ASSIGNMENT - RESOURCE FOR OTHERS & RATIONALE

Part A: Resource for Others

​

Using the template in the Resources section below, design and write (or audio record) a bible study resource of at least 1800 but no more than 2000 words, that could be used by a church small group comprising people from age 14 upwards, to introduce the prophet Amos, his message and how it can help us to be better disciples in our Christian lives today. This should be a single session (imagine the Diocese is producing a series of these overview resources for churches on all the prophetic books and you have been asked to produce the one on Amos). Don't ask participants to read the whole book first - you should give them key passages to read during the session (bible quotes do not form part of the word count).

You should use the knowledge you have gained from the module, putting it into an engaging and informative session that includes open discussion questions (ie they shouldn't be able to be answered simply 'yes' or 'no'). The study should help participants to grow in their Christian life and witness, and the discussion questions should help them reflect on how they will do this. We are looking for creativity in this resource, using anecdotes and examples from life today. In the Resources section you will find a Guidance sheet to help you with the assignment, please read it before you start, along with the Guide to Referencing and the two examples, as all this will help you to see what we want you to do with the material you've learnt in the sessions. The resource should be submitted to your GoogleDrive folder.

Length:

1800 words minimum, 2000 words maximum (anything under or overwill incur a loss of marks)

Part B: Rationale

​

Using the  template in the Resources section below, write (or audio record) a 1000 word rationale for your project. We expect you to reference the course material throughout. In this part of the assignment we are looking for why you made the choices you did rather than what the choices were (which we can see from the resource itself!). Reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of the finished resource and what you might do differently on another occasion. You will be marked on your ability to integrate theory and practice, to analyse and argue for your choices and your ability to reflect critically on the finished resource.  You may write this part of the assignment or record it as an audio or video file. Make sure you refer to the materials you have used in the course, especially Hayes (or the alternative text books), and include a full bibliography of any books and/or videos you read or watched to help you with the session. Submit the assignment to your GoogleDrive folder as usual.

​

Length:

1000 words or 10 minutes maximum (any overrun will incur a loss of marks)
