Research Paper and Class Presentation   -   ‘The Fruit of the Spirit’ 

 

 

January 24, 2016

 

Parents and Students,

While our overarching study in our Bible class this year is the beginning and development of the early church, our spring semester will now focus specifically on several of the epistles Paul wrote to the churches.   Galatians is the first letter our class has been studying.  Within this epistle to the believers in the province of Galatia resides a Scripture passage best known as ‘The Fruit of the Spirit’. 

 

Galatians 5:22-23 (New Living Translation – NLT)

      But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives:

love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness

gentleness, and self-control.  There is no law against these things! 

 

 

To grasp the relevance and personal application that can be drawn from this portion of Scripture, our students will be given one 'Spirit' quality 

and . . .

Complete a 1 page Research Synopsis

Write a 1 -2 page research paper (using the Research Synopsis as 

a guide for the information required in the research paper)

Prepare a 5-10 minute oral presentation based on their research 

(including the artistic expression of the student's 'Spirit' quality)

Memorize Galatians 5:22-23 (New Living Translation - NLT)

Weeks: January 25 and February 1, 2016

Class time will be devoted to discussing the scope and content of the research synopsis sheet, the research paper and oral presentation, providing ample computer time for research, and understanding the grading rubric, for the components of this project.

   

      

Monday, February 8, 2016

Written research paper and synopsis sheet are due

 

Week of February 8 – 12, 2016

A 5 – 10 minute oral presentation (including the artistic expression component) will be given, in class 

 

The intent of this research project is for each student to achieve a more in-depth understanding of this Biblical truth, and because of the very significant personal application that can be extracted from these verses, it can be a powerful and meaningful time well spent in the lifelong spiritual development of each student.
