A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Teach resurrection, disciple and sacrifice with the page 2 glossary before handing out the puzzle.
- Let learners identify familiar words such as Sunday and church to start the grid.
- Have pairs connect story-related clues while checking the spelling of the longer terms.
- Use the key to check the specialist vocabulary and ask students to explain one answer from a clue.
Support and extension
A small bank of the specialist words can support learners who have little background knowledge of the festival.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
