Big #RW questions

Asking questions and discovering truth

;

This resource takes you to Harvington Hall, a recusant House of Secrets where you learn about the plight of Catholics in the 1600s. Following this are discussion questions on the question of religious freedom and finishing with a personal testimony of a priest from Nigeria who was kidnapped. Suitable for Years 5 & 6 but please watch the testimony before showing it to your students to assess whether to show it to your group or not as it contains information which may be distressing for some.
