Dear R.E. Teacher / Chaplain,

October 21st: Mission Sunday

The theme for Mission Sunday in 2012 is ‘Growing together in Communion’ and I have added Post-Primary school resources from the IMU to our website.

http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/sacredtexts/index.html

This is a great site from the British Library with animated stories from sacred texts. I particularly like the Understanding Sacred Texts section (http://www.bl.uk/learning/cult/sacred/understanding/) where you can pose a range of questions to a panel of interviewees – educators, young people, theologians, faith leaders and an atheist pilosopher. You can have students compare their answers and discover the fascinating contrasts and crossovers that exist between the Hebrew Bible, the Christian Bible & the Qu’ran and their interpretations.

Graphic Organisers:

These two sites have lots of free graphic organisers you can use in R.E. classes to enhance literacy and learning outcomes.

www.teacherfiles.com – Source of free educational resources for teachers to use in their classrooms including a variety of graphic organisers for students to show what they know.

www.teacherprintables.net – Free printable teaching resources made for teachers to quickly print-off and use in their classrooms.

 

 

Kind regards,

Gary
