|
Requirement 2b |
|
Journal your thoughts by asking questions such as:
You may journal through writing, drawing, or electronic process. |
The questions are to be asked in relation to the Bible texts read in Requirement 2a. The point of having the Pathfinder answer these questions is to encourage him think about the text in a way that he may not have before. It is easier than we like to admit to read a long passage and not even think about it. Journaling should help prevent this.
How the journaling is done should be left to the Pathfinder.
Writing
Some people are more comfortable writing things down. This can be done with a pencil (or pen) and paper in a notebook, in a diary, on a word processor, or even on a blog or social network posting.
Drawing
Some children do not like to write and will resist it mightily. For such children, the thought of not being invested in not likely to be an effective motivator. They may prefer to illustrate the concepts instead, and that is a valid way for them to journal their thoughts.
Electronic Process
The Pathfinder may choose to write his journal entries in a word processor, a blog, or a social network. While these may be considered either writing or an "electronic process," there are other options available. For instance, Pathfinders may wish to make an audio or video recording of their thoughts. If they have the equipment, this should be encouraged. If they are not comfortable sharing the material with the club, do not force them to.
|
Requirement 3 |
|
Memorize the AY Motto. |
The AY Motto is simple:
The Love of Christ Compels Me
The motto itself is taken from 2 Corinthians 5:14.
|
Requirement 4 |
|
Illustrate the meaning of the AY Motto in an interesting way. |
An illustration is something that clarifies or proves a point. Its literal meaning is "to cast light upon." Jesus illustrated many truths through His parables - stories which helped people to understand His message. The requirement to illustrate the meaning of AY Motto is an opportunity for the Pathfinders to use their imaginations. There are many approaches to illustration, including:
- Art projects
- Drawing
- Painting
- Diorama
- Sculpture
- Comic book
- Collage
- Poster
- Drama
- Skit
- Movie
- Puppet show
- Mime play (silent acting with narration or music)
- Other
- Photography slide show
- Sign Language
- PowerPoint or compatible multimedia presention
- Blog post with text and pictures
