For teachers, parents, and students, I have listed ideas for each chapter of The Temple Curtain to help kids discuss ideas, think, explore, write creatively, and express themselves artistically. Depending on the content of each chapter, there may be discussion questions, art projects. writing assignments, drama ideas, Bible exploration or internet research suggestions. There are many ideas, so choose those that work for you. A teacher might choose: *a writing or art assignment for the entire class *a group project *an individual activity or activities for students to choose The discussion questions are best used when the teacher reads a chapter to the class.
