Some students handed in their assignments early (most will come in tomorrow) - That work covering the Story of Abraham work, and the Ten Commandments work (all one package of questions) is due tomorrow. See previous blog posts for more specific instructions.
Students shared their notes with group mates (and should transcribe the notes from their pictures).
We discussed the pagan roots of some Christian celebrations, and the possibility of a comet being what is noted as the Star of Bethlehem in story.
We watched a short video on the story of the life of Jesus, and students are using that video, along with "The Story of Jesus" package they got yesterday to create a mind map.
Students should not spend excessive amounts of time on the work. This is a practice run - they should do a good job, and ensure they need no more than about 25 minutes of tomorrow's class to finish up.
Possible categories to help organize the maps:
- His Teachings
- Death
- Birth
- Miracles performed
- Resurrection
Students are welcome to add more/different categories, but key information should be present (and they should not spend excessive time on the work).
As per the rubric, students should focus on a clear central image/topic, clear ideas connected to the central topic (moving from complex out to least complex), key images/words, Colour to illustrate connections between ideas, and actual content from both the printed story and the film.
It's a busy time! Let's get through tomorrow, so we can have a little fun on Friday :)
