For this lesson, we will go over the key ideas regarding prayer building and structure. This lesson will start with a prayer to model to students what they could sound like at the end of the lesson. I believe that this lesson is important, due to the lack of available prayers for students/educators. Through out this lesson students are encouraged to discuss and reflect on how this lesson ties into their prior learning (learning level depending). This can be done by stating which words or phrases they have already heard, or which suffixes of words they recognize.
This lesson uses twine as its main tool/instructional method, the reasoning for doing this, is so students can learn and share their prayer within a home setting. Another great aspect of using twine, is students are able to make multiple different prayers.
At the end of the lesson students will have a completed prayer on their paper. When closing this lesson, the main evaluation technique that could be used, is getting students to share their prayer as well as some of their thoughts regarding prayers, or discuss individually how prayer building went for them.
This lesson can range from a short amount of time or it can open up into a large scale investigation lesson.
