Having explored the concept of sacrifice, a Year 7 class engages with the Sikh story of the sacrifice of Guru Tegh Bahadur. They begin by reading about the Guru, his character and values. Once they have gained a basic knowledge of the story, the pupils are then asked to think empathetically about the key players. The class is divided into small groups, with each group acting out a short scene from the story, ending with a tableau of a climatic moment. In the second part of the lesson, four pupils are chosen to play the key figures of the story while others devise, write and then pitch a range of questions to them. This hot seating shows the progression in both knowledge and understanding that pupils can make through the lesson
