Garden of Eden (Genesis)
A lesson that I use with year 7 as part of my Genesis Scheme of Work. The aim is to get students familiar with Genesis 2 as well as recap on Genesis 1. Recap what a Conservative Christian may believe about Genesis 1 (Literal view). Demonstrate an understanding of some of the truths from Genesis 1. Then read as a class or in small groups Genesis 2 using a script and complete a comprehension task. 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 with task descriptions and feedback, a printable script of Genesis 2, tasks and a homework

Year 7 Introduction to RE (Full Lesson with homework task)

The lesson gives students a chance to think about what they have learned at primary school, come up with reasons about why you should student RE and evaluate the best and worst reasons for studying the subject. Along the way there is some extension questions to keep students engaged and focused.

Who is God? (Creation and Covenant)
This lesson includes a crossword starter and frayer models that begin to address the words revelation and God.
Intention is to cover…
What is ‘revelation’?
What is ‘God’?
What if we don’t understand God?
We started teaching the New Catholic RE Curriculum Directory in 2022. So this lesson is based on the draft and my Department Leads interpretation of what we needed to include in each lesson.
There is a lot (too much) packed into the lesson, but it is a good introduction to revelation, God and the characteristics of God and what the Catholic Church teaches about not understanding God.
What happened at Creation? (Creation & Covenant)
Before I do this lesson, I would usually have done a lesson on Genesis 1 and made a story board.
This lesson covers:
How did God make the world?
Who were the first humans?
What was the first sin?
There is a draw the line starter, a reading task, a plenary.

Catholic Beliefs and Teachings in 9 Lessons
This year I found myself in a position where I was told I had to get through Catholic Beliefs and Teachings in 8 Lessons. I didn’t manage this, but did do it in 9!
I was given a new PPT template design to use (building blocks - which I’m not entirely sure I’m sold on these yet), lesson titles and what should be included and these lessons are the result. Most of the specification is covered.
There are lots of tasks and printable resources, either from the PowerPoint or Worksheets. As planning I had to think, ‘how do I get the students the information, in as little time as possible?’
I hope nobody ever finds themselves in this position, however if you do, these resources could help! Or at the very least, some of the tasks!
They would work nicely for revision as well.
This was planned for a middle/low ability group.
Hope you find these lessons useful!
I thought them in this order:
-Trinity
-The Development of the Trinity
Creation
Imago Dei
Incarnation
The Last Days of Jesus
Is the Paschal Mystery Important?
What is Salvation and Grace
What do Christians believe happen when you die?
NEW EDEXCEL GCSE 60 Catholic Christianity Keyword Revision Cards (15 for each topic)
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.
GCSE Judaism - Messiah & Messianic Age (2 Lessons)
Two lessons are included here. One focused around the Messiah and then the Messianic Age. You could combine resources perhaps and put it into one lesson. There is a starter, worksheets and handouts.
There is a starter activity but its quite time consuming so I would only do part of it
GCSE Judaism Beliefs - The Nature of the Almighty (2 Lessons)
Lesson for the Almighty includes a keyword test, information about characteristics of the almighty, draw the line task and a template to complete the © part question.
This lesson includes a keyword test which I told students to revise for homework in a previous lesson. In this previous lesson I got students to decorate their new exercise book and back it before discussing the keywords and setting the homework - I’ve added these resources too (ppt, keywords to decorate, homework)
Finally in a third lesson I went into a little more detail with Jewish Beliefs about the Almighty and did a rotation task and students were asked to fill in a sheet. This ppt, worksheet and rotation information is included.
Hope you find it useful.
We do Edexcel Exam but it could be useful for other examboards.
GCSE Judaism - Shekhinah (2 Lessons)
First lesson introduces tests knowledge from the previous lesson, the idea of Shekhinah and includes a task to search for quotes in the Torah (I used a class set of Bibles).
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.
Moses - Genesis
A lesson that I use with year 7 as part of my Genesis Scheme of Work. The aim is to get students familiar with the story of Moses from the Bible. The PPT includes a family tree that links Abraham (from the previous lesson) to the Hebrews in Egypt. Students should be able to describe important events from Moses life and learn the 10 commandments. 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, starter activity recapping previous lesson (Abraham), links to a clip of the story of Moses, creative booklet task with differentiated options available and a card game. Card game with need to be prepared in advance for the lesson.
