Teaching/Learning Strategies1. The teacher brainstorms with students the contributions that people make to their families or close friends. Students read 1 Corinthians 12: 1-31, and discuss the gifts that members of a society bring to the human family. Determine with students what gifts help to fulfill human sacredness. Students consider if the gifts of material wealth and expressive individualism are more important than the gifts identified in the reading from the Bible. 2. The teacher organizes the students into groups of four or five. Students create a photo journal that reflects the social and technological changes of the "Baby Boom". Students collect pictures, maps, diagrams, and charts to illustrate the journal. Journals are written to provide explanations for the illustrations. The importance of the “gifts” that people bring to the family or group should be reflected in the students' journals. 3. Students in each group take on different roles in their family or group of friends. The roles and the details of the expectations for the journals are explained in Appendix 3.6.7. Teachers can modify the roles, if necessary, to suit the needs of a group of close friends. 4. The teacher meets students in a “reunion” so that roles and experiences of each group member can be shared. Discussion at the reunion should focus not only on the experiences of the individual member but on their importance to their family unit or group of friends. Assessment/Evaluation Techniques
