Outcomes |
|
Children: |
- Investigate through a range of quotations why this person is still remembered today. Ask the pupils to list, based on the quotations, the qualities the person had that made their life story endure.
- Locate the religious figure in the world of that time. Provide a map to show where the person was born. Ask pupils to read through information packs on the birth of the religious figure, and then to consider and answer the questions
What do the birth stories tell us about the beliefs of the people who wrote them? What type of source is the birth story - historical/myth/parable?
|
|
- identify the impact the religious figure has made on the world
- describe what occurred at the figure's birth (if relevant)
- analyse critically how religious stories reveal beliefs
|
|
Points to note |
- Throughout this unit, there are opportunities for pupils to make links and comparisons with other religious leaders,
eg in this lesson they could look at the birth stories of Buddha and Jesus.
- Consideration of the question, if done in small groups, could be supported by differentiated prompt sheets or response frameworks.
