You’ve identified the 3 Biblical perspective questions you want to use:

Reflect: Want to help your students who are visual learners reflect on your Biblical perspective questions? Want to receive a daily reminder to ask your Biblical perspective questions? If you answered “yes” to either of these questions, then keep reading.
 
I want to share a strategy that I’ve used. I’ve used it with secondary students in Bible, social studies, and English, and teachers I know have used it with K-12 students in all subjects. We think it works. We find helps visual learners; in fact, we find helps all learners reflect on Biblical perspective questions. We also find that it helps us as teachers to ask our questions.
 
What’s the strategy? Post your Biblical perspective questions in your room. Put them on a colorful bulletin board, making sure the print is big enough to be easily read from anywhere in the room. Once your questions are up, your visual learners can see them. Once your questions are up, you can see them—which will be your daily reminder to ask your questions.
 
I’ve found that as a result of posting my questions in my classroom, I asked my questions more consistently. And when I asked my questions more consistently, my students made more connections between what they were studying and what the Bible teaches.

Question: How often do you ask your Biblical perspective questions? Once a day? Week? Month? Semester? Year?
 
To help your students better connect what they study and what the Bible teaches, how often do you need to ask them? Remember, the goal is not to have a list of effective Biblical perspective questions. The goal is to help your students make connections—and to do that, you need to ask your questions.
