The Gospels

The focus of today's class — the Gospels:

• Explore "perspective sharing" by developing student's ability to see and understand other points of view
• Emphasize the variation of detail and emphasis in the four Gospels, while recalling God ensures sacred truth of the text through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit
• Immerse themselves in the richness of the Gospel accounts of the Last Supper and learn more about who Jesus is

My slides for today's class:

Notes:

• NO Game Show Catechism today. I'm simply not in the mood. Besides we have a lot of ground to cover today.
• I'm looking forward to today's discussion. Sixth graders tend to want a too-simple explanation or understanding of an event. This will be a chance to get them to consider alternative viewpoints.
• My son and myself will be "acting" for the "Movies Review" portion. Having my son act out may bring the class out of control, since it's already crammed in that classroom — but, then, the chaos will add a layer of complexity to the student's later noting their recollection of the event.
