Year Level Unit Title Salvation Topic Aspect of Human Development
4 4.2: Lent/ Easter Lent/ Easter People show love and forgiveness
Overview – explanation of the content of the unit and how it explores the Salvation Topic and development of the Human Person

The content of the unit is split into key understandings and learning points of three topics taught sequentially and in order: Human Person, Jesus and Church.

The Human Person Topic enables students to identify and relate to the key understanding and learning points from their own context as a Human Person. As
relating is fundamental in students engaging and connecting with the Topic, learning activities that involve sharing with others, personal contexts and
exploring our experiences in relation to the topic are used in the unit. The terminology required to achieve a sound understanding of the salvation topic
(Lent/ Easter) such as ‘forgiveness’ and ‘mercy’ are explored in depth by enabling the students to reflect on their own experiences to consolidate their
understanding and use the terms in new and different contexts. Students discover, through interactive, relevant and meaningful activities that reflect
theories such as Gardiner’s Multiple Intelligences and cooperative learning, that people can show love and forgiveness.

The Jesus topic explores three key understandings that together position students to recognise that because God always forgives and Christ Jesus forgave, so
too can we. This topic is taught with lots of interactive learning opportunities for students to familiarise themselves with the content with the intention of
applying the lessons learnt into their daily life such as: role playing forgiveness and creating posters that explain how to forgive and ask for forgiveness from
others. Students explore the significance of Ash Wednesday in order to carry out Lenten promises and practice forgiveness, mercy and love during the Lent
season.

The Church topic incorporates the Spiritual and Corporal acts of Mercy and how, during Lent, these acts are focussed on as they help make the world
become a better place. Lent follows the lead up to Easter. An important element of this understanding the significance of the sacrifice Jesus made for us.
Students participate in activities such as a mini stations of the cross QR code hunt alongside creating and reflecting on artwork to foster a deeper
understanding of the true meaning of Lent/Easter.

The religious, spiritual and general capabilities have been embedded into the learning activities. In each lesson, the key understanding and the targeted
learning point is highlighted. The assessment for each lesson directly correlates to the learning point. As each lesson provides an opportunity to informally
assess students level understanding/ achievement of a learning point, an assessment spreadsheet is referred to and cited as a means of the teacher ensuring
their assessments are on track and each child and their journey through religious education is being noted and fostered.

Catholic World View and Teacher Witness

As a part of my teaching philosophy, I firmly believe that students connect with the content when they have the opportunity to practice and apply it. Through
learning by doing, I feel as though my students are positioned to understand and connect with the learning points in a way that can be applied outside of the
classroom. In the hopes that students will participate and engage in key discussions and share experiences, so too will I when talking about my own Lenten
promises and how I plan to carry it out as a model for the students. In doing this, the students are positioned to feel as though nothing is being asked of them
that their teacher isn’t willing to do also. This encouragement of sharing is further fostered through small group and whole class displays of activities relating
to Lent/ Easter.

The Catholic Church believes that by loving one another, the disciples imitate the love of Jesus which they themselves receive (Catechism of the Catholic
Church, 1993, 1823). Through the progression of the learning and teaching sequence, students are scaffolded with identifying love, mercy and forgiveness,
what they look, sound and feel like, why they should act in accordance and how they can demonstrate love, mercy and forgiveness.

The Catholic Church believes that Justice involves respecting the rights of each person and to establish harmony that promotes equity and leads one to
common good (CCC, 1807). This notion of justice is explored in regards to showing mercy and love for others even if they have been hurt or offended in
some way as when people show mercy and forgive others, they make their own and others’ lives more peaceful.

Fortitude, in regards to perseverance in difficulties in the pursuit of goodness (CCC, 1808), is embedded in the lessons as students make and follow through
with their Lenten promises. In a similar way, temperance is exercised by students being positioned to find balance and the goodness in situations and people
(CCC, 1809).

Faith is fundamental for salvation (CCC, 1816). As the unit of work explores forgiveness, love and mercy, the religious capability of faith is nurtured through
students understanding the need for genuity and sincerity in asking for forgiveness. Similarly, the religious capability of Charity is exercised and fostered
through exploring the Spiritual and corporal acts of Mercy is which through participating in acts of mercy or describing them, students understanding of
charity is nourished.
