LESSON PLAN TWO B- The promise of Christian Salvation

Teaching Focus for the lesson Aspect of the Human person

This unit introduces to the children that one can draw closer
to Jesus by taking the Eucharist. The unit studies how Jesus
changed the bread and wine into his Body and Blood during
the Last Supper and during every Mass ever since.
One can draw closer to God through creation and the Eucharist
Key Understanding/ Learning Point
B2- Jesus gave the Eucharist so his followers could draw closer to him
Learning Point
B2.1- Retells incidents from the Last Supper

Students will learn that when they come to make their Holy
Communion next year, and when they receive the Eucharist
for the first time, they will have become closer to Jesus in a
way unlike any other. They learn that by receiving the
Eucharist one has been given the opportunity to live a more
Christ-like life by loving others when it is difficult and doing
what it right.
Spiritual and Religious capabilities:
Hope- to follow and become a disciple of Jesus
Justice- to relate and become loving
General capabilities:
Ethical understanding- reflecting on ethical action
Personal and Social- make decisions, work collaboratively, work
independently and show initiative

Lesson Objective
As a result of this lesson students will be able to:
1. Recall the story of the Last Supper
2. Recognise that Jesus Body and Blood is transformed into the bread and wine at Mass
3. Identify the two ways that the Eucharist helps one to live as God wishes (love others when it is difficult, do what is right more often)
Timing Steps of the Lesson Resources

5 min Introduction
1. Students to be seated on the mat and discuss the sacrament of the
Eucharist

What is the Eucharist?

Who gets to have the Eucharist and Wine at mass?
 Why do we make our First Holy Communion- what is it for?

50min Strategies for Learning and Teaching

1. Expand on last question and student answer, explaining the purpose of the
Eucharist and how it helps us to live more like Christ

During his life on earth Jesus showed in many ways he had the power to
love and do good. Jesus has the power to help people love and to do good
more often. With the help of this power, his followers are capable of loving
and doing good in ways they could not by their own efforts. Sharing Jesus Special Meal- Year 3

To draw on Jesus power, we have to keep a close relationship with Him.

The Eucharist is one of the ways we can remain close to Jesus. Those who
receive the Eucharist during Holy Communion draw closer to Jesus in a way
unlike any other. As a person takes the Eucharist, it helps them to:
1. Love others when it is difficult
2. To do what is right more often Last Supper Godly Play kit:
Godly Play script.
2. Briefly explain the purpose of the Last Supper Jesus and Disciple figures
Table, small jug and bread props
Jesus showed his follower that he had the power of God by performing cloth (colour appropriate to timeline
miracles. One of his greatest miracles being when he changed the bread in Church)
and wine into His Body and Blood. This miracle is repeated every time his
followers gather to celebrate the Eucharist to the Mass

3. Tell the story of the Last Supper using a Godly Play kit. Teacher to read
Godly Play script provided and place down and use the appropriate items
when necessary.

4. Ask students at which point in Mass does Jesus repeat this miracle.
Expand on student answer.
 Jesus repeats this miracle today in Australia every time a priest repeat the
actions and words Jesus performed at the Last Supper- particularly when
he is preparing the Eucharist for those at Mass. Jesus does this because he
wants all believers to lover others and do good more often.

5. Based on their multiple intelligence (or an activity which theyd prefer to do)
students respond to what they have learnt about the Last Supper and the
Eucharist.

Each of the multiple intelligence activities will be distributed around Multiple Intelligence activities/resources
the classroom in a station-like manner and students are responsible
for finding their correct station and completing one of the two-three
activities best suited to their learning style. Teacher is to go through
each of the activities with students prior to them beginning.
An explanation of each activity will be distributed per station (for
assignment purposes activities are presented in a grid below)
Teacher to observe students as they complete their activities to
ensure on-task behaviour and progress

Hope- if their activity lends to it, some students are given the opportunity
to reflect how they can follow and become a disciple of Jesus by loving
others when it is difficult and doing what is right more often
Justice- if their activity lends to it, some students are given the opportunity
to reflect upon how they can relate and becoming more loving like Christ
in their lives by loving others when it is difficult and doing what is right
more often
Ethical understanding- activities enable students to think about how even
though they havent made their first Holy Communion yet, they are able to
live like Christ through ethical action- loving others when it is difficult and
doing what is right more often
Personal and Social- all the MI activities enable students to develop their
collaborative working skills, or independent working skills and their ability
to make decisions and show initiative

5min Conclusion
1. Bring class back to the mat. Have students share examples of the activity
they completed and the work they produced.
2. Reinforce and highlight with the students the special miracle Jesus
performed at this meal: the changing of the bread and wine into this Body
and Blood and that as people today receive Jesus in Holy Communion,
Jesus draws them closer and helps them to:
love others when it is difficult to do so
do what is right more often.

Catering for Learner Diversity
MI grid to cater for all learning types
Some activities are non-denominational and require
students to think about ways that they can love others
when it is difficult or do what is right more often (as
opposed to those based on the Last Supper)
Evidence of Learning for Assessment and Reporting
Recognise that Jesus miracle of changing the bread and wine into
His Body and Blood is also performed at Mass
Recall that the Eucharist enables one to love others when it is
difficult and to do what it right
Recall the story of the Last Supper
