Pupils needing extra support:
Could use the QR code for Britannica Kids; could stick to highlighting mentions of significant places and not copy these to the Activity: Jerusalem’s significance; could use the Resource: Sentence stems during the Wrapping up.
Pupils working at greater depth:
Should use the QR code for Stonehenge; should make a note of the extract they are referring to (1, 2 etc) when completing the Activity: Jerusalem’s significance; should identify reasons why places outside of Jerusalem make Jerusalem significant, for example Mount Sinai is where the Ten Commandments were believed to have been given to Moses which were taken to the Temple in Jerusalem; should consider why a non-religious person would think Jerusalem might be a significant place; could explore where the name Israel comes from.
