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?
-
Dr. MacCullough’s questions takes the lesson planning process beyond just the state standards to integrate a Biblical worldview lesson. These questions will help guide the lessons and integrate God’s word throughout the lesson and base the topic taught on truth, the firm foundation.

I think these questions are very valuable. It is important for every person to respond to these questions and more important to teachers who are leading children to answer these questions. I have implemented these questions by allowing students to ask big questions. I have a bulletin board where students can ask questions and I will answer a few of them on Fridays.

I do see value in Dr. MacCullough’s guiding questions in creating a biblically integrated unit and lesson. I envision memorizing the questions so that they are well engrained in what I am doing as I develop the units. I also plan on rewriting them so that they are more age appropriate for my students, so that when I ask specific questions to my students they can relate back to these guiding questions.

Some of the guiding questions are helpful. Others, I would need them to be explained more in depth and with examples.

I think Dr. MacCullough’s questions are thought provoking. It does seem as if the answers to these questions don’t really change a whole lot. Therefore trying to implement these guiding questions into each lesson and see how they are answered within the context of the units and lessons will be an exercise needing much practice. Hearing this lecture does provide a better understanding of the how we begin broadly with scope and sequence and then focus on our unit development before moving on to lesson planning. I think it would have been very helpful to see an example of how someone does this in an elementary classroom for a particular lesson. I am not quite sure how I see myself implementing this process yet, but I am encouraged to be more intentional in my planning process.
