The History of Christianity

This is a booklet that is designed to be taught alongside our History of Christianity PowerPoint that can be found here . Together they form one of our ‘Grab & Go Lessons’ with Zero prep needed.

This lesson is designed to be a summary of some of the key events in Christian history.

It is the 3rd in the series of resources we are creating for the new RS GCSE.

The starter activity is based on our the fidget spinner activity from last lesson and is designed to ascertain pupil understanding of last lesson’s topic.

There is a Fidget Spinner Placemat that is designed to be enlarged to A3 size for pupils to make notes as they progress through the starter activity. There is also a fidget spinner sheet (without space for notes) that you can print in colour and laminate for classroom use.

Pupils have opportunity to use the Religious Studies Vocabulary Booklet to add any additional Key Words they learn during the lesson.

Additionally, There is an order activity on key events in the Bible and Christianity to date. There are lots of events included to give you the option to use them all or select the events that you would like to include in your own lessons.

The plenary activity is our Emoji Graph. Pupils are asked to choose some of the key events in Christian history and create an emoji graph based on this. The number of events for them to choose has been left to your discretion depending on the ability of the class.

This PPT also includes a video link to Christianity in our society today.
