I love learning! I am too easily excited over creating or finding new resources or ideas for the classroom. I can't wait to see students engaging and enjoying their learning. Throw in a Laminator and I am set!! I am a bit of a planner and I am constantly thinking of new ideas and processes to make things in teaching go a little smoother and improve . I thought it was time to start sharing the ideas whirling round my head. I hope you like the resources I have created and find them useful!

Heaven and Hell: Sin and Salvation worksheet

(0)
UPDATED Dec 2016 In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you ... (John 14:2-4) A worksheet designed as an application for a room in God's house. The outlines some of the main criteria for salvation. Students can use the set of applicant profile cards or they can use a famous person and decide whether they think Salvation would be granted. They must justify their reasons for their decision and write a response outlining their decision with support from religious teachings and quotes using the writing frames available. The class can then discuss the outcomes for the "applicants" This will help build their evaluation skills in deciding which teaching would be best. They have to record which denomination has granted or denied salvation. If you have run the activity with a class I would love to know how it went and any constructive feedback on the resource on how it could be improved further. Thank you!
