Writing Journal Assignment: This week’s assignment is party of the Lutheran Schools Association “Imagine the Possibilities” theme for Lutheran Schools Month. Students should reflect on the following Bible verse:
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” –Matthew 19:26
Students may express what this Bible verse means to them by writing an essay or poem about this verse as it relates to their life or the life of someone they know. First drafts of this assignment should be done in their Writing Journal, however, final copies of this must be typed. I am happy to help students edit their work any day this week before Friday, as final submissions are due no later than Friday, 3/7. This will be a graded journal assignment and each piece will also be submitted to the LSA contest where winners will be chosen in preschool, elementary, and middle school categories.
