Grade 6 Bible, Unit 1: What Kind of Book Is This

The first unit of the Grade 6 Bible course, as a 30-page PDF. It teaches the thing most Bible curricula skip: that Scripture is a library of different kinds of writing, and that a proverb is not read the way a law is. Parent script, student page and practice sheet per lesson, answers at the back.

King James throughout. No email, no account. Print it, share it, pass it on, as long as it stays whole.

Covenant, the same shape as this one. Leave your email and we will send it in a week, when most families are partway through Unit 1. After that, two short notes about the online course, then we stop. Unsubscribe in one click.

What is in it

  1. A library, not a book
  2. Narrative, and the question a story is answering
  3. Law, and why a code is not a story
  4. Poetry, and how Hebrew rhymes
  5. Wisdom, and why a proverb is not a promise
  6. Prophecy, which is mostly not prediction
  7. Gospel, and why there are four
  8. Letters, and reading somebody else's mail

The whole year

This unit comes from Bible: How to Read the Bible, and the Life of Christ, a sixth-grade year that starts with how to read and then reads the Gospels closely.

Online, this becomes the full course, the same lessons taught one to one to your child rather than printed, alongside the rest of the year. Every Bible course in the curriculum is published in full on the Bible curriculum page, so you can read the whole thing before you decide anything.
