Film Watching


Do you know that I have been teaching CRK, ie Chirstian Religious Knowledge?

Sometime before Easter I decided to give as a class activity the film
watching of a cartoon film about St Josemaria. The topic of the
lesson was actually on faithfulness, tied to the stories of Abraham
and other personages of the Bible. Before the film we had several
lessons on the topic dealing on the people of the Bible. By the time
we had the film the boys were actually more conversant with the topic.
I asked them to watch very carefully and then write an essay on the
message of the film.

It is very interesting to read the essays they wrote. I learned a
number of things reading their work. Actually I kept the papers in a
folder so that I could be reading them from time to time and enjoy
what they have written. Sometimes I find them very useful to show
parents when they come to ask about their son. The evidence is so
real they just couldn't argue against what I say about their son.
