Today, I made sure that you guys knew the word SECULAR.

Then, we read three short pieces from the KJ Bible: Ecclesiastes 3, Psalm 23, and the Parable of the Prodigal Son.

Make sure that you know that Ecclesiastes is a MAXIM. We also listened to the Byrds song Turn, Turn, Turn.

Ecclesiastes

psalm23

We also talked about how prevalent this Psalm is in our every day life by looking at how often it has been used in music and movies.

And before we started our LAST bit of the day, we watched a short movie based on this parable.

Lastly, we did a foldable. You’ll need to make sure you have summary of each one on top and answer the change in perspective both all three selections.

We started off the day with a pop quiz over the Bible! On my own, I earned 15/25. 1st block (Thanks to Josh A. and Felipe), earned a whopping 19/25. 2nd and 3rd Block earned a measly 14/25.

Then, we read the background of the King James Bible and discussed what the differences are between teaching the Bible as Literature (or History) and a religion class.

Then, we read Ecclesiastes 3:1 –

This was the perfect example of how the Bible can be considered a piece of literature.

Then, we read Psalms 3:1

This was an example of how the Bible can be literature and still be a religious text at the same time.

Then, we read our last bit for the day – the Parable of the Prodigal Son:

If we had time, Riley played a game where she played music and you had to find the what part of the Bible it was alluding to (one of the three things we just read), but this wasn’t a grade.

Lastly, we answered three questions in the discussion board – The Bible as Literature Discussion Board. Make sure you REPLY to each question – you can find REPLY in the lower left hand corner of your screen.

We started out today with a discussion board about where we find wisdom. Make sure that you list ONE place or person where you find wisdom. Read your classmates, and rate them on how helpful they are.

WE then read the Article Bible as Literature and and answered the Discussion Board questions: Bible as Literature. Only three questions – pretty simple.

As of right now, 7 students would take a Bible as Literature class here at Vistas; * would pass it. Pair has two votes to teach the class, Schinderling has 1 vote to teach it, Riley has1 vote, and Gonzalez has one vote.

We read the King James Background. Get the notes from a classmate.

We read Ecclesiastes  3:1 and listened to the song Turn, Turn, Turn. Get the notes from a classmate.
