Session 4: Embrace & Apply

Discuss It!

• Why is additional content important to biblical integration?
• What benefits and concerns are there in having a goal of one additional content per unit?

Try it!

• Identify a specific unit/Use Provided Sample Unit (Recommended FLI Content here)
• Ask: What content will help equip my students to answer the question, “How will this help me in my life-long pursuit…?”
  • Use FLI content to identify content (answers to questions):
  • Identify the unit concepts
  • Ask the How/Why questions
  • Look by subject/strand
  • Look for keyword
  • Write one additional concept (objective/goal) for the unit (in the BI field). 

Curriculum Trak Connection: Curriculum Trak’s Faith Learning Content (produced by Dr. Mark Eckel) is a great resource for introducing high-level content into your units. The e-book in Other Curriculum and the ability to drop content directly into a unit plan can support a teacher’s efforts in this area. See a demonstration here.
