This PowerPoint-based lesson looks at the concept of monotheism and polytheism in Hinduism, as well as focusing on the Trimurti (Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva) and the story of Rama, an avatar of Vishnu. It contains two links to some great short videos about these ideas as well as a range of activities for students to complete. There is also a sheet with printable images of the Trimurti. Overall, the (fully editable) PowerPoint is 24 slides in length and likely to take 1 lesson (or 2 lessons depending on discussion, etc.) to complete. A NOTE ABOUT MY POWERPOINTS: All slides have information for delivery provided in the ‘Notes’ section. Gold boxes contain information that can be read to the class; it’s also a good opportunity to select a student to read for literacy. Blue ‘TASK’ boxes are always tasks to be completed (these may link to an extra resource that has been provided, such as a worksheet). There will also be a ‘sound level icon’ suggested for these (there is also a slide at the end full of sound levels icons that you can use to edit). Some tasks also have key careers/employability skills indicated. Orange ‘CONSIDER’ boxes are questions that can be discussed as a class or in groups. Green ‘EXTENSION’ boxes are extra work/challenge for those who complete the main blue box tasks or are otherwise ready for something more difficult. Red boxes generally have some information hidden behind them and will reveal as you click through the PowerPoint.
