This resource was designed with the new worldviews curriculum in mind. The bundle traces some key events in the life of Jesus. This is a KS3 resource, year 7s-9. If you wish to expand it further to consider Jesus as Messiah. You could also consider discussing the Parables, Holy week, Life after death etc if you want to spread it out for a term.

All resources should be supplemented with effective questioning to reap the best results! ‘Tell me more about that?’ ‘Does anyone disagree?’ ‘Why might Jesus have done this?’ etc.
