8.4 RS : Rites of Passage - Monday 9th January

Heaven & Hell

If you have not yet submitted your Home work from last lesson - complete it now and post it on the blog page here.

In todays lesson you will need to continue exploring the theme of What happens when we die.

Prepare a presentation of 'Heaven and Hell' it should consist of 2 slides in powerpoint and a script that you will present to the group in our next lesson.

Make sure you follow these instructions:

•  Prepare 1 slide showing Heaven (this can use images or words or sound, whatever you think)
•  Prepare 1 slide showing Hell (this can use images or words or sound, whatever you think)
• Prepare a 1 minute verbal presentation (type a script)  that explains why your Heaven and Hell are as you have shown them and how and who decides which one you go to when you die.
• Read you script out aloud to a friend and time it, 1 minute may not seem like a long time but you must make sense and get your views across effectively.
• You must bring your script to the next lesson, you must also post it on the BLOG below, it will then be published when we have the lesson.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts in the lesson on the 23rd January!
