Art or "Construction" Workshop Lesson Idea
Students construct a Model of the Temple where Jesus worshiped, learned, and taught.
The Temple resource comes from the Rotation.org Writing Team's Computer Workshop lesson -used here with permission. That lesson includes a REFLECTION activity titled, "Where do you stand in the Temple?" (How close to God do you feel? Which court are you in? etc.) The reflection idea is based on tradition of areas in the Temple that some people were not allowed to go to, or needed to be of higher status, and the idea that they had back then that God was in the inner sanctum of the Temple, so you wanted to get close to it if you could.
