Can you believe the last co-op is nearly upon us?! Our class has hovered over the culture of the decades ranging from food to fashion. We finished up yesterday with the 80s and 90s, always an interesting time period. I'm adding both links to the videos we watched yesterday after revisiting and defining our terms "culture" and "popular" again. We had a lengthy talk about how we as Christians should be aware of what's going on around us but not necessarily partake of all things. In the world, not of the world perspective. Our job to be salt and light is not synonymous with Salt-N-Pepa.
With that lens, we watched the two videos https://youtu.be/nVizCgXhXegand https://youtu.be/F0C99a2IMPg. Afterwards we touched on the purpose of us living at this time and the responsibility we have to be a present and courageous player where God has placed us. It's by His design and we can trust that!FOR NEXT CO-OP:
Your students have been asked to share the culture specific to their families. We listed such items that make up culture. See below.
How does your family:
Communicate
have fun - seek entertainment or recreation
engage with beliefs
engage with others around your family
consume/contribute to the environment
do daily life (formal, casual, rural, town, chores/priorities, fashion -practical, trendy, food habits-preferences)
participate in any traditions (yearly, seasonally, trips/visits, plans)
engage with music (when, what kind, everyone the same or everyone different...)
If they want to show us photos or a slideshow or just tell us, it's all good! They may also bring in a family favorite treat to share as we round out the culture of the 20th century and burst into the 21st!
See you all on April 27th!
