Teaching methods

I maintain that learning needs to be active. Listening to someone talk is the least effective method. Planning the activities is the burden of the teacher. I continually pray for creativeness and effectiveness. The computer and printer are my main tools for now. This lesson on God's covenant with Abraham. I thought went over pretty well. We read Genesis 15 together. They tried to count stars I had printed on one sheet. Then we ripped three printouts of animals in half and passed a lit candle through the middle. The next sheet had questions with the answers in a word search. Finally they colored the two scenes of Abraham counting the stars and the fire passing through the animals. I think I enjoyed preparing the class as much as they enjoyed the paper work.
