Share one or two ways you embed biblical principles in your lessons. If you don’t already do so, describe how a teacher you know does it.

This has been learning process for me last school year as I come from a public school setting where we were unable to embed biblical principles into our daily lessons. In History course we compare and contrast biblical principles to the other belief systems we discuss in course as we learn about ancient civilizations and cultures. One of the more interesting lessons was when we were learning about The Reformation. We looked at the various beliefs being encouraged by the pope and comparing those to scripture.

I use 1 Peter 3:15 to encourage students to deepen their understanding of God’s word and how it is a part of every aspect of the believer’s life. We are to be prepared to give a defense for the hope that is in us. (paraphrased)

I am a librarian and I read lots of books to the students. These books (especially fictional stories) usually have a theme/lesson, which makes it easy to naturally weave in a Biblical perspective. Students can process whether or not they believe the characters responded in a Christ honoring way. What is a Bible verse that could be the theme of this story? Etc.

It is very easy in social studies, as we study ancient civilizations and we always connect and compare religions, etc. For Reading/L.A., I do want to do more embedding there. Sometimes we do look at the characters in stories and compare them to Biblical characters or with Biblical truths.

Currently, I am using a reading curriculum that includes several moral stories, and occasionally Bible verses. I try to relate Bible stories to what we are reading on a regular basis.
