Learning objective: to evaluate the use of abortion
This lesson requires the students to investigate different Christian values. Each group should be assigned a different pack which provides from 1 to 3 sources relating to that value (newspaper articles, academic articles, etc). The students have to complete the task sheet as they go, reflecting on the relevance of these values today along with what they mean for their own lives. Whilst they may not deem themselves Christian, are there any parallels between the Christian values and what they believe?<br />
This usually takes two single (45min) periods to investigate and feedback. The task later feeds on to the essay assignment I have designed and which is available on here.

Learning objective? To reflect on religious views towards slavery
This is the second lesson in a series based on the relevance of Christian values in a modern world. <br />
In this lesson, the students consider their views on different ethical issues and begin to consider how Christians would apply the values they follow to these issues. We also look into Biblical evidence whilst acknowledging that the quotes are having to be taken out of context to consider how they would apply today. <br />
In light of this, students then reflect on the needs of a modern society (such as Australia considering legalising gay marriage and euthanasia) in relation to these values.
This is an essay task based on prior learning of Christian values (such as agape love, stewardship, marriage etc). There is a rubric with a clear skill development that the students should be expressing. <br />
I use this assessment after discussing; Christian values, scientific and ethical developments in a modern society (such as euthanasia, cloning). <br />
There are two points to the question; are Christian values relevant? Are they relevant to the modern world where science is prominent? <br />
Most students will agree that they're relevant or are adapting.
