| Weekly Learning Plan | |||
| Subject | Christian Religious Studies | Week | 5 |
| Duration | 60 minutes | Form | SHS 2 |
| Strand | Study of Religion, God’s Creation and Humankind | Sub-Strand | The Nature of God and His Creation |
| Learning Outcome(s) | 2.1.2.LO.1 - Demonstrate understanding and practical application of Christian understanding of the nature and attributes of God within the curriculum sub-strand The Nature of God and His Creation. | ||
| Learning Indicator(s) | 2.1.2.LI.1 - Christian understanding of the nature and attributes of God | ||
| Lesson Focus | Christian understanding of the nature and attributes of God | ||
| Previous Knowledge | Learners recall the immediately preceding knowledge/skill needed to engage with Christian understanding of the nature and attributes of God; the starter diagnoses this rather than assuming mastery. | ||
| Lesson Objective(s) | Identify or explain the key subject idea/procedure in Christian understanding of the nature and attributes of God. Complete the concrete guided/practical task for Christian understanding of the nature and attributes of God accurately. Apply Christian understanding of the nature and attributes of God 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 Christian understanding of the nature and attributes of God? What would a strong practical/application response to Christian understanding of the nature and attributes of God look like? How would changing the context, data or constraints affect a decision about Christian understanding of the nature and attributes of God? | ||
| Pedagogical Strategies | Diagnostic questioning Experiential/problem-based learning Collaborative analysis Guided modelling Independent application Peer/self assessment | ||
| Teaching & Learning Resources | Selected Bible references Concept-map sheet Ethical scenario cards School/community stewardship data | ||
| Key Notes on Differentiation | |||
| Content | Provide a partially completed example, labelled materials or vocabulary support for learners who need scaffolding in Christian understanding of the nature and attributes of God. Extend the task by adding a new constraint, less familiar case or requirement to compare alternatives in Christian understanding of the nature and attributes of God. | ||
| 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 Christian understanding of the nature and attributes of God: 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 Christian understanding of the nature and attributes of God; ask learners what question the case raises for belief and conduct. | Inspect the prompt/materials, record an initial response about Christian understanding of the nature and attributes of God, and justify it briefly. | Not provided. |
| Activity 115 minutes | Guide close reading/analysis of selected Bible references and curriculum concepts for Christian understanding of the nature and attributes of God; avoid relying on unsupported opinion or long quotation. | Locate selected Bible references supplied by the teacher and extract the attribute/responsibility each reference illustrates. | Check accurate identification of the relevant belief/value/source and respectful use of terminology. |
| Activity 220 minutes | Learners apply Christian understanding of the nature and attributes of God to a realistic ethical, historical, community or development case and support their reasoning with relevant Christian principles. | Build a concept map linking beliefs about God/Allah, creation and human responsibility to concrete choices about work, dignity, environment or relationships. | 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 Christian understanding of the nature and attributes of God. | Analyse an ethical scenario and write a response grounded in one relevant Christian principle, distinguishing belief from the practical action it implies. | Check whether the response applies rather than merely repeats a belief statement. |
| Lesson Closure | Ask learners to distinguish one belief/principle learned in Christian understanding of the nature and attributes of God from the concrete behaviour it should influence. Complete a one-minute exit response using a concrete example from the lesson on Christian understanding of the nature and attributes of God. | ||
