Psalms Insights Part 3

An activity I might have my students do to study this particular theme would be to give them a chance to be student teachers.

As teachers, we don't always have to be the ones doing all the teaching.

You've probably discovered that you, as the teacher, learn far more than what you can share with your students.

So sometimes it's good to give them a little bit of that kind of an experience in your class.

And what you're gonna do is divide them up into groups of four, as much as possible, and give them one of the following handouts and sets of verses to study.

And give them about 10 or 15 minutes to really become familiar with their assigned references and have them write down their answers on their sheet.

And then they can use their notes to give a brief lesson about what they learned with the other three students in their group.

Each is going to take a turn being the student teacher.

And if you look closely at these handouts, you'll notice that the initial question on each one focuses on a different aspect of temple worship from the Psalms.

So each student's thoughts are going to be unique from the others.

Then after that first question, each of the students have the same following two questions to answer.

Of all the verses you studied, which one stood out to you as the most important and why? And then how do you personally feel about the temple? So after they've studied and prepared, each student can go around and get a few minutes to teach the other students in their group.

And when I do this type of activity, I usually like to walk around and listen in on some of the lessons that are being taught.

And I might even select a few to share some of their lesson with the entire class.

Or you could ask for volunteers.

Now for the purposes of this video, I'm going to walk you through the content of each of the handouts with that initial question in mind.
