A key component of The Word in Motion: Old Testament curriculum, the Notebooking Journal enables students to capture and personalize what they learn in an artful keepsake.
This Notebooking Journal is specifically designed with the elementary student in mind and includes an abundance of activities to help kids engage with God's Word. Everything your child learns in this course will be processed and documented somewhere on these pages. Therefore, each child will need to have his or her own notebooking journal. Please keep in mind that this resource may not be reproduced.
Each lesson begins with a coloring page for the student to color while he or she listens to the reading of the text. These pages provide opportunities for active learning while reinforcing the lesson's content. Following are activities designed to encourage creative expression and real-life application of what they're learning. These activities also increase the student's retention of names, events, the biblical narrative, and spiritual principles.
To make the parents' planning a breeze, a detailed schedule is included in the Notebooking Journal. This schedule clearly identifies the pages to read in the textbook and the pages to complete in the journal each day.
Each student will need their own Notebooking Journal to complete the course.
In this notebooking journal, you will find:
- A Suggested Schedule for completing the video teaching, textbook readings, and notebooking activities using a four-day-per-week plan
- Coloring pages
- Let's Talk About It pages, where the student can write or draw what they take away from family discussions about the stories and books of the Bible
- Take It to Heart pages for copying and memorizing Scripture
- Activity pages with creative writing and drawing prompts to help your child think about and better understand biblical events and concepts introduced in each lesson
- Prayer pages for students to write or draw their own prayers to God and record answers to prayers
