November 4/5--Unit 5

Unit #5: Contemporary Life ( Harvest L9 & 10, IC 4-12, IC 4-14, IC 4-18)

Unit Student Learning Outcome(s)

Students will be able to understand:

  • How has contemporary life changed in last generation?
  • What impact do cultural values and traditions have on contemporary life?
  • What influences one's interpretation and perception of what is valued in contemporary life?

Unit Biblical Integration Goal

Student will be able to

  • Connect the study of influential historical figures (such as Confucius) and Chinese history to God's sovereignty over history and finding ultimate peace and purpose in Him.

  • Hebrews 4:9 希伯来书4：9 "这样看来，必另有一安息日的安息为神的子民存留。". Explain that while historical figures like Confucius 孔子 sought wisdom and social order, true peace and lasting legacy are found when we yield our life journeys to God's ultimate plan.

  • Think-Pair-Share : Have students partner up to discuss a historical figure or admirable characteristic using unit grammar structures, reflecting on how God leads human history.

  • Sentence Frame: "难怪[历史人物名]对中国历史有很大的影响，因为他/她...... 既然人心筹算自己的道路，我们就更应该把生命交给神，在祂里面享受真正的平安。"

  • Ask 1–2 students to share their sentence aloud with the class, then memorize the verse.
