1st Quarter Report

Bible/Worldview - 7th Grade

Pioneer Family Academy

1st Quarter Report: Hymn or Christian Song

Assigned: 9/15/16

Due:

Parent initial on this page: Sept. 22

Choice of hymn/song: Oct. 6

Rough Draft: Oct. 20

Final Draft: Nov. 3

You may choose any hymn or Christian song you like. It can be a favorite one of yours, or one that has meaningful lyrics that fit with what we are learning about in this course.

You will need to cover as much as you can about the five “W” questions:

Who wrote/composed it?

What is it about, in your own words?

Where are the writers/singers from?

When was it written/composed?

Why was it written/composed?

If some of this information is unavailable, you can state that in your report.

Please include your sources for information in a bibliography and plan to use at least two sources. One of these sources should be a video or audio of the song to share in class. I have a computer to connect to a screen in class which you can use, or you can bring your own computer in and share from there.

Your report should be no more than one full typed (or neatly handwritten) page, using standard margins and font size.

You will read your report and play the recording of your hymn/song in class on Nov. 3.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at: vjones@pioneerfamilyacademy.com

PFA 7th Grade Bible/Worldview Syllabus

2016-2017

Mrs. Valorie Jones

Room 202, 1:30-2:30

Class Description:

Biblical Worldview of God and Truth: Who is God and can I really know Him?

Biblical Worldview of Self-image: Who am I and what am I doing here?

Grading:

Tests: 30%, 4 per year

These tests will cover vocabulary, memory verses, and content from the quarter. They will include one-word answers, as well as short answers.

Notebooks: 30%

I will collect the notebooks every other Tuesday and check them, returning them on Thursday of the same week so the students have time to keep up with the lessons.

Quizzes: 20%

These quizzes will cover the memory verses and theme at the end of each chapter.

Class Discussions: 10%

I will look for participation in the class discussions every day since group interaction is one of the best ways to learn and retain knowledge.

Reports: 10%, 4 per year

One per quarter: Hymn or Christian song, Missionary, Pastor/Theologian, Christian book. Students may choose a favorite, or one that they would like to learn more about. They will write a short one-page report and will share it with the class, including a powerpoint or audio (of the song), if they choose.

I will keep the blog for this class updated with homework assignments and new information as needed. Please check there, especially if you will be absent, so your student can keep up with assignments.

I look forward to teaching this class and will be available for questions before and after class, as well as by email at: vjones@pioneerfamilyacademy.com.
