Is there Life After Death? A Christian and Muslim Perspective KS3

A ready to use Religious Studies lesson (from KS3 upwards) which introduces the concept of life after death. The lesson is fully editable and includes activities/resources to cover 60 minutes.
The lesson is thought provoking and engaging allowing students to explore and challenge beliefs.

Students learn to recognise the similarities/differences between the Christian teachings of life after death and those found in Islam. Students are challenged to create their own knowledge organisers, to extend their vocabulary and to draw upon information to analyse and evaluate their own beliefs by answering a written enquiry-based question. This is scaffolded and built upon throughout the lesson so that students can then do do a deep dive into not only what they think but why. The lesson also includes an optional homework task, whereby students have to create a travel brochure using either the Christian or Muslim beliefs about life after death or they can create their own ‘place’ where people go after death.
