LC: To discuss why many people are willing to make sacrifices. 

Sacrifice: to give up something of value for someone else

What things do you value in life?

Think about yourself, the people around you and the things you possess.

Create a list in your RE book.

  Example: 

Miss Hall's list of values 

- her family

- her friends

- her bed

- her car

- cheese

-free time

Imagine Miss Hall has just bought a lovely wheel of French brie cheese. 

She plans to go home and eat it with some lovely, warm crusty bread. Her mouth is watering at the thought of it. As she walks home with this French brie cheese, she notices someone sitting on the pavement. 

Should she make a sacrifice and give up her cheese that she loves so much to feed a hungry man that she doesn't even know?

What are you reasons for this?
