Description
What is emotional intelligence, and why is it so important? This resource makes an essential contribution to RE and PSHE teaching through its unique combination of Bible-based material with PSHE themes. 25 lesson plans offer a range of classroom activities, each examining a different emotion through the lens of a story from the Bible. Your students will learn to reflect on the emotions they experience, connect with the emotions experienced by the characters in the stories, and explore ways of handling these emotions positively. - Key Bible stories - Reflections - Classroom activities - Worksheets - Cross-curricular links - Assembly themes
Reviews / Votes
Any volume that announces that it contains 25 lesson-plans for RE will naturally be of immediate interest to practitioners, and especially those who regard RE as a chore. And this is an enterprising volume, because it grasps a nettle that church primary schools often avoid: where does Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) stop, and RE start? Anger and jealousy - the story of Cain and Abel provides a perfect vehicle to do it through RE; let's combine the two. Grief - the story of Job. Loyalty - we can't do better than Ruth and Naomi. And so on. Brilliant. And by my calculations it is 32p a lesson. If that gives me a weekend off from RE preparation, it is worth many times more. Church Times Education Feature, June 2014More details
