Connect! Activity Book

Here’s how it becomes indispensable:

• In-class supplements to the chapter: Some activities lend themselves to independent and individual thought on the part of young people; other activities lend themselves to cooperative learning in pairs or groups. These activities can be used to extend the lesson or to replace other regular learning activities in the chapter, depending on the particular needs of your setting.

• Additional assessment options: An activity can be used as a preassessment at the beginning of the lesson (What do students know about this topic?) or as a review at the end of the lesson. If you are using an activity as a beginning preas­sessment, you may direct the students to return to the activity at the end of the lesson to correct their errors, and thus show how much they have learned.

• Take-home activities for homework or to be shared with the family. These activities can also be used as an opportunity for further at-home reflection on the topic of focus for the chapter or to help spark important conversations about faith at home with others.
