Class work

Part 1: Individually brainstorm and list major people (key stories from their lives) and events from the Bible,
Part 2: Get with a partner and compare lists and prioritize them
Part 3: Read or listen to Acts chapter 7 and compare your list with Stephens

Part 5: Read or listen to Hebrews 11 and do the same as you did in part 3 and 4
Part 6: Revise your list and develop a rational as to why you think the stories you chose are important.

Now we will work as a whole class to develop a list from what you have done

Class work part 7: Make it personal:  Write a reflection on one of the following:

Do you think that the Bible is all true, partly true or not very true and explain why?
How does your view of the Bible affect the way that you interact with God and others?
Why do you think that people have different ideas about what is important in the Bible (and how to interpret it) and how can we know what is important (or the right way to interpret it)

Start working on your Assessment:

First you will need to choose a format (do not start making the product)
Next use your list and begin to prepare a summary of the content. You will need a short summary of each of the key stories that you will put in your book.

Next Lesson will focus on how to connect the individual stories into one complete story
