This exercise recognises the diverse backgrounds Year 8 students bring with them to Christian Studies classes. The object of this exercise is for students to articulate prior knowledge and, through sharing this knowledge, discover that we often know more than we originally thought.
Lesson: Go through one by one. Not a test, but still a silent activity.
� 6 things I know about people in the bible
� 5 things I know about stories from the bible
� 4 things I know about Jesus
� 3 things I know about what God is like
� 2 things I know about places in the bible
� 1 thing that I don't know about God but would like to know
Once completed, brain storm on whiteboard. This shows how much as a class we know. Sheets collected for portfolios.
