This lesson introduces students to the concept of rites of passage, exploring both religious and secular examples. It includes a clear and engaging PowerPoint presentation, a starter activity to assess prior understanding, and opportunities for class discussion and questioning. Students will learn to define what a rite of passage is, identify and give examples (such as baptism, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, weddings, funerals, and graduations), and recognise the difference between religious and secular rites. The lesson also includes tasks that encourage students to explain the significance and importance of these life events in different cultural and personal contexts. A student worksheet and a final reflective activity help consolidate learning and support assessment.
