Colourful powerpoints you can show and add material to. sample To use skimming and scanning skills to read information texts and identify the main features in structure and language. I can identify the features of an information text. I can create subheadings for my information text. I can choose relevant information for my note taking.

What was Jesus’ response on each occasion? Why do you think these three things were chosen to tempt Jesus? Jesus was as human as you and me, in all but sin, and yet at the same time he was Gods’ Son. Do you really think it was difficult for him to say no to the devil? Why do you think it might have been difficult? Look at the text again. Are there any indicators, which show that this was easy?
