2020 Workshop Talk | 52:16 | All Grade Levels, Academics & Curriculum, Teacher & Classroom, Art & Music
Summary
Aaron, Catherine, and Michael will demonstrate the power that song holds to facilitate Scripture memorization. They will present original songs that they have written as part of the Scripture memorization program at their own institution. In the course of the workshop, attendees will themselves experience the effectiveness of this approach by learning several biblical texts set to song and will receive resources that will allow them to utilize the same songs in their schools. The presenters will discuss strategies for writing songs to accompany verbatim translations of inspired biblical texts. They will, finally, demonstrate how some very familiar tunes can be employed to help students learn significant portions of Scripture in short periods of time.
