<p>A great lesson for ks3 pupils (year 8- year 9). Included is a powerpoint that sets up the enquiry question ‘who killed Jesus’.<br /> Learning objectives is to justify a decision about who killed Jesus. Also ties in with the idea of ‘responsibility’.</p> <p>Lesson is set up as an enquiry. Pupils to be in groups of 4, each pupil is focused on a key suspect (Judas, Pontius pilate, Jospeh Caliphas and ‘part of Gods’ plan). Differentiate by groups.</p> <p>Pupils can focus on one of the suspects then report back to their groups, recording their findings and each others on the worksheet attached.</p> <p>I developed this as part of a ks3 syllabus on Jesus and it worked very well as the pupils were able to think creatively and use analytic and evaluative skills.</p> <p>challenge questions are also included throughout the lesson and the lesson ends with a creative writing task: ‘Write a letter to the Judge of this case explaining who you think is responsible for the death of Jesus.’ Differentiation is included (letter template and addtional challenge paragraph for more able).</p> <p>Timers are inserted on the powerpoint also to help keep pace, if required.<br /> A really fun, inquistive lesson!</p>
