Assessment Write a detailed answer to the question ‘was God right to punish the Egyptians?’, following the structured grid given to you in your lesson. Remember to refer to the ideas that came up during the class debate. You must refer to the opinions of both the Egyptian and Israelite people, as well as your own, backed up with reasons and explanations. Try to explain whether or not you think that God was right to punish all of the Egyptian people for the Pharaoh’s choices, when they might not necessarily have all been responsible. Extension : You might also want to suggest how God might have dealt with the situation better, by considering his omnipotent and omnibenevolent nature. #2 : Moral Issues- alcohol awareness Literacy Task: Write a speech (at least 350 words in length) that could be read out in an assembly to warn young people about the dangers of underage drinking.
