In this engaging lesson, students are introduced to the historical context in which the Jewish people were enslaved in ancient Egypt. They consider the themes of slavery and liberty and how these relate to the subject matter.
The learning is guided by a clear and colourful PowerPoint presentation, which guides students through the following step-by-step journey:
-Knowledge harvesting - gauging what children already know about the life of Moses;
-Defining and discussing the key themes of slavery and liberty - including why slavery is considered wrong and its impact on people;
-Watching a short video (hyperlinked) about the enslavement of the Jewish people in Egypt;
-Engaging with Bible quotes from Exodus 1, to further their understanding of the Jewish enslavement;
-Considering their own attitudes and ideas in relation to slavery;
-Creating a persuasive poster arguing against slavery;
-Completing a plenary to assess their understanding.
This resource pack contains a comprehensive 15-slide Powerpoint, the hyperlink to the short video, and a worksheet for the Bible quotes activity
In the past, I have used this lesson with children from across Key Stage 2 - the key learning is aligned with curriculum expectations for RE, and also the content prescribed by most diocese regions. All images are licensed for commercial use.
