Can you see Dr. MacCullough’s guiding questions being valuable to you in creating biblically integrated units/lessons? How do you envision implementing them in your planning process?
-
Absolutely. I already use these types of questions within individual lessons, but I like the idea of keeping the list of questions by me for planning at the unit level.

This lecture actually helped put things into perspective. I would set up my planning template with these questions integrated in my mapping sheets. I also like the idea of having 3×5 cards with these questions on hand, so that I can really think about them during the curriculum mapping portion and then further break down how that will look in daily lesson planning. While it may take some getting used to, like anything else, once you consistently utilize the guiding questions, I agree it will become second nature.
-
Yes they are valuable. These are questions the students will be faced with and if we give a biblical worldview answer, the students will be better equipped.
-
They are very helpful to me. I plan on listing them at the bottom of my lesson plan template, specifically so I can remember to cover multiple aspects of biblical integration.

Oh yes I see them as being incredibly helpful, particularly the questions pertaining to reality, truth, and morality. Being a math teacher, we discuss absolutes all of the time (ex: 2 plus 2 always equals 4). It would be so easy to turn that into a discussion of how can we know the absolutes of life, not just math, or whether there are any at all. Math can also lead into a discussion of reality. Did we discover math or are we creating math to fit reality? Why/How is our world so orderly that it fits absolute mold of mathematics? These would be great questions to introduce any middle or high school math course with!
