We are a connected culture, and we were created to be in
relationship with one another. However, relationships with people can also cause
pain. Adapted from their youth ministry curriculum Love & Truth,
Positive Action presents a homeschool study for senior high students designed
to help them develop healthy, God-honoring, positive, and lasting connections
with others. This is a yearlong Bible curriculum with a flexible weekly
schedule (5-day, 4-day, or 3-day plan). There are six major areas of
relationships that students will study:
You and your God
You and your family
You and your friends
You and the church
You and your community
You and the other sex
Each week includes a new memory verse, clearly stated
learning objectives, vocabulary words, activities, reflections, and discussion.
This study is dependent on parent/student interaction, but do not fret: you as
parent and teacher are equipped with the Teacher’s Manual to guide you
through this course. The lectures are fully scripted to facilitate learning and
discussion. The Teacher’s Manual comes in a 3” binder (with dividers) with the
scripted lectures, reduced student pages with suggested answers, additional
discussion questions, reproducible quizzes and unit tests, and optional
teaching resources.
Students will follow along with the content being discussed
in their full-color Student Manual. These are consumable student
workbooks where they will take notes during the lectures on pre-designed
graphic organizers with memory verses, vocabulary words, student activities,
and self-reflection areas. Each student will need their own copy of the student
manual. This is a Bible curriculum that you and you students can enjoy together
and use to build better and more meaningful relationships with those around you.
