Hero: Mary Magdalene

Heroes

A full unit which looks at different heroes from around the world: the Dalai Lama, Gandhi, Malcolm X, Mary Magdalene and Mother Teresa. Key information and sources of wisdom and authority linked to each hero is shared. Lessons include video links, questions they can self/peer assess and discussion points. The lessons look at whether someone can still be a hero if they have flaws. For example, Gandhi made several racist statements when he was younger and Mother Teresa was criticised for how the money they raised was spent, as well as promoting her extreme Catholic views. Issues relating to racism, feminism, sexism, Black Lives Matter and colonisation are covered. This topic is taught as part of the Key Stage 3 Religious Studies curriculum.
