This lesson covers the GCSE AQA Specification for Christian Beliefs. Each lesson contains a starter, plenary, one or more activity, literacy and homework suggestions. I suggest taking the full 55-60 minutes if possible. Some lessons have slightly more content than others and this can be spread out according to your teaching schedule. All the folders are labelled in order for download but for added clarity the suggested order for the lessons is as follows. Lesson 1 - The Nature of God Lesson 2 - The Problem of Evil Lesson 3 - The Trinity Lesson 4 – Genesis Lesson 5 – The Incarnation of Jesus Lesson 6 – Jesus’ Death Lesson 7 – Easter: The Resurrection and Ascension Lesson 8 – Life after Death Lesson 9 – Sin and Salvation Lesson 10 – The Afterlife and Judgement Lesson 11- Heaven and Hell (download for free from shop) These lessons should be supplemented with relevant sections of the AQA Christianity textbook. I hope you enjoy the resources – please review if you do and I will be uploading more RE resources in the future so watch this space!
