I'm also surprised by which parts take the most time. A few weeks ago, we had to make a PowerPoint to teach others about the worship traditions that formed us. Not only did that project take less time than I had budgeted (hurrah!), but it also made my inner artist happy, although my inner tech person was exasperated with the deficiency of the software (and unwilling to learn a new system like Canva in short order).
The project for last week seemed like it would be solidly in my skill set:
A creative activity! Imagine you are trying to explain Christian concepts of time for a
child/youth.
1) Draw your
own lectionary wheel, with informative notes on each season.
2) Draw an
infographic on the Christian concept of time, including how "Sunday"
was established as a tradition.
3) Upload
drawings as your activity submission.
*You will
not be graded on your artistic talent. ;)
I spent so much time on this one. Part of it was my fault; I didn't sketch with a pencil, so once I made a mistake, I had to start over. It was hard for me to figure out how to divide the lectionary wheel, since some seasons like the time after Easter and the time after Epiphany vary widely from year to year. And I wasn't sure what an infographic should include, the proportion of pictures to words.
I'm not going to post my work here, not until it gets graded. I would hate for the plagiarism detection software to flag the work that I turned in, because the software found it here. Plus, it speaks to another issue I had: the photo isn't as good as the work itself. I'm not sure that here you would be able to see it clearly.
Now it's off to Faith Lutheran, where in addition to preaching, I am leading a several week session to get children ready for First Communion. It's an interesting endeavor, and I'm really enjoying it.
