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.

Ecclesiastes

psalm23And lastly:

Prodigal Son 1Prodigal Son 2

Then, we filled in a list of common phrases that you hear in every day life. Even if you don’t know a blank, make sure that you still fill it in. Take a guess! I promise, you’ll be surprised at how many you actually know when you get the answer sheet. 🙂 The big surprise? All of those phrases came from the Bible!

We read Psalm 23 today – make sure that you get the notes from another student.

Afterwards, we listened/read Gangsta’s Paradise and did the foldable – Folding Venn Diagram. You are are going to compare/contrast Psalm 23 with Gangsta’s Paradise. Make sure you have three differences and three similarities. Print, cut, and fold and turn in to Riley.

We read the Prodigal Son (copy/paste the definition of prodigal into your copy of the text). Get the notes from another classmate. We can easily see the difference between the Bible as Literature and theology with this story.

Riley then explained that tomorrow, we are writing a parable to explain/prove a maxim or a proverb. She has a list of proverbs to choose from, and you need to find a proverb that you like/find insightful, and explain it (in the drop box entitled Maxim for Modern Day Parable).
