Biblical Studies
Yearly Goal: To be able to understand different beliefs, and perspectives of other people on life.
Quarter 1
This quarter in Biblical Studies we started learning about the books of Matthew in the Bible. We learned how Jesus taught the people around him good morals, and the things he did when he was here down on earth. We also discussed about the miracles he had accomplished, why Jesus was so successful in his teachings, and his perspectives on the pharisees. We showed our understandings from the book of Matthews, by presenting a part of it in front of class. I think that throughout this quarter I was able to understand most of the book of Matthews, and wish to keep it up.

The Book Of Matthews Presentation
CHOSEN WORK
The work I have chosen for Biblical Studies this quarter is my presentation about the book of Matthews. This was by far the most successful thing I have made so far in Biblical Studies. I was able to do my presentation well because I understood the concepts of the book, and knew what to say when my group and I presented it. This presentation was a group work, and I think though that we did pretty well in it, and that most of my group members were able to understand what they had to say. Though some required more preparation, since they didn't participate as much as other group members during the presentation. The presentation I think was something I became successful at because of the understanding of the concepts from the book, and because of the easy understanding of the morals that are written in the book.
IMPROVEMENTS
On of the things I could improve for my presentation is group communication. Though I was able to cooperate well with my group members, and eventually finish the presentation in the end. The lack of communication before the presentation, made it difficult for several members of my group to present their parts, since they didn't know what to say. This is because due to the lack of communication we weren't able to discuss in detail what everyone in our group would say during their part. I would improve this next time, by improving communication skills, and preparing more for group presentations before hand. So that everyone in our group eventually would be able to present their part well, without difficulty.
KEY CONCEPTS: CULTURE
Throughout this quarter in Biblical Studies we have been learning about our key concept. We learned more about Israel's culture from the book of Matthew, and several external sources. So that we would know how society looked like around Jesus' time. We studied how society during Jesus' time worshiped God, and how it worked. By knowing this we know how Jesus had his perspectives towards it, and how he thought the society around him about good moral values that they should apply in life.
