(WT) Parable of the Good Samaritan ~ Geo Art Workshop

The "Geo-Logos" Art Workshop Lesson

You're in for a treat!

The "Geo" in this lesson's title stands for "geography" because this special lesson explores the fascinating and informative geography of the Good Samaritan parable.

The "Logos" (word) in this lesson takes your kids "down the Jericho Road" that the priest and Levite were traveling, and bridges the geographic and religious "split" between the Judean Jews and Samarian Jews. Like the parable itself, the geography behind the story becomes a metaphor for what people "think" should separate us from others, and how Jesus brings us together through his amazing answer to the "who is our neighbor" question.

The "Art" in the lesson is a classic clay map that the kids will get their hands and hearts into. It's a tactile way to teach and learn and comes with the level of "how to" detail you've come to expect from the Rotation.org Writing Team. See the adaptions for ways to adjust the materials, time, and complexity for different grades and circumstances.

GeoLogosSamThe primary writer of this lesson is Samantha Corcoran from Wichita, Kansas. "Sam" is a teacher on Sunday morning and an engineering professor during the week at Wichita State. This is her first WT experience (but not her last). You can see more of Sam's wonderful "Geo Logos" lessons on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/c/GeoLogos !

As always, members of the Writing Team helped brainstorm and polish this lesson. We hope you love it as much as we did.
