Scripture Strategies
This weebly is primarily a teacher resource, providing background information for time-poor teachers. Teachers may like to use films, artwork, music, physical objects to introduce the concepts explored in these Scripture passages. Student inquiry questions can lead to further explorations.
The use of Scripture should be embedded within programs and key concepts explored in a range of inquiry learning experiences. The passages have been chosen based on the Brisbane CE's scope and sequence for Scripture and alignment with curriculum outcomes. Passages with a * have a corresponding Three Worlds of the Text Poster. Links to Scripture are to the Oremus Website but other Bible editions may have slightly different translations. Information has been gathered from "The Collegeville Bible Commentary" and Fr Michael Fallon's extensive analysis.
Ideally, prior to using what is offered here, teachers would read the Scripture and identify any questions that they or their students may have and any opportunities for further exploration. Students are encouraged to use a hard copy of the Bible to find these passages in order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the Christian sacred text.
