Biblical Integration
From your list of concepts or outcomes (referred to by Chadwick in chapter seven as structural ideas) within your backward design, identify at least two concepts that can / should be integrated. At this point ask yourself:
Which concepts provide an opportunity to address worldview questions?
Which concepts need correction or amplification?
Is there a concept that is so impacted by another worldview that it needs to be identified as such and then replaced with the Truth?
How can the concept be integrated into the life of the learner?
Begin to think through the five components of the BIC template. Refer to the second page of the template for what needs to be inserted into each of the template blocks.
What light does the Bible or biblical worldview shed on this concept?
What are the specific biblical ideas, principles and references?
Write the biblically integrated concept. Make sure that the truth from the discipline remains clear within the statements. Also make sure the biblical truth is also included within the concept statement.
Finally write ways in which this idea might be integrated into life
An example of a completed template is included among the week eight links.
Your completed template should have the original concept, the biblical principle or truths, the integrated concept, and the life integration ideas (remember that life integration is something the learner would do to respond to the truth or how they should live). Additional notes and biblical references can be included on the space below the template boxes.
Provide a heading that has the subject and grade level in which the BIC will be applied.
