After finishing the book of Romans, we moved back to a book of history: Acts. The illustration box came back, but smaller, since the girls are older and write more. Notes are more varied. Once in a blue moon we diagram a verse. From time to time we compose acrostic poems. Sometimes we still summarize. But we now frequently write our own questions. This really gets us thinking and wondering, even if we don't find all the answers.
On this page from chapter 2, we diagrammed a key verse (to the best of our ability).
An acrostic:Herod
He persecuted Christians
Eaten by worms
Royal lineage
Oration pleased
Disobedient
Calico's questions about Paul, Silas, and the jailer
Bereans
Bereans in the synagogue
Eagerly received Paul's message.
Receiving it with joy, they
Examined the Scriptures
And believed. Their
Noble character led them to recognize the truth.
A sequence of events
Gingham's questions from yesterday's passage in chapter 25.
Excellent blog. I will be sure to pass this on to my friends with children, as it is a helpful to see how you might spark interest in Bible stories. I taught Acts at the undergraduate level too and so if you had any questions, may be I could help too. Cheers.
