The Apostles

Learning about the Apostles is now tons of fun when you utilize this three part mini-unit on God and His Apostles!! Read, write, explore, create, pray, reflect, and learn about the 14 unique men (the original 12, Judas's replacement and Paul!) that not only were Jesus's closest friends, but helped establish the Church here on earth!

Unit Learning Target: I can explain who God’s apostles were and their importance in our faith.
Essential Questions: Who were the apostle’s? Why do we remember them?

Catholic educators know that religious instruction is not solely education, but also formation. Rather than the transference of knowledge, it is the transformation of the heart. Religious instruction aims to not only deepen student understanding of their faith, but also help form and develop them into disciples of Christ. It is therefore crucial that the instruction we provide is solid in both doctrine and research based pedagogy.

This product was therefore purposefully designed to take into consideration both the research behind effective religious instruction and the Church’s push for engagement. It is my hope that it will support teachers in providing meaningful religious instruction for their students about the organization of the Church.

This three part lesson, includes resources and activities for teachers to promote and deepen student understanding of their faith by incorporating a variety of learning methods and strategies. Grounded in essential questions and mastery objectives and concluded with a task based assessment, students will have a chance to read, write, explore, create, pray and reflect on the teachings of the Church.

The integration of literacy, art and technology further promotes a chance for students to engage with the content in ways that encourage a hands-on-approach to their formation.
