This lesson is aimed at year 7 students as an introduction to RE and why it is important to study. Its a nice simple starter lesson that all students find engaging! It also gives you a chance to get to know the students. 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. Included - link to a clip, cut and stick sorting activity, homework task, ppt to guide you through the lesson with lesson outcomes, differentiation, task explanation.

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. 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. It includes starter, recap tasks, a reading tasks and plenary.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I produced a resource last year that attempts to squeeze all of the content for a single topic onto one page - print in A3 or the text will be too small. A lot of different sets in Year 11 found this resource useful and preferred it to the exam booklets. 1 page - Catholic Beliefs and Teachings 1 page - Practices 1 page - Sources of Wisdom and Authority 2 pages - Forms of Expression and Way of Life (Print back to back - or separately - had to produce an extra page for the symbols and images.

This lesson covers: What are symbols? What is a symbolic story? What symbols are found in Genesis 1 to 3? We started teaching the New Catholic RE Curriculum Directory in 2022.

Looks at the difference between literal truths and symbolic truths, the benefits of telling a story and looks at the symbolic truths found in Genesis.
