A lesson that I use with year 7 as part of my Genesis Scheme of Work. The aim is to recap the 6 day creation story (done in previous lesson). Get students to think about the difference between a literal truth and a metaphorical truth. Then we look at how different groups of Christians (Liberal, Conservative and Catholic) and how they interpret the Bible and Genesis 1. Although I use this with year 7, this could be used up to GCSE level with little adaptation. Included - PPT to guide you through the lesson that includes tasks, starter, discussions. There is additional tasks if you have time. Other Lessons in this scheme of work can be found on TES. Genesis 1- 6 Days of Creation 2. Interpretations of Genesis THIS LESSON The Garden of Eden The Fall of Adam and Eve Noah’s Ark The Covenant with Abraham Moses With more lessons to follow

12-15 lessons to fit the new Religious Education Curriculum Directory “To know you more clearly” This scheme of learning was planned before the text books became available so might look quite different from any of the text books. My resources for each lesson are available separately.

This revision resource can be used in class or can be given to students to make into revision cards. Sets of cards can be printed on different coloured card, cut out and stuck back-to-back with keyword one side, definition the other. Alternative if you like to play ‘I have the answer’ with a class you make these cards so that a student reads out the keyword (or definition depending on how you like to play) and another student responds if they think they have the definition on a different card - this takes a little planning to ensure that you choose a path through the keywords that covers all but its good fun.

This lesson looks at the nature and importance of the Mitzvot and the relationship between the Mitzvot and Free-will. Main task is a rotation task. Students use the relevant information to fill in the boxes on their worksheet. Lesson includes a ppt, activity, worksheet, starter and homework.

The second lesson starts by looking at divergent views within Judaism - introducing Liberal/Reform and Orthodox views. As well as introducing Maimonides as a source of Wisdom and Authority. This then links to different views about the Shekhinah.
