BOOKS ON ROTATION (WORM)
Workshop Rotation: A New Model for Sunday School
By: Neil MacQueen and Melissa Armstrong-Hansche,
Westminster/John Knox, 2000, ISBN: 0664501109
Description: This book is a basic manual taking the reader step-by-step through the process of setting up and conducting the Rotation Model of church school. The basic idea is that the church school focuses for several weeks(4-5)on a single biblical story. There are a number of labs-computer, film, drama, art, etc.-and the students rotate each week from lab to lab. This is, according to the book, more fun for kids, less work for the teachers. Churches are flocking to this approach, and there is a web site to plug the book and offer additional resources.
