The Call of Abram: Genesis 12:1-3
The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. 2 “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.[a] 3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” |
3 Praise him, sun and moon;
praise him, all you shining stars. 4 Praise him, you highest heavens and you waters above the skies. 5 Let them praise the name of the Lord, for at his command they were created, Psalm 148:3-5 |

WHAT WILL BE ASSIGNED:
WEEK 1 & 3: Explanation
1. The first 2 weeks will be the explanation of a verse that we will have studied and diagrammed together. Please sign off online that they have broken the verse down into "bite size" pieces and put the them into a two column chart. They will then show (using the right side of the chart) observations and thoughts that we (and they) have had concerning the parts of the verse.
2. They will then summarize for you the basic context and meaning of the verse and then attempt to apply to life today. Obviously, there explanations will not be perfect or even 100% accurate, but remember this is a process. The best thing you can do as a parent is to ask good questions about what they are showing you and guide them toward good practice.
WEEK 2 & 4: Memorization
3. During these weeks students will simply be working on memorizing the verses they have previously explained. Please listen and sign off after they have said the verse with at least 90% accuracy.
4. Please feel free to question your child about the meaning of the verse during this time to help review and further concrete the ideas in their long term memory.
