Getting to know the Ancient Israelites:

Students will read informational text concerning the development of Judaism and the rise of the Ancient Israelites. After reading the text students will answer questions about what they have read. Students will be engaged in coloring a picture of a Jewish temple based on a code made by their answers to the questions. This activity could be completed individually or with a partner.

After students complete the color sheet, they can be hung in a display. The class can also complete follow up questions which add rigor and help students make connections. These questions can be used with early finishers, as a written assignments, or to lead class discussion.

Students will gain a general understanding of the Ancient Israelites.
