Mere Christianity Bundle – 39-slide PP, Tests, Discussion Qs, Vocabulary

Item description

This bundle includes a variety of materials for C.S Lewis’ book Mere Christianity. Details below:

Product 1: Tests, Discussion Qs and Vocabulary for Mere Christianity

2 Comprehensive tests covering the entirety of Mere Christianity (The first test covers Book 1, Chapter 1 through Book 3, Chapter 5. The second covers Book 3, Chapter 6 through Book 4, Chapter 11) Answer keys are included. Each test consists of 40 multiple choice questions (30 on comprehension, 10 on vocabulary). The vocabulary questions are on a separate page, so they can be left out if a test on purely comprehension is desired.

– 33 study questions (one for each chapter) for further review and personal application. These questions have been designed to draw students into a deeper understanding of the topics covered in Mere Christianity, while also encouraging them to make personal applications from the text to their own lives. The length and quality of the required answers can be determined by the individual teacher. Teachers may also wish to use some of the more challenging questions as individual writing assignments or as essay questions for the tests.

– 33 high school level vocabulary words. A table is included which shows each word, its part of speech, its definition, and the specific chapter it occurs in. Since not all the words occur on the tests, the Excel file also includes a column indicating which words are on the tests and which are not.

Product 2: Detailed PowerPoint (39 slides) / Study Guide for Mere Christianity

– Information about the background, key points, and key terms found in each chapter.

– Notes accompanying each slide, which provide a summary of the corresponding chapter and raise points for possible class discussion.

– A slide giving a brief biography of C.S. Lewis

(Note: the download also includes a PDF version of the PowerPoint. I personally recommend giving the PDF to students as a study guide, as it is easier to scroll through on a phone.)
