Interpretations of Genesis
A lesson that I use with year 7 as part of my Genesis Scheme of Work. The aim is to recap the 6 day creation story (done in previous lesson). Get students to think about the difference between a literal truth and a metaphorical truth. Then we look at how different groups of Christians (Liberal, Conservative and Catholic) and how they interpret the Bible and Genesis 1. Although I use this with year 7, this could be used up to GCSE level with little adaptation.
Included - PPT to guide you through the lesson that includes tasks, starter, discussions. There is additional tasks if you have time.

Catholic Beliefs and Teachings in 9 Lessons
This year I found myself in a position where I was told I had to get through Catholic Beliefs and Teachings in 8 Lessons. I didn’t manage this, but did do it in 9!
I was given a new PPT template design to use (building blocks - which I’m not entirely sure I’m sold on these yet), lesson titles and what should be included and these lessons are the result. Most of the specification is covered.
There are lots of tasks and printable resources, either from the PowerPoint or Worksheets. As planning I had to think, ‘how do I get the students the information, in as little time as possible?’
I hope nobody ever finds themselves in this position, however if you do, these resources could help! Or at the very least, some of the tasks!
They would work nicely for revision as well.
This was planned for a middle/low ability group.
Hope you find these lessons useful!
I thought them in this order:
-Trinity
-The Development of the Trinity
Creation
Imago Dei
Incarnation
The Last Days of Jesus
Is the Paschal Mystery Important?
What is Salvation and Grace
What do Christians believe happen when you die?
What are the different opinions on how the World was created? (Creation & Covenant)
This lesson covers:
Why are some people happy with what it says in the Bible?
Why do some people not believe that God created the World?
Can you believe in Science and God?
We started teaching the New Catholic RE Curriculum Directory in 2022. So this lesson is based on the draft and my Department Leads interpretation of what we needed to include in each lesson.
This lesson runs over two lessons easily as I don’t like to rush it. It contains the Big Bang Theory (What is it? Who discovered it? What evidence is there to support it?), Evolution (What is it? What Charles Darwin found? What evidence is there to support it?) and the Pope Francis view on Creation and Science.
NEW EDEXCEL GCSE 60 Catholic Christianity Keyword Revision Cards (15 for each topic)
This revision resource can be used in class or can be given to students to make into revision cards.
Sets of cards can be printed on different coloured card, cut out and stuck back-to-back with keyword one side, definition the other.
Alternative if you like to play ‘I have the answer’ with a class you make these cards so that a student reads out the keyword (or definition depending on how you like to play) and another student responds if they think they have the definition on a different card - this takes a little planning to ensure that you choose a path through the keywords that covers all but its good fun.
GCSE Judaism Beliefs - Moses and The Decalogue (2 Lessons)

GCSE Judaism - The Covenant of Abraham (2 Lessons)
The first lesson tells the story of Abraham - links to clips from YouTube. Class can then do put the story in order task. Lesson has ppt, starter, handouts, homework included.
The second lesson looks at evaluating the Covenant with Abraham - introducing how to evaluate a (d) part question - starter, handout, planning task, d part template and homework included. With lesson ppt as well.
GCSE Judaism - Messiah & Messianic Age (2 Lessons)
Two lessons are included here. One focused around the Messiah and then the Messianic Age. You could combine resources perhaps and put it into one lesson. There is a starter, worksheets and handouts.
There is a starter activity but its quite time consuming so I would only do part of it
GCSE Judaism Beliefs - The Nature of the Almighty (2 Lessons)
Lesson for the Almighty includes a keyword test, information about characteristics of the almighty, draw the line task and a template to complete the © part question.
This lesson includes a keyword test which I told students to revise for homework in a previous lesson. In this previous lesson I got students to decorate their new exercise book and back it before discussing the keywords and setting the homework - I’ve added these resources too (ppt, keywords to decorate, homework)
Finally in a third lesson I went into a little more detail with Jewish Beliefs about the Almighty and did a rotation task and students were asked to fill in a sheet. This ppt, worksheet and rotation information is included.
Hope you find it useful.
We do Edexcel Exam but it could be useful for other examboards.

A lesson that I use with year 7 as part of my Genesis Scheme of Work. The aim is to get students familiar with the story of Moses from the Bible.
