Our Catholic Faith Teacher S Manual

This Teacher's Wraparound Edition (TWE) includes the pages of the Student Text in reduced size with lessons wrapped around the margins of those pages. In the bottom gutter additional resources for the teacher are included.

This reference is an understandable and down-to-earth guide to all things Catholic. The resource is appropriate for brushing up on specific Catholic terms and concepts or learning them for the first time. (Catholic)

This teaching activities manual works with both the first and second edition of The Catholic Faith Handbook for Youth. The Teaching Activities Manual for "The Catholic Faith Handbook for Youth" is designed not as a curriculum but as a collection of activities to help teachers make their current curriculum more meaningful and effective. Each chapter coincides with a chapter in The Catholic Faith Handbook for Youth and includes several activities that address the chapter's themes. Themes include: The Creed, Liturgy and Sacraments, Christian Morality, Christian Prayer. Two appendices help teachers use the The Catholic Faith Handbook for Youth with their class. "Additional Resources" lists books, movies, and songs to use in class. "Prayer Experiences" is a collection of ten prayer services on themes present in the The Catholic Faith Handbook for Youth. The prayer services require minimal supplies and are designed to take 10 to 20 minutes.

"Understanding Catholic Christianity" offers a comprehensive overview of Catholicism for ninth graders, to serve as a foundation for other high school religion courses and faith formation experiences they will have. With pastoral sensitivity, the course's examples, stories, quotes and reflection activities bring to life the basic of the Catholic faith for adolescent hearts and minds.

The Teacher's Manual comes in a three-ring binder with a full-colour cover. The text, in two-colours, features a comprehensive introduction to using Scripture, teaching and assessment strategies, an overview of the content, and much more. Background notes accompany each theme, key concepts are explained, and clearly sequenced lesson plans with multiple options help you meet the variety of needs in your classroom. Reproducible activity sheets appear with the theme in which they are needed, and detailed, easy-to-follow instructions accompany the prayer celebrations. The manual also provides numerous questions to encourage student understanding, and assessment strategies and tools to help you evaluate their learning.
