RE Faith Stories Lesson Pack

This KS3 RE Bundle brings together a complete, ready‑to‑teach sequence of six high‑quality lessons exploring how major world religions use stories, teachings and sacred texts to reveal the nature of God, moral values and human purpose. Designed for Year 7 but easily adaptable for KS2/KS4, this bundle builds strong theological literacy, comparison skills and reflective thinking.

Across the unit, pupils study Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Sikhism and Buddhism, analysing how each tradition expresses beliefs through narrative. Each lesson includes a fully editable PPT and worksheet, with tasks that support explanation, interpretation, comparison and extended writing.
