Weekly Learning Plan
Subject	Christian Religious Studies	Week	9
Duration	60 minutes	Form	SHS 3
Strand	Religious Beliefs, Practices, Moral Values and Human Development	Sub-Strand	Christian Music and Values for Development
Learning Outcome(s)	3.2.2.LO.1 - Demonstrate understanding and practical application of Christian music, identity and national development within the curriculum sub-strand Christian Music and Values for Development.
Learning Indicator(s)	3.2.2.LI.3 - Christian music, identity and national development
Lesson Focus	Christian music, identity and national development
Previous Knowledge	Learners recall the immediately preceding knowledge/skill needed to engage with Christian music, identity and national development; the starter diagnoses this rather than assuming mastery.
Lesson Objective(s)	Identify or explain the key subject idea/procedure in Christian music, identity and national development. Complete the concrete guided/practical task for Christian music, identity and national development accurately. Apply Christian music, identity and national development 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 music, identity and national development? What would a strong practical/application response to Christian music, identity and national development look like? How would changing the context, data or constraints affect a decision about Christian music, identity and national development?
Pedagogical Strategies	Diagnostic questioning Experiential/problem-based learning Collaborative analysis Guided modelling Independent application Peer/self assessment
Teaching & Learning Resources	Teacher-selected audio/title list Theme/value analysis sheet Programme-note template Speaker/audio device if available
Key Notes on Differentiation
Content	Provide a partially completed example, labelled materials or vocabulary support for learners who need scaffolding in Christian music, identity and national development. Extend the task by adding a new constraint, less familiar case or requirement to compare alternatives in Christian music, identity and national development.
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 music, identity and national development: 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 music, identity and national development; ask learners what question the case raises for belief and conduct.	Inspect the prompt/materials, record an initial response about Christian music, identity and national development, and justify it briefly.	Not provided.
Activity 115 minutes	Guide close reading/analysis of selected Bible references and curriculum concepts for Christian music, identity and national development; avoid relying on unsupported opinion or long quotation.	Listen to or discuss teacher-selected Christian music examples without reproducing lyrics; classify their worship/community functions.	Check accurate identification of the relevant belief/value/source and respectful use of terminology.
Activity 220 minutes	Learners apply Christian music, identity and national development to a realistic ethical, historical, community or development case and support their reasoning with relevant Christian principles.	Analyse themes/values communicated by the music and connect them to a concrete personal or national-development behaviour.	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 music, identity and national development.	Plan a short non-performance programme note explaining the purpose, values and appropriate context of one selected item.	Check whether the response applies rather than merely repeats a belief statement.

Lesson Closure

Ask learners to distinguish one belief/principle learned in Christian music, identity and national development from the concrete behaviour it should influence. Complete a one-minute exit response using a concrete example from the lesson on Christian music, identity and national development.
