KS3 RE Fully resourced unit of work on Holy Week & Jesus: "Who is Jesus?"

This is a complete 6 lesson unit of work exploring Holy Week & Jesus. I use it in the run up to Easter with Year 7.

It is fully resourced with a detailed scheme of learning document. Every resource has a file name that denotes the lesson it belongs to, and resources also contain the phase of the lesson it may be used at, and these lesson phases correspond with the scheme of learning document for ease of use.

Every lesson has a quality Powerpoint presentation to accompany it, with lesson tasks, ideas and information.
Homework tasks are also built into the scheme, as are reading texts and extended writing tasks.

Lesson 1 explores the historical evidence for Jesus and asks questions abou tthe feeding of the 5000.
Lesson 2 looks at the people involved in Palm Sunday and gets students writing a newspaper article to report on events with a bias.
Lesson 3 considers the Last Supper and links this to the Eucharist.
Lesson 4 asks students to consider Good Friday from the perspective of someone who was there.
Lesson 5 reviews the evidence for the Resurrection in preparation for the following assessment lesson.
Lesson 6 is focussed on getting the students to write an extended piece of writing about whether the Resurrection actually happened. There is a structure sheet available for this, and it is intended to build evaluation skills needed for GCSE AQA Question 5 type answers, though this could be adapted for whichever GCSE syllabus you follow.

I am an experienced RE teacher, now Head of Humanities faculty, and with responsibility for leading and delivering Religous Studies at every level. This scheme of learning has been in the making for 15 years, being tweaked each year for improvements here and there - here is 15 years of effort and experience available to you for £5! I use this scheme of learning when I am training teachers about lesson planning to show what a good unit of work should contain.

May also be of interest to schools without a specialist RE teacher - I have many non-specialists teaching RE so all my schemes have to be written in a way that presumes no subject knowledge by the teacher.
