Pilgrimages: Complete Unit (RE/RS)

This is a complete unit of work introducing students to the idea of evil and suffering and God’s place within that/how to overcome it, focusing on Christianity and Buddhism. This resource includes 10 lessons (designed as 50 minute lessons but would easily fill 1 hour lessons).It was designed for Year 8 in my school, but would be suitable for any KS3 year. There’s a range of different resources and activities to keep students engaged and encourage independent learning.
