Weekly Learning Plan
Subject	Christian Religious Studies	Week	12
Duration	60 minutes	Form	SHS 1
Strand	Religion and Contemporary Issues	Sub-Strand	Religion and the Environment
Learning Outcome(s)	1.4.1.LO.1 - Explain the key ideas related to environmental challenges from a christian perspective.
Learning Indicator(s)	1.4.1.LI.3 - Environmental challenges from a Christian perspective
Lesson Focus	Environmental challenges from a Christian perspective
Previous Knowledge	Learners recall the immediately preceding knowledge/skill needed to engage with Environmental challenges from a Christian perspective; the starter diagnoses this rather than assuming mastery.
Lesson Objective(s)	Identify or explain the key subject idea/procedure in Environmental challenges from a Christian perspective. Complete the concrete guided/practical task for Environmental challenges from a Christian perspective accurately. Apply Environmental challenges from a Christian perspective independently to a new case, data set, text, material or performance situation.
Essential Question(s)	What evidence or procedure is needed to work accurately with Environmental challenges from a Christian perspective? What would a strong practical/application response to Environmental challenges from a Christian perspective look like? How would changing the context, data or constraints affect a decision about Environmental challenges from a Christian perspective?
Pedagogical Strategies	Diagnostic questioning Experiential/problem-based learning Collaborative analysis Guided modelling Independent application Peer/self assessment
Teaching & Learning Resources	Selected Bible references School environmental audit sheet Problem-ranking matrix Project plan
Key Notes on Differentiation
Content	Provide a partially completed example, labelled materials or vocabulary support for learners who need scaffolding in Environmental challenges from a Christian perspective. Extend the task by adding a new constraint, less familiar case or requirement to compare alternatives in Environmental challenges from a Christian perspective.
Process	Use mixed-ability pairs for the first application, then require an individual transfer task. Allow oral/visual demonstration where appropriate while retaining the same subject accuracy criteria.
Product	Use a checklist/rubric tied to the concrete output for this week rather than participation alone. For advanced work, require justification with evidence, calculations, source reference or quality criteria.
Success Criteria	The learner uses correct subject terminology and evidence. The learner completes the week’s concrete product/calculation/performance with acceptable accuracy. The learner explains why the procedure/choice fits the stated context rather than giving a memorised general answer.
Homework	Write a short case response on Environmental challenges from a Christian perspective: identify the issue, state one relevant Christian principle and propose a practical action with justification.

Lesson Activities
Stage	Teacher Activity	Learner Activity	Assessment / DoK
Starter10 minutes	Present a short, respectful case or selected Bible reference connected to Environmental challenges from a Christian perspective; ask learners what question the case raises for belief and conduct.	Inspect the prompt/materials, record an initial response about Environmental challenges from a Christian perspective, and justify it briefly.	Not provided.
Activity 115 minutes	Guide close reading/analysis of selected Bible references and curriculum concepts for Environmental challenges from a Christian perspective; avoid relying on unsupported opinion or long quotation.	Use selected Bible references and a school-environment photo/audit to identify stewardship principles and actual environmental problems.	Check accurate identification of the relevant belief/value/source and respectful use of terminology.
Activity 220 minutes	Learners apply Environmental challenges from a Christian perspective to a realistic ethical, historical, community or development case and support their reasoning with relevant Christian principles.	Rank school/community problems by impact and feasibility, then design a response for waste, water, trees, sanitation or energy.	Assess reasoning, relevance of the faith principle, awareness of consequences and respect for diversity.
Activity 310 minutes	Each learner gives an individual reasoned response to a new case or source question on Environmental challenges from a Christian perspective.	Create a measurable stewardship pledge/project plan with baseline, action, responsible persons and evidence of improvement.	Check whether the response applies rather than merely repeats a belief statement.

Lesson Closure

Ask learners to distinguish one belief/principle learned in Environmental challenges from a Christian perspective from the concrete behaviour it should influence. Complete a one-minute exit response using a concrete example from the lesson on Environmental challenges from a Christian perspective.
