The Gospels unplugged - Lucy Moore

Drawn from all four Gospels, the pieces featured here are "unplugged" in that they get to the heart of the biblical text, reflecting the life of Jesus in action by discovering who he is, and what he said and did. Some tell the story, some explore an aspect of the original account, and many pieces include children. Likewise, some of the pieces are meant to be performed and others enjoyed quietly which enables cross-curricular teaching linking RE to literacy and drama.;The passage being studied will invoke differing types of creative writing in relation to Jesus' life and actions, ranging in mood from serious to funny. Each piece comes with a short introduction of open ended questions to encourage further exploration of the original story and the relevant Bible passage for ease of reference. Further assistance comes by a comprehensive cross-reference index to themes, verse forms and Bible references.;This title is aimed at independent readers at Key Stage 2 or those supervised by teachers in primary education, church based children's leaders, clergy and lay ministers involved in all age worship.
