Year 6 Term 1 Religion Assignment - Images of Jesus
The Gospel Writers; Matthew, Mark, Luke and John have all described Jesus in very different ways throughout the New Testament. As part of creating your own clearer understanding of Jesus including his teachings and actions, it is important that you are able to identify the many different images used to portray him.
Task: In groups of five, students are to individually choose an account from one of the gospel writers. You will then need to present those five different gospel accounts to the class by using freeze frames. Each student will be responsible for directing the frozen image, announcing the title and reference, and explaining what the image says about who Jesus is.
Checklist: o Form a group of five students.
o Choose a gospel writer (Matthew, Mark, Luke or John) to focus on as a group.
o Each group member must find a gospel account from the Bible that presents / tells / describes an image of Jesus.
o Each individual needs to plan their own freeze frame based on their chosen gospel account.
o That person must then elaborate on their freeze frame to the class while it is being performed. This includes announcing the title and reference from the Bible and most importantly; explaining what the image says about who Jesus is.
