Task

You are a student visiting ancient Israel around 950 B.C., and you have been writing letters to your family describing your travels. Today, you meet a group of rural farmers who tell you they are going to King Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem. You ask them to tell you more about their lives and their upcoming journey to include in your next letter.

You will work by yourself to research daily life in ancient Israel, the preparations required for a journey to Jerusalem, and the significance of King Solomon and his temple. You will write a letter describing what you have experienced. Then partner with a classmate to read and evaluate each other's letters.
