This thoughtful, creative prompt plants seeds of environmental awareness and makes for a great Earth Day keepsake.

Lesson Plan: The History of Easter

Lesson Plan: The History of Easter
Easter, Holidays, Holiday & Seasonal, Elementary, Middle School, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools, Worksheets & Printables

The main Christian holiday, Easter, commemorates the Resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day following his crucifixion. Although the commemoration of Jesus' Resurrection most likely took place earlier, the first known Easter celebration dates to the second century. In the Christian calendar, Easter comes after Lent, which is 40 days before to Easter (excluding Sundays) and is customarily marked by fasting and penance. 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).
