Seeds of Unity Resources
We have developed 18 new stimulating lesson plans for use in religious education. The plans are suitable also for cross-curricular work such as religion and biology or religion and citizenship/PSHEand include references to projects worldwide. We believe they can easily be adapted to other educational situations The material is grouped into six thematic sections. In each section there are two school-based lesson plans and one botanic garden lesson plan. There is no set programme of study; rather teachers are free to construct their own delivery, e.g. spreading each set of activities over several lessons. Each lesson plan is accompanied by teaching resources and there is a suggested assessment activity for each, with differentiated outcomes. These are offered for the purposes of choice, as teachers wouldn’t be expected to complete an assessment for each lesson. We hope you enjoy using these resources and we welcome your feedback.
