Lesson video

Hi everyone, and welcome back to your RE lessons.

Today we're doing something a little bit different and we are having a recap and practise lesson.

You've now completed six RE lessons.

So today is your opportunity to see what you can remember, to go over some of those key words and to check that it's all in your head.

My name is Mrs. Day, and I will be taking you through this lesson today.

So, in today's lesson, you will have an opportunity to recap over the first six lessons that we have studied together.

We are going to revise key words, key concepts, and we will try some exam questions together.

If that sounds scary, please do not worry.

I will talk you through all of that and we will do it together.

So before we start, it would be great if you could pause the video and go to get the equipment that you will need.

So you will need a pen or a pencil, some paper and a different coloured pen so that you can mark your answers and add some corrections.

So you can pause the video now and go to get whatever you need in order to complete the lesson.

Great, so now we are ready to start.

And the first thing that we are going to do is to go through lots of our key words.

So in the first six lessons, you have seen lots of totally new words.

So, over the next few minutes, you're going to have a go at seeing what you can remember.

Great.

So, as we do this, you can either write down your answer or you can point at the screen.

But be honest with yourself on what one do you know, and what you don't know.

So question number one, which of the following words means 'all loving'? Eternal, creator, omnibenevolent or omnipotent? Five, four, three, two, and one.

The answer is omnibenevolent, well done if you got that.

Question number two, which of the following words means 'lasts forever'? Eternal, creator, omnibenevolent, or omnipotent? Five, four, three, two, and one.

The answer is eternal.

Well done if you got that one.

Which of the following books of the Bible contains the creation story? Is it Revelation, Genesis, Luke, or Matthew? Five, four, three, two, and one.

It is of course, Genesis, it is the first book of the Bible, and that start of Genesis has the creation story in it.

So well done if you got that.

Now, which of the following words means 'all powerful'? Is it eternal, creator, omnibenevolent or omnipotent? Five, four, three, two, and one.

The answer is omnipotent.

Remember our tricks to help you remember these words, There's a p, o at the start of powerful, and there's a p, o in the middle of omnipotent.

Which of the following words means to rise again? Is it crucifixion, resurrection, incarnation or omnipotent? Five, four, three, two, and one.

It is of course, the Resurrection.

And we learned about when Jesus rose from the dead on the Sunday.

Which of the following words means death on a cross? Is it crucifixion, resurrection, omnibenevolent, or incarnation? Five, four, three, two, and one.

The answer is crucifixion.

And you might remember when we learned about Jesus's death on a cross.

This was crucifixion, and this was quite an extreme punishment given to the worst criminals.

So well done if you got that.

Which of the following means 'God in human form'? Crucifixion, resurrection, omnibenevolent or incarnation? Five, four, three, two, and one.

The answer is of course, the Incarnation.

But God in human form, incarnation.

And we know that God took human form when he came to earth as Jesus.

So Jesus was the Incarnation of God on earth.

Really well done if you got that.

Which of the following words means 'to break the laws of nature'? Is it magic, miracle, teachings or omnipotent? Five, four, three, two, and one.

The answer is a miracle.

In the Bible, we read about miracles and all of these miracles break the laws of nature.

You will remember that I used an example which said, if I drop my TV remote, it will fall because those are the laws of nature.

Whereas if it didn't fall, that would be breaking the laws of nature.

Really well done on that.

I wonder how many of those questions you got right.

Hopefully that's helped you to remember lots of the key terms that we have looked at in the past six lessons.

So now you're ready for a slightly different style question.

And what I want you to do now, is to answer these short questions and then we will go through them together.

So this first one, I want you to pause the video, spend about one minute on this.

You shouldn't need much more time.

You don't have to write in full sentences.

You can just bullet point your ideas.

So, first question is, name two members of the Trinity.

You can resume the video once you are finished.

Great, great effort.

So, please lift your other coloured pan to be ready to add your corrections.

So, name two members of the Trinity.

You could have had the Father, the Son or Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.

What I will not accept is God, because all three persons are God.

So Father, Son, or the Holy Spirit, you can give yourself a mark out of two.

Your next question, same idea.

Give two things that happen in the week before the Crucifixion.

So you can pause the video, write down two things that happened in the week before the Crucifixion.

And you can press resume once you are ready to keep going.

Great, well done, let's look at some answers.

So, give two things that happen in the week before the Crucifixion.

You'll remember that we call that Holy Week.

And you can have any two of these options.

So Jesus arrives in Jerusalem on a donkey, also known as Palm Sunday, Jesus clears the temple, Jesus teaches on the Mount of Olives, and the Last Supper.

Or you could also have Judas betraying Jesus, that is also completely fine.

So there, you can give yourself two out of two, if you got two of those.

If you've got more than two, well done.

And finally, give two reasons why the Resurrection is important to Christians.

This is a little bit harder.

So you can pause your video here, and try to think of two reasons why Christians still celebrate the Resurrection today.

You can press resume when you have finished.

Great effort, I wonder what you wrote down.

Again, pick up your other coloured pen and we will mark this together.

Two reasons why the Resurrection is important to Christians.

Number one, it shows that God is omnipotent or all powerful.

And number two, it shows that God has power over death.

Those are the two reasons that we looked at in the lesson on the Resurrection.

You might have something slightly different, and if it is relevant, I will let you take the mark, but you have be the judge of that.

So now you can give yourself a mark out of six for those three questions.

Well done on what you remembered.

Great, so now we're ready to move on to another style of question.

So what I would like you to do is to pause the video here and get a blank piece of paper, and I want you to write down anything you can remember about Jesus's life.

So that could be his miracles, his teachings, his actions, quotations we looked at, what happened to him.

So take three minutes or longer if you want to, and write down everything you can remember.

And then we will go through some of those key ideas together.

You can press resume once you've got all your ideas on a piece of paper.

Great, really well done.

What would be great now is if you could pick up your other coloured pen, because you're going to use it to add other ideas around your sheet.

So here are some answers that I thought of.

You may have gotten more than this or different answers.

If you didn't get any of these, feel free to add them onto your page.

Events in Jesus's life.

We have the Nativity story where the Incarnation happened.

So the Word became flesh.

You might have written down some key things that happened in the Nativity story.

Such as they went to Bethlehem, the shepherds visited, the wise men visited and brought gifts.

If you went into that detail, that is great.

Then we also have the Crucifixion and you could have went into much more detail than I did.

So you could put down some quotes such as, "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?" Or you could put down some details of what happened at the Crucifixion.

You could also have the Resurrection, that is when Jesus rose from the dead on the Sunday.

And you can include the quote, "He is not here, He has been raised." You could also include some events from the story we looked at.

Such as the women who went to the empty tomb, the fact that the man appeared to them, or Peter ran dying to see if what they were saying was true.

Then we come to the events that we looked at in our lesson on the life of Jesus.

So you could include the Last Supper, that's a big event in Jesus' life, where he has his first communion with the disciples'.

You could also include Jesus washing the disciples feet.

You will remember we talked about how that is so countercultural and how it shows the humility and the love of Jesus.

You could also talk about Jesus's miracles.

So you might know lots of his miracles, but the one that we looked at together was when the 5,000 were fed, so the feeding of the 5,000.

And you can include quotes from that story or just events that happened in it.

And then finally, you can include Jesus' teachings.

And we looked at his teachings on The Sermon on the Mount.

You might remember some of those.

Where he told people to turn the other cheek, he said not to judge people, and he told people not to build up material possessions, not to put their worth in that.

So if you got any of those, really well done, and you can add on some extra ones you didn't get.

If there are some that I have forgotten, then you can give yourself a tick for those as well.

So, well done.

Now we are ready for the last part of our lesson.

And that is where we are going to put some of your ideas and what you have learned into an exam question.

I know when we say exam questions, sometimes students get a little bit scared, but I promise you will all be able to do this.

We're going to do it together and I will talk you through exactly what you need to do.

After I've explained this, you can pause the video to complete the task.

The question that we are going to look at, is explain two reasons why the Resurrection is important to Christians.

You might remember that we went through this earlier in the lesson, so you can look back to find the reasons if you can't remember.

So what you need to do is write two separate paragraphs, and each paragraph will be made up of a point, a piece of evidence, which is usually a quote from the Bible, and an explanation.

So your point could be, one reason the Resurrection is important is because it proves God's omnipotence.

Then what you need to do is to find a quote that you could use, and explain why it's important and what it means.

I am going to ask you now to pause this video.

And I want you to take about five or 10 minutes and have a go at this question by yourself.

Don't be afraid to make mistakes, just have a go, and we will go over it together when you are finished.

So when you're finished, please just click resume, and we will talk through the answers together.

Really great effort, well done.

And I know that it can be quite tricky to write out paragraphs, but I'm sure you did really well.

So now, please lift your coloured pan again, and we're going to go through some of this together on what your answers should look like.

So, have a look at my example answer.

Let me remind you of the question.

Explain two reasons why the Resurrection is important to Christians.

So you will see in purple that I have included my point.

One reason why the Resurrection is important is because it proves that God is omnipotent.

That is my point, that is it.

Then in the next line, I have included my evidence in pink.

For example, in the Bible it says, "He is not here, he has been raised." And then finally, we get to the explanation in green.

Christians would say that the fact that Jesus has risen proves that God is all powerful and can do anything.

So here you see there's a clear point, a clear piece of evidence and a clear explanation.

Your explanation should not just be repeating the point.

It should link the verse to the point and explain what that means.

Really well done.

You have done the second paragraph as well, but you can use this structure and see if you have done that in your second paragraph.

Well done, I am so impressed.

Now hopefully, you're feeling a little bit more confident.

So I want you to have a go at this question.

It's exactly the same structure.

The question is, explain two Christian beliefs about the Incarnation.

Remember, the Incarnation is God in human form.

Again, you can look back at previous lessons if you're not sure what these beliefs are.

Or just have a go and see what you can remember.

But remember you need two paragraphs, and in each paragraph you have to have a point, evidence and an explanation.

You can use the sentence structures on this slide to help you.

So when you're finished, please press resume.

Really well done, great effort.

We are going to go through this together.

Similar to my last example, you can see that there are three different colours to represent the three different sections of your paragraph.

So one belief about the Incarnation is that God took on human form.

Then we come to the evidence.

For example, in the Bible it says, "The word became flesh." Finally, we get to the explanations.

Christians would say, God taking human form means that he can understand what human beings go through in life.

So there you have a point, evidence and an explanation.

You can use that structure to mark your second paragraph.

Well done, I am so impressed.

Hopefully, you now feel really confident on answering an explain question.

Really well done on today's lesson, everyone.

I hope this has been helpful in allowing you to go back over things that you have learned.

Remember that's really important.

If you just learn something once and never look back at it, you'll probably forget it.

Whereas if you revisit the things you have learned, then they'll be in your long-term memory.

If you would like to share your work, then please do ask a parent or carer to share it on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter, and use any of the hashtags or tags below.

And finally, another massive thank you for joining in today's lesson.

I hope that you all feel really confident with Christian beliefs, and ready for the next set of lessons.

Please could you now attempt the summary quiz to test yourself, to check that you feel confident with this content.
