LESSON PLAN OVERVIEW

The lessons plans on this site are designed so they can be used with little or no formal training. They are also completely self-contained. Everything you need to conduct a lesson, with the exception of some common household items, is contained in the lesson itself. The lessons can be downloaded by clicking on the lesson plan number next to the lesson plan description on the page for each book of lessons (eg Book 2, Book 3, etc.).

We encourage you to use the lessons plans in whole and in sequence. They have been designed so that teachers can easily guide learners through a coherent and interconnected sequence of topics. Each topic that the lesson plans cover builds upon the concepts presented in the previous lessons and topics. The first topic, "The Oneness of God" smoothly leads into the second topic, "Investigating Without Prejudice", which then leads into the third topic, "The Relationship Between God and Man", and so on.

 
 
   
DOWNLOADING LESSONS
The lessons can be downloaded by clicking on the lesson plan number next to the lesson plan description on the page for each book of lessons (eg Book 2, Book 3, etc.). The lessons plans and supplementary materials are "portable document format" (.pdf) files. You need Adobe's free Acrobat Reader program to open them. You can download Reader, or upgrade an old version (in case you get errors when you try to open the files) for free at http://www.adobe.com/reader or by following the "Adobe Acrobat Reader" on the links page.
 
 
   
PROGRESS

We are planning to provide six "books", each with approximately 30 lesson plans that could be used for most of an academic year on a weekly basis.

 
Book 1 is planned for 5-6 year olds. These lesson plans are currently under development.
 

Book 2 is intended for 7-8 year olds. We are currently focusing our efforts primarily at developing lessons for this book.The first 24 lesson plans and review lessons for the first four topics are complete.

 
Book 3 is intended for 9-10 year olds. The book is nearly complete. Thirty lesson plans are available for use.
 
Book 4 is planned for 11-12 year olds. These lesson plans are currently under development.
 
Book 5 is planned for pre-youth. We are searching for collaborators to develop lesson plans for this book.
 
Book 6 is planned for adults. The material is being formatted so that it can be placed on the web site.
