Lent & Holy Week Unit with PowerPoint, Guided Notes, and Test. Print and Teach!

This is EVERYTHING you need to teach about Lent and Holy Week!

This all-inclusive unit contains everything you will need to teach the basics about Lent and Holy Week. It includes the Catholic guidelines for fasting and abstinence as well as information on the traditional services for Ash Wednesday, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter Sunday. The students will read their way through the scriptures and summarize each portion of the Passion and Resurrection of Christ.

This lesson plan includes a PowerPoint presentation that contains all the words you will need to lead the students through the guided notes. It's a compulsive 85 slides of information!

There are two PowerPoint versions...one with images and one without. You can open the version with images and you're ready to present. Or, you can take some time to add your own pictures so you can choose serious or silly to engage your class in the lesson. The slides are ready for pictures and adding that should take about 20-30 minutes, then you're ready to present.

The guided notes are easy for any level of student to complete as you work through the PowerPoint. It's simple enough that the basic students can complete the notes. There are also numerous open-ended questions to challenge the more advanced students.

The test includes multiple-choice, matching, and short answer questions. The questions are pretaught in the packet with a review guide so the students can be completely prepared for the exam. Answers are listed in the PowerPoint.

If you want to add a quick read-aloud to the lesson, The Tale of Three Trees: A Traditional Folktale is my favorite!
