Lesson Plan: The History of Easter

By Bright Classroom Ideas Marketplace

Holy Week, which encompasses Good Friday, the day of Jesus' crucifixion; Maundy Thursday, the celebration of his Last Supper with his followers; and Holy Saturday, the period between his crucifixion and resurrection, comes right before Easter.

This lesson plan on the history of Easter will last 90 minutes. It includes the various teaching stages and their duration. Photocopiable students' worksheet are also included, along with their answer sheet. The lesson plan uses the video 'History of the Holidays: Easter' by the acclaimed History Channel (YouTube link in the content).
