Review: Year One Week 10

We took three weeks for this lesson as we didn't do the JBC every day. There was a lot of material to cover so I had to be selective. The main objective was not to fill my daughter with facts and content, but to help her appreciate the principle that God fulfilled his Word and that He was like what He said He would do, be with Moses (Ex. 3:12). I also wanted her to understand and appreciate what pagan dictatorship was. This will lead in nicely when we cover the chapter on “Government” under TMWOG (yes, I haven't started on that chapter yet! )

I basically followed the lesson plan. I must say that she enjoyed doing the little hands-on activity on the plagues very much. She made little booklets of each plague and pasted them on a sheet of paper.

I made pictures of each plague and all she did was to stick the

picture in a folded piece of paper. Then she numbered the plague

on the cover of the flip-book. She really liked doing this.

We must have done this activity 2-3 times in years past so she wasn't too thrilled we
did it again. I made a "lintel and two door-posts" (Ex. 12:22) with craft sticks and stuck them on a piece of cardboard.  She then brushed red paint (to represent blood of the lamb) over them. We did this activity when we were doing the last plague.

On the last day, after we had looked into the Song of Moses, we did a little review and discussed the concept of a pagan government and a godly government.

We will be reviewing the differences between the pagan and Christian views of man and the state more thoroughly when start on the “Government” chapter under TMWOG.
