Cavan Wood has been a Head of RE for 20 years. He has written books on teaching RE including The RE Teacher's Handbook (Continuum) and textbooks for Key Stages 3 and 4 as well as PSHE resources. He has also written for assembly resources and is a regular book reviewer. He is interested in films, books and politics.
Any volume that announces that it contains 25 lesson-plans for RE will naturally be of immediate interest to practitioners, and especially those who regard RE as a chore. And this is an enterprising volume, because it grasps a nettle that church primary schools often avoid: where does Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) stop, and RE start? Anger and jealousy - the story of Cain and Abel provides a perfect vehicle to do it through RE; let's combine the two. Grief - the story of Job. Loyalty - we can't do better than Ruth and Naomi. And so on. Brilliant. And by my calculations it is 32p a lesson. If that gives me a weekend off from RE preparation, it is worth many times more. Church Times Education Feature, June 2014
