One God and the Covenant

Explore the sraelite belief with this scaffolded, fill-in-the-blank guided notes activity on monotheism and the covenant. Built for grades 5–8 history and social studies, this print-and-go resource turns an important topic into clear, connected notes students can follow and remember.

As students read, they discover the central idea of monotheism, the covenant the Israelites believed they shared with God as a chosen people, the Hebrew Bible’s story of Moses and the Exodus, the Ten Commandments, and how the Torah became the foundation of Judaism. Religious narratives are presented as the tradition of the Hebrew Bible. Each short section builds on the one before it, so students see how the beliefs connect. A built-in word bank supports striving readers and English learners, while the guided structure keeps the whole class on pace.

This resource includes:

• A one-page, fill-in-the-blank guided notes worksheet
• A complete, ready-to-grade answer key
• A word bank for built-in scaffolding and differentiation
• An interactive, self-checking digital version

Perfect for a unit on ancient Israel, sub plans, homework, or review. Aligned to C3 and Common Core literacy standards. Just print and teach—no prep required.
