Share a biblically integrated assignment or assessment you use in your classroom. In what way(s) does it work well? Is there room for improvement? If you don’t currently have any biblically integrated assignments or assessments, share an idea you have for one.

When I tested “creativity” with my 7th graders, after discussing in class how the genesis of our creativity comes from the fact that we are created in God’s image, they were given an assignment to make a poster that reflected that.

With my choir students, I have them carefully listen to the worship songs we practice and then they describe what the songs are about. They tie the lyrics with bible verses to create a more thorough understanding of how the songs we sings apply to our faith.

I have a lot of work to do on biblical integration. An idea I have revolves English class for 6th graders, reading “Inside Out & Back Again.” The main character is a Vietnamese girl who escapes at the fall of Saigon. She’s also Buddhist. She is not welcomed as a refugee in the United States. I would like to integrate this unit, comparing Christianity to Buddhism and exploring what the Bible says about how to treat a foreigner in our land.

When my 7th graders learn about Islam and Muhammed, we also look at an article that compares 4 differences between Islam and Christianity. We identify what the Bible says and how it differs from Islam, and students are asked which of the differences do they feel is the most significant. I also have them reflect on the Great Commission, what is the value in learning about other religions, and what example does Jesus give us in interacting with people perceived to be different from us. There is room for improvement in assessment, as I did not include this in assessment.
