Are humans special or sophisticated animals?
<p>A lesson aimed at an ALN Y8 class for RE, but would work well adapted to suit a PSE lesson or a KS2 class.<br />
This lesson looks at the idea of whether humans are special, or just sophisticated animals and reasons why. This includes ideas of morality and spirituality.<br />
It includes religious ideas from Christianity and Hinduism, in addition to a touch on Judaism and Islam.</p>
<p>After this lesson, I showed a documentary ( <a href="https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3cmd6o" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3cmd6o</a> ) to the class to be able to engage in class discussion and for pupils to gauge their own ideas.</p>
