Exit Lesson

Death penalty

In this lesson we will begin our eleventh lesson in the unit on religion, crime and punishment. This lesson refers to methods of execution and the death penalty. If this is a sensitive topic to you, we recommend checking with a trusted adult before starting or doing the lesson with a trusted adult nearby. We will be focusing on the Christian, Islamic and non-religious views on the death penalty. Please make sure you have a pen and paper ready, and have cleared a quiet space for you to work in. If you have the TV or music on and can turn it off, please do. If you are not using your mobile phone for the lesson, it is best to put it to one side so you are not distracted by it. You will also need two different coloured pens: black or blue and another coloured pen, such as green or red. Click start when you are ready to think hard!
