Viewers will hear and learn about famous early Christians like Saint Stephen (the first Christian martyr), Saint Paul and his conversion, and Saint Peter.
How Did We Use Drive Thru History® "Acts to Revelation"
We spent the last few weeks watching the DVDs. Some week we watched 2 episodes, while less hectic weeks we watched 6. With the episodes only being 30 minutes, it's extremely easy to add into your day. I just counted watching the episode as part of our religion class for school. An added bonus for us for school is the DVD set comes with a study guide. The study guide includes a brief summary of each episode, recommended bible readings, a side road section, and 5 questions for students to ponder. These can be done verbally or if you have an older student, they can easily write out their answer for a brief lesson. The study guide is filled with stunning photographs and images of famous paintings. These photographs add a wonderful visual aspect to the study guide. One idea I had for Michael and Therese was to research one of the famous painting included in the study guide. They had to research the painting, the time period it was done, and the artist it was completed by. This was a wonderful addition to their art history class and English class.
Famous painting + Research = Research Paper
The side road section takes students on a little side road trip. It allows students to dig a little deeper and learn something they might not have otherwise been exposed to.
Parents don't worry though; the study guide does contain the answers to the 5 questions give for each episode. They are conveniently located in the back of the study guide for easy reference.
What Did We Think of Drive Thru History® "Acts to Revelation"
What's not to like! Dave Stotts leads viewers on a exciting adventure through history. His high energy keeps everyone interested. You watch one episode and can't wait to watch another. Don't be surprised if the kids ask to watch another one. Faraway places, well-known bible stories and figures, and a few corny jokes make for an adventure that is well loved by all.
