Sneak Peak: Discovered Treasure: Genesis

The first book of the Curriculum is almost finished and ready for editing and formatting.  Once the details are finished with this book, it will make things much easier and faster to get you the other books, so I have taken my time with Genesis and Exodus to make sure to include a cohesive survey of the bible without gaps that affect the overall lesson plan of the full curriculum and the Word itself as it pertains to each age group of children through young adults.

I have changed the reading plan from the original rough draft for several reasons.  A few authors and graphic illustrators have lent their services and the materials they have already finished freely for editing and adaptation for our purposes.  One of which, is to provide you with as many free and downloadable materials as I can.  Secondly, our ultimate purpose is to translate and adapt the materials into the local language and culture of the people here in Asia.

I wanted to give you a sneak peak of what is to come:  Here is the Final Draft of the Reading Plan for the Book of Genesis (six weeks).  The remainder of the lessons plans will be available when we have all the work for Genesis completed and ready for download on the upcoming website for Empowering Children Today.

The remainder of the lesson plans follow more closely the rough draft in which I provided in the post on this blog:  http://empoweringchildrentoday.blogspot.com/

Reading Materials:

You can find the Bible Story Books in the Genesis Reading Plan at the following websites.  These authors and illustrators have done  a great job with them.  They have also given permission for Empowering Children Today to change, revise and edit as needed to accomplish our goals… translation for the local people here in Asia. 

*Jill Kemp:   http://www.lambsongs.co.nz/   (Note:  In the future these will be all available on the Empowering Children Today Website in 1 Page Bible Story Cards printable for Ages 3-5 to take home with them, and the book forms will be printable for ages 6-11 to take home.  They will also be revised and edited for our purpose – translation for the local people here in Asia)

**Richard Gunther:   http://www.gunther.net.nz/ , and http://www.mightymag.org/  (These will be available for printing in the future on the Empowering Children Today website to match the curriculum, and edited for our purpose – translation for the local people here in Asia)

Level 3:  I am in the process of working out details with a graphic illustrator who had done a wonderful job with a few books of the bible that I have seen for this age group.  I will give more details on where to locate and print the materials for this age group as it is available.

Level 4:  I am in the process of creating an adapted version for this age group myself.  As it each portion is finished, I will make it available to you on the Empowering Children Today website.  However, this portion will not begin for another 5 to 6 weeks while I finish the Reading and Road Map plans for the Old Testament.
