Description
Book SynopsisUsing Elijah to talk about God (1st and 2nd grade); discussing justness based on Micah and Isaiah (3rd and 4th grade); learning with Jonah how patient and merciful God is (3rd and 4th grade): for all these exercises this volume provides the necessary instructions and materials.Three teaching models are employed here: recounting to children the biographies of the prophets who discuss God and the presence of good and evil - this covers the most important areas of biographical narration and learning. Narrative ethics means confronting and discussing such questions with children - this fulfills the goal of theologising with children. Asking children about God's will in the modern world and conceiving of images of a just world - this ensures an exchange of ideas beyond the classroom situation.Each of these three modules contains the following:- An introduction to the Biblical background and comments on didactic methods- An overview of the learning possibilities- Suggestions for telling and discussing the story- Guidelines for discussion- Suggestions for setting up tasks- Worksheets
