In conjunction with the
previous unit in Religion, the students in 4V explored the various parables
told by Jesus.
A parable is a story about a
familiar subject to teach an important moral lesson. Jesus' parables are short
stories that teach a moral or spiritual lesson by an analogy or similarity. Some
aspect of an unfamiliar concept, such as the kingdom of God, was compared to
something from everyday life that could easily be understood. Jesus was the
master of teaching in parables. His parables often have an unexpected twist or
surprise ending that catches the reader's attention. They are also cleverly
designed to draw listeners into new ways of thinking, new attitudes and new
ways of acting and teach some very important lessons to the audience.
After
selecting and reading the parable as written in the Gospel, the students’ task was
to create a “Parables of Jesus” poster incorporating images about the key
elements from the parable that was selected and read about in the Bible
passage.
The
following are examples of some of the student work that was created.
