exist throughout the unit to further enhance skills and understanding.

There are a variety of knowledge, understanding and evaluation tasks throughout the unit, including video and debate activities that the students always love - year-on-year. The resources are in a document called a ‘Work Pack’ which can either be used in place of exercise books, or specific activities can be printed out and used in conjunction with exercise books, depending on your teaching-style.

Please give feedback! I am always happy to respond to comments - whether positive or constructive - this will help to improve the quality of my resources in the future and, more importantly, the quality of pupils’ RE/RS education in general - which is what we’re all here for!
