LESSON PLAN THREE
STEP C Christian Response
Key Understanding Learning Point
C2 Catholics celebrate the two main parts of C2.2 Illustrates furnishings, responses and actions used
the Eucharist during the Liturgy of the Word.
Catholic Teaching Focus for this lesson
During the Last Supper, Jesus and the Apostles listened to and recited passages from the Bible. They
remembered Gods great kindness to the People of Israel.
This is represented through the first part of the Mass when everyone listens and responds to readings
from the Bible. Everyone who is present:
- sits during the first reading
- recites the response between the verses of the Responsorial Psalm
- stands for the Gospel and sits again when the priest explains the readings in the Homily.
Prior Knowledge
In year two, students have visited a Parish Church to learn what furnishings, vessels ect the church
contains. If many students have no understanding or experience may need to re visit church. Students
focus for this area would have been looking at the special actions in and outside of Mass.
Students would have completed lessons that helped them understand as Catholics we celebrate the
Eucharist to say Thank you to God. Understanding that saying thank you is helping our relationship with
God grow closer through the Eucharist.
In their last lesson students would have completed a recall of what is found in the church, through drawing
and labelling the furnishings found within the Church.
Catering for Learner Diversity
Extension students who complete the worksheet ahead of time are able to use the class iPads to film
the reader and responses that will be used during the mass. Students would create a short iMovie film
explaining what is said during the Liturgy of the word.
Engagement through role-play students will be able to actively participate in the activity that
demonstrates the Liturgy of the Word responses. Assistance needed for writing aspect students are able
to have an altered version with less writing and more drawings to help understanding.
Special Considerations during role play for students who struggle in group situations or cannot read
the script have work in a group with the EA or teacher, in a more structured environment where they role
play can be performed a lot slower.
Evidence of Learning for Assessment and Reporting
Students worksheets for the Liturgy of the Word will be marked as students are working to ensure that all
students have completed the correct response
Anecdotal notes will be taken of students in their groups while they are completing their role-play
responses to assess their understanding of the Liturgy of the Word process during Mass.

Mass there is the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the
Eucharist. Both important as the represent the Last Supper.
Today we will look solely at the Liturgy of the Word, this
represents the beginning of the Last Supper where Jesus
and his disciples listen to and recited passages from the
Bible. In groups you will be role-playing the actions and
responses of the Liturgy of the Word, then individually you
will be looking at some pictures and writing down the actions
and responses you role played.
