Introduction to the Fifth Commandment
OVERVIEW:
Initially, the fifth commandment seems rather straightforward, you shall not kill.
Unfortunately, this isnt the case. What JPII has called our culture of death refers to a
shift in our culture that no longer values human life. The purpose of this lesson plan is
to introduce the students to the fifth commandment and begin discussing its
implications. Thou shall not kill is rooted in Genesis 1:27 and CCC 2319, all human
persons are made in the image and likeness of God. For this unit, the students will
work in groups researching five difficult topics that violate the fifth commandment.
