This activity will center upon the practice of biblical integration. This activity should not be started until you have listened to the video on biblically integrated concepts and read chapter 7 of Christian School Curriculum: An Integrated Approach by Ron Chadwick (both in Week 8 links). Dr. Chadwick will explain the need to seek and understand the structure of a discipline as a starting point for integrating concepts. It will also emphasize the need for life integration. Using the BIC template, prepare two biblically integrated concepts by:

Refer to the backward design activity you submitted in Week 6.
From your list of concepts or outcomes (referred to by Chadwick in chapter seven as structural ideas) within your backward design, identify at least two concepts that can / should be integrated. At this point ask yourself:
Which concepts provide an opportunity to address worldview questions?
Which concepts need correction or amplification?
Is there a concept that is so impacted by another worldview that it needs to be identified as such and then replaced with the Truth?
How can the concept be integrated into the life of the learner?
Begin to think through the five components of the BIC template. Refer to the second page of the template for what needs to be inserted into each of the template blocks.
What light does the Bible or biblical worldview shed on this concept?
What are the specific biblical ideas, principles and references?
Write the biblically integrated concept. Make sure that the truth from the discipline remains clear within the statements. Also make sure the biblical truth is also included within the concept statement.
