GCSE Catholic RE: Creation and Science — 15-Mark Question Masterclass

GCSE Catholic RE: Creation and Science — 15-Mark Question Masterclass

A complete GCSE Religious Studies exam-skills lesson for the Origins and Meaning theme (Catholic Christianity, Route B style). Pupils nail the Catholic reading of Genesis — literal sense, not literalism (Dei Verbum 11; CCC 337) — learn why the Big Bang (Lemaître, 1927) and evolution (John Paul II, 1996) sit comfortably with faith, contrast creationist and Humanist views, then plan and write a full 15-mark evaluation answer on ‘Science has proved that the Genesis creation accounts are wrong’ against a clear mark-band summary.
WHAT YOU GET: an illustrated 11-slide lesson deck (Do Now, objectives, two key-knowledge slides, sources of wisdom and authority, three views, five-step exam method with teacher model, mark bands, plenary); a detailed lesson plan; a pupil sheet (knowledge check, source bank, three-views table, (b) 5-mark practice, (d) 15-mark plan and answer frame); a teacher Answer Key with model points and mark-band summary; cover and licence page.
