Jesus' Temptations

This resource was designed with the new worldviews curriculum in mind. The bundle traces some key events in the life of Jesus. This third resource is about Temptation, what they are, some of the temptations of Jesus, a role play of the 40 days in the desert and the influence this story has on Christians today. The homework is about Messiahs, the lesson is a little shorter so you can introduce the homework in time as it’s a new topic, but it is clear enough students can follow along. Review at the beginning of the following class.

This is a KS3 resource, year 7s-9. I have added in an extra short resource if you wish to expand it further to consider Jesus as Messiah. You could also consider discussing the Parables, Holy week, Life after death etc if you want to spread it out for a term. Otherwise this resource set can be completed in a half term if done efficiently. I personally try to cover a lot in KS3 and move through topics quite swiftly but there is also benefits to stretching this material out, to use the HW sheets as in class materials and then offer shorter homework tasks from textbooks etc.

All resources should be supplemented with effective questioning to reap the best results! ‘Tell me more about that?’ ‘Does anyone disagree?’ ‘Why might Jesus have done this?’ etc.
