The Bible tells the story of God’s plan to save human beings from sin and bring them to eternal life. The history of that saving plan as told through the Scriptures is called salvation history. Some people divide the Bible’s account of salvation history into eight major periods. Here is a brief description of those periods… Color Coded not taking tasks for important terms. Two Full-Length Assignments Full Lesson On Salvation History on PowerPoint with visuals and graph timelines.

Teaching Through Story-Telling… Our Savior, Jesus Christ, taught his gospel through stories and parables. The stories he used fit the times and circumstances of the people. He trained his followers to look at life with spiritual eyes so they too could see gospel messages in everyday situations. Fables and tales have been passed down from all generations with this same purpose. During this difficult time for us, in the pandemic, it is important to remember to connect with God and ourselves. It is a time for prayer, and reflection. It is hard for us to put others ahead of ourselves- but selflessness is the purest form of “humanity”.

INTRO LESSON PLAN- A great interactive idea is having the students analyze the front cover of the novel and talk about the symbolism of mirrors, glass and broken glass. I start discussing the theme of identity, true friendship, peer pressure, the beauty of scars and the pains of growing. I connect that to prejudice, making mistakes, believing in second chances, and the power of forgiveness. I do this by teaching the famous anecdote in the Bible where Jesus dares those without sin to cast a stone at another. After I show them the video clip attached, and teach them the article, I give each student a stone and a marker… I ask each to anonymously write down something they wish they could take back or let go of and ask them to drop the stone in a class bucket when they are done (no one is ever allowed to look at another stone in the bucket) At the end of the novel we go back to the stones, and we read each one by one [anonymously] . We then ask each other for forgiveness and to let go of all the things written on those stones. As a class we walk outside under a tree and bury the stones learning what it means to REPENT and become a better person and strive to be better moving forward SYNOPSIS: The First Stone Background. First published in 2003, The First Stone is a fictional novel about a troubled boy and a grieving girl, both running their own course to heal their broken pasts. Reef, the main character, cannot contain his anger after his grandmother’s passing - the only person he felt really loved him Leeza, the supporting character feels like her life has been turned upside down and kicked away after her older sister dies. Don Aker crafts a special and clever plot, making the two characters’ lives collide in unexpected ways. The novel is recommended to readers in their mid-teens because of some mature content and “a fair bit of swearing”. Though it is dark story, Aker manages to inject some humor and light into the complicated and heavy plot. The book has a sequel called The Fifth Rule, published in 2011.

When it comes to essays students seem to hit a snag on interesting, authentic scholarly primary and secondary sources. I just added some samples that you could share with them on animal cruelty. Beautifully Blinded – The Ugly Secret of the Beauty Industry By E. Caracciolo, January 2017, My-Pet-Story.com Whether conducting research in the social sciences, humanities (especially history), arts, or natural sciences, the ability to distinguish between primary and secondary source material is essential. Basically, this distinction illustrates the degree to which the author of a piece is removed from the actual event being described, informing the reader as to whether the author is reporting impressions first hand (or is first to record these immediately following an event), or conveying the experiences and opinions of others—that is, second hand.

This worksheet should be used as a practice learning tool after teaching how to analyze a poem, the purpose of figurative language, and be able to locate and explain the function of rhetorical devices. Students should understand paradox, anaphora, antithesis, euphemism ( advanced level), POV, purpose and audience. Learning strands:  Analysing Texts 1.6 analyse texts in terms of the information, ideas, issues, or themes they explore, examining how various aspects of the texts contribute to the presentation or development of these elements (e.g., determine whether repeated sounds, words, or phrases in a poem reinforce its theme; determine how a story might change if it were narrated by one of the other characters in the story; determine how altering the punctuation could affect the message of an advertisement)  Elements of Style 2.3 identify several different elements of style in texts and explain how they help communicate meaning and enhance the effectiveness of the text (e.g., evocative language may be used to create a particular mood in a novel; incongruous words and phrases may be used to create a humorous effect in a short story; a repeated phrase in a song lyric helps to emphasize the theme; the use of words with several connotations can add extra levels of meaning in a poem; alliteration in a magazine or online advertising slogan can help make readers remember the slogan – and the product) Teacher prompt: “What is the effect or mood created by this passage? What words contribute to that effect? Would the effect be enhanced or diminished if different words were used?”
