Subject	Christian Religious Studies	Week	7
Duration	60 minutes	Form	SHS 2
Strand	Religion and Contemporary Issues	Sub-Strand	Religion and Sexual Morality
Learning Outcome(s)	2.4.2.LO.1 - Demonstrate understanding and practical application of Christian perspectives on sexuality and responsible relationships within the curriculum sub-strand Religion and Sexual Morality.
Learning Indicator(s)	2.4.2.LI.1 - Christian perspectives on sexuality and responsible relationships
Lesson Focus	Christian perspectives on sexuality and responsible relationships
Previous Knowledge	Learners recall the immediately preceding knowledge/skill needed to engage with Christian perspectives on sexuality and responsible relationships; the starter diagnoses this rather than assuming mastery.
Lesson Objective(s)	Identify or explain the key subject idea/procedure in Christian perspectives on sexuality and responsible relationships. Complete the concrete guided/practical task for Christian perspectives on sexuality and responsible relationships accurately. Apply Christian perspectives on sexuality and responsible relationships 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 perspectives on sexuality and responsible relationships? What would a strong practical/application response to Christian perspectives on sexuality and responsible relationships look like? How would changing the context, data or constraints affect a decision about Christian perspectives on sexuality and responsible relationships?
Pedagogical Strategies	Diagnostic questioning Experiential/problem-based learning Collaborative analysis Guided modelling Independent application Peer/self assessment
Teaching & Learning Resources	Selected Bible references Age-appropriate ethical scenario cards Decision framework Support-resource list
Key Notes on Differentiation
Content	Provide a partially completed example, labelled materials or vocabulary support for learners who need scaffolding in Christian perspectives on sexuality and responsible relationships. Extend the task by adding a new constraint, less familiar case or requirement to compare alternatives in Christian perspectives on sexuality and responsible relationships.
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 perspectives on sexuality and responsible relationships: 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 perspectives on sexuality and responsible relationships; ask learners what question the case raises for belief and conduct.	Inspect the prompt/materials, record an initial response about Christian perspectives on sexuality and responsible relationships, and justify it briefly.	Not provided.
Activity 115 minutes	Guide close reading/analysis of selected Bible references and curriculum concepts for Christian perspectives on sexuality and responsible relationships; avoid relying on unsupported opinion or long quotation.	Use age-appropriate ethical scenario cards to identify the competing values, pressures, possible harms and relevant Christian principles.	Check accurate identification of the relevant belief/value/source and respectful use of terminology.
Activity 220 minutes	Learners apply Christian perspectives on sexuality and responsible relationships to a realistic ethical, historical, community or development case and support their reasoning with relevant Christian principles.	Apply a decision framework—dignity, responsibility, consent/safety, consequences, faith principle and support—to propose a respectful response.	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 perspectives on sexuality and responsible relationships.	Write a confidential-style advice response to a fictional peer that encourages responsible choices and seeking trusted adult/professional support where needed.	Check whether the response applies rather than merely repeats a belief statement.

Lesson Closure

Ask learners to distinguish one belief/principle learned in Christian perspectives on sexuality and responsible relationships from the concrete behaviour it should influence. Complete a one-minute exit response using a concrete example from the lesson on Christian perspectives on sexuality and responsible relationships.
