  7. Define how the assignment should be graded.
  8. Candie:  Questions to Ask Yourself:
    1. Define how does this assignment ties to the Bible?
    2. Define how does this assignment ties to the world or culture or other outside works or resources (e.g., the Noah Dictionary or evening news or modern Israel or the Church)?
    3. Is the assignment creative? [The creative aspect may indicate the assignments name.  E.g., a restaurant having a burrito named the Supreme Commander]
  9. Post an estimated time to complete the assignment.
  10. Please track your time for the first few assignments so that we can develop estimated projections for the balance of the project. 
  11. Our original collection of ideas is here.
  12. Note:  We will likely recycle assignments from one course to the next.  Therefore, develop ideas with the flexible application of using various parts of the Bible with same assignment layout.
  13. Candie, it may help if you begin by reading all the achievement objectives afresh.  Then ask yourself, Which of these assignments will be satisfied by the reading of the Bible and answering the BTS questions (which has an answer key)?  The basic use of the BTS questions will naturally address some course objectives.
  14. Please give me a requested pay rate.
