The Last Supper

The Last Supper

(0)
This resource was designed with the new worldviews curriculum in mind. The bundle traces some key events in the life of Jesus. This fourth resource is about The Last Supper, it includes art analysis, the events of the last supper and valuable lessons we can take from it. For homework, expressions of faith using the music of Stormzy. This is a KS3 resource, year 7s-9. You could also consider discussing the Messiah in more depth, Parables, Holy week, Life after death etc if you want to spread it out for a term. Otherwise this resource set can be completed in a half term if done efficiently. I personally try to cover a lot in KS3 and move through topics quite swiftly but there is also benefits to stretching this material out, to use the HW sheets as in class materials and then offer shorter homework tasks from textbooks etc. 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.
The Dalai Lama

The Dalai Lama

(0)
This is a lesson that can support the GCSE Buddhism course or it can be a general lesson to help contextualise the Dalai Lama as a spiritual and political leader. The lesson covers: Who is the Dalai Lama The challenges the Dalai Lama faces Tibetan independence The challenges of self-immolation The lesson takes 40-50 minutes to complete. Trigger warning - this lesson does refer to the self-immolation of Buddhist monks in protest of Tibetan occupation. If you are interested in more lessons consider my Buddhist beliefs bundle which includes all the content for the GCSE Buddhist Beliefs curriculum.

Who is Jesus?
TeacherHumsTeacherHums

Who is Jesus?

(0)
This resource was designed with the new Worldviews curriculum in mind. The bundle traces some key events in the life of Jesus. This opening resource supports students to think about Jesus from different perspectives, who he is to Historians? Who he is to Christians? Why he is considered a saviour? What was his life like - what was the context at the time. There is also a comprehension worksheet to complete for homework that goes into more depth. This is a KS3 resource, year 7s-9. I have added in an extra short resource if you wish to expand it further to consider Jesus as Messiah could be looked at in more depth. You could also consider discussing the Parables, Holy week, Life after death etc if you want to spread it out for a term. Otherwise this resource set can be completed in a half term if done efficiently. I personally try to cover a lot in KS3 and move through topics quite swiftly but there is also benefits to stretching this material out, to use the HW sheets as in class materials and then offer shorter homework tasks from textbooks etc. 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.
