RE lesson ‘Where is God?’
For the next three weeks I will be taking a Year 7 RE class at a secondary school. It’s a mixed group of 12-13 year olds who are fairly rowdy. I’ve been given free rein to do what I want and wanted to get them thinking about ‘where is God?’. Anyone got any creative ideas I could do for this or maybe some examples that people have done before that I could show the class to get them thinking?
I start next Wednesday
thanks
Hi Steven,
Lat Blaylock has got some brilliant ideas for this theme using art. Check out his stuff here: http://schoolswork.co.uk/resourcetoolkit/entry/where-is-god/, and the follow up material here: http://schoolswork.co.uk/resourcetoolkit/entry/where-is-god-part-2/.
Apologies for not picking up on your question until now. How are you doing in preparation for your lessons? Let us know if there’s anything we can do.
Blessings, Amy
I have asked them to design their own God first, thinking about what rules there might be, how it would be worshipped, it’s character. Then pick up points from their drawing and writing that links to our Fab God.
Lat has a brillianty poem called where’s God? (“In the fairtrade chocolate, not the kitkat”, or something like that)! They could then write their own.
Hope this helps,
Andrea
