Gospel Portraits: The Good News According to Matthew, Mark, Luke & John
Description: • The Gospel was written by different people for different people with the ultimate goal of sharing with them the one Good News of Jesus. Your group will focus on one of these 4 “portraits” of Jesus and present it to the class as a way of gaining a better understanding of why the Gospels were written and what that good news is all about.
Details: • Each group of 4-5 students will create a 35 minute lesson on one of the Gospels (assigned by me), based on the Ignatian method of experience, review, reflection and action: 25 minutes of “presentation/group process” and a 10 minute quiz at the beginning of the next class. The purpose of this Ignatian method is not just to acquire information but to learn with your whole person—the only real learning.
Ignatian Lesson: A Sample • Experience(c.7 min.): eg., YouTube clip, song, warm-up activity, story… • Review(c.10 min.): eg. PPt lecture, Q&A, review games, warm-up quizzes, group reviews, creative use of technology… • Reflection(c.10 min.): eg., Discussion w/ open questions, reflective writing time, group discussion… • Action(c. 3 min.): eg. Wrap-up that helps put into action what was learned • Review/Assessment(c. 5-10 min.): 15 questionQuiz (10 M/C, 5 T/F) given at beginning of following class
Review should include: • Biographical background on author • When this Gospel was written • To whom it was written and why • What image of Jesus this gospel portrays • Explanation for the meaning of the symbolic image for this Gospel • Important information that makes this Gospel unique/distinct • Sample passage/s from this Gospel as an example of its unique purpose or character • The most important R Q material for that chapter Be as creative and imaginative as you can be!
