The Pope and the Catholic Church

(3)
This is a PowerPoint presentation to teach students about the papacy and the process of papal elections. I made this in response to some questions from my year 7's and thought it would tie in nicely with what&'s happening in the Catholic Church at the moment. This would also be useful for Christianity modules and, in particular, when studying Catholicism. Please leave feedback so I can improve my resources. Thank you :)

I have created a Year 9/10 scheme of work based on the new AQA 1-9 RS GCSE. However, it is split into 2: one for a WEEKLY lesson, and one for a FORTNIGHTLY lesson as we have 3 across the fortnight in Year 9. Weekly lessons deal with component 1, and fortnightly lessons deal with component 2 (themes). I have also produced a term's homework 'menu, as well as PLCs (personal learning checklist using the red/amber/green system) and the first lesson for both component 1 and component 2 are attached. Please do rate and leave feedback :) Many thanks!
