Christian Beliefs – Lesson 4: What Do Jesus and the Bible Teach? - Includes FREE revision booklet

(0)
Christian Beliefs – Lesson 4: What Do Jesus and the Bible Teach? In this thought-provoking lesson, students will explore and compare teachings from the Old Testament and New Testament to understand the contrast between the harsh laws of the Old Testament and the loving, compassionate messages taught by Jesus in the New Testament. By evaluating the differences between these texts, students will develop a deeper understanding of how Christianity addresses issues of morality, justice, and compassion today. Key Features: Study of Key Texts – Students will study selected passages from both the Old and New Testaments, focusing on the harsh laws (such as those found in Leviticus and Deuteronomy) and the loving teachings of Jesus (such as the Sermon on the Mount and his messages of forgiveness and love). Comparison Activity – After reading the texts, students will compare the two types of teaching, analysing the differences in tone and approach to moral behaviour and justice. They will discuss how the laws of the Old Testament seem to focus more on punishment and justice, while Jesus’ teachings emphasize forgiveness, love, and mercy. Evaluative Reflection – The lesson concludes with a critical evaluation of which type of religious teaching they believe is more appropriate in a modern context. Students will be encouraged to reflect on how these teachings influence modern Christian attitudes and the way Christianity is practised today. Discussion & Debate – To further engage with the material, students will participate in discussions or debates on topics such as whether the harsher laws of the Old Testament still have relevance for today’s world, or if Jesus’ more compassionate teachings are a better guide for Christian living in the modern era. Homework: As part of the homework for this lesson, students are asked to revise for their upcoming assessment next week. To support this, a revision guide has been included in the lesson pack. This guide can be distributed digitally or physically to help students consolidate their learning and prepare for the assessment. Benefits: Critical Thinking – Encourages students to analyse and evaluate religious texts, promoting deeper reflection on how ancient teachings influence contemporary beliefs and practices. Moral Reflection – Helps students reflect on how religious teachings relate to current moral and ethical issues in society, including justice, forgiveness, and equality. Real-world Application – By evaluating the relevance of Old Testament laws versus the teachings of Jesus, students will connect their learning to modern issues in society and religion, fostering a more nuanced understanding of religious teachings in practice. Revision Support – With the included revision guide, students will have the resources they need to effectively prepare for their assessment, reinforcing key concepts and ensuring they feel confident for the test.

Worksheet Activity – This can be done in one lesson using a worksheet or stretched over a double lesson for students to create a high-quality, in-depth project worthy of effort and praise.

(0)
KS3 Islamic Practices Comprehensive Curriculum Bundle – Engaging & Thought-Provoking Lessons Bring Islamic practices to life with our Islamic Practices Comprehensive Curriculum Bundle, a dynamic and engaging set of lessons designed for KS3 and KS4 students. This carefully crafted resource provides an in-depth exploration of key Islamic rituals, traditions, and expressions of faith, helping students develop a well-rounded understanding of Muslim life and worship. Through interactive activities, creative tasks, and thought-provoking discussions, this bundle encourages students to think critically about religious practices while fostering empathy and respect for diverse cultures. What’s Included: Lesson 1: What Are the Five Pillars? Students will explore the Five Pillars of Islam, understanding their role in shaping Muslim life. They will create a revision resource that can be used later to reinforce their knowledge and recall the importance of each pillar. Lesson 2: How Do Muslims Celebrate Rites of Passage? Students will learn about aqiqahs, weddings, and funerals, then conduct an independent study project on one rite of passage. This lesson promotes independent learning and can also serve as an assessment with success criteria and a marking rubric. Lesson 3: What is Eid? Through video research and discussion, students will explore Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, comparing their significance. A maths-based zakat activity helps students understand the concept of charitable giving, and a final evaluative question encourages critical thinking about which Eid is more important. Lesson 4: What is Hajj? A video clip and analysis activity introduce students to the sacred pilgrimage. Students will then create a storyboard explaining the different aspects of Hajj, followed by a comprehension task to consolidate learning. A 5W + H plenary ensures students leave with a clear understanding of this fundamental Islamic practice. Lesson 5: What is Islamic Fashion? Students will explore different styles of Islamic attire for men and women, discussing modesty and cultural variations. They will then design a modern yet respectful Islamic-inspired outfit, blending tradition with contemporary fashion. The lesson includes a knowledge quiz to review previous lessons and differentiated plenary questions to encourage deeper discussion.
