Weekly Learning Plan
Subject	Christian Religious Studies	Week	13
Duration	60 minutes	Form	SHS 3
Strand	Religious Beliefs, Practices, Moral Values and Human Development	Sub-Strand	Christian Prayer and National Development
Learning Outcome(s)	3.2.2.LO.1 - Demonstrate understanding and practical application of Prayer, moral action and responsible citizenship within the curriculum sub-strand Christian Prayer and National Development.
Learning Indicator(s)	3.2.2.LI.5 - Prayer, moral action and responsible citizenship
Lesson Focus	Prayer, moral action and responsible citizenship
Previous Knowledge	Learners recall the immediately preceding knowledge/skill needed to engage with Prayer, moral action and responsible citizenship; the starter diagnoses this rather than assuming mastery.
Lesson Objective(s)	Identify or explain the key subject idea/procedure in Prayer, moral action and responsible citizenship. Complete the concrete guided/practical task for Prayer, moral action and responsible citizenship accurately. Apply Prayer, moral action and responsible citizenship 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 Prayer, moral action and responsible citizenship? What would a strong practical/application response to Prayer, moral action and responsible citizenship look like? How would changing the context, data or constraints affect a decision about Prayer, moral action and responsible citizenship?
Pedagogical Strategies	Diagnostic questioning Experiential/problem-based learning Collaborative analysis Guided modelling Independent application Peer/self assessment
Teaching & Learning Resources	Selected Bible references Worship/practice cards Case study Action-plan template
Key Notes on Differentiation
Content	Provide a partially completed example, labelled materials or vocabulary support for learners who need scaffolding in Prayer, moral action and responsible citizenship. Extend the task by adding a new constraint, less familiar case or requirement to compare alternatives in Prayer, moral action and responsible citizenship.
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 Prayer, moral action and responsible citizenship: 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 Prayer, moral action and responsible citizenship; ask learners what question the case raises for belief and conduct.	Inspect the prompt/materials, record an initial response about Prayer, moral action and responsible citizenship, and justify it briefly.	Not provided.
Activity 115 minutes	Guide close reading/analysis of selected Bible references and curriculum concepts for Prayer, moral action and responsible citizenship; avoid relying on unsupported opinion or long quotation.	Sort worship/practice cards by purpose, conditions/elements and values developed, using selected Bible references for support.	Check accurate identification of the relevant belief/value/source and respectful use of terminology.
Activity 220 minutes	Learners apply Prayer, moral action and responsible citizenship to a realistic ethical, historical, community or development case and support their reasoning with relevant Christian principles.	Analyse a case showing how Prayer, moral action and responsible citizenship can influence discipline, compassion, honesty, unity or service; identify evidence and limits.	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 Prayer, moral action and responsible citizenship.	Design a one-week personal/community action that expresses a value linked to Prayer, moral action and responsible citizenship without reducing worship to the action itself.	Check whether the response applies rather than merely repeats a belief statement.

Lesson Closure

Ask learners to distinguish one belief/principle learned in Prayer, moral action and responsible citizenship from the concrete behaviour it should influence. Complete a one-minute exit response using a concrete example from the lesson on Prayer, moral action and responsible citizenship.
