Brother John
Puritan Board Sophomore
I will be teaching a Catechism Class to our churches 7th through 12th graders. The class will be held on Wednesday nights for about 45 minutes. I want to avoid a 45 minute lecture and find ways for the kids to enjoy learning the Shorter Catechism. We have a smaller group that is under a dozen.
Here is my initial plan:
-Open in prayer
-5 minutes of review of previous questions
-10 minutes learning/reviewing that weeks question
-30 minutes working through the catechism question from a Modified Inductive Study approach
(or in other words teaching while asking specific discussion questions with a final endpoint as our goal)
-Close in prayer
Please comment, critique or give counsel. I have never been a part of a Catechism Class either as student or teacher. My main goal is to run this class in such a way that the children will get excited about Wednesday night and actually put forth an effort to learn. Thank you!
