March Master Inspirements


-Read: Joan of Arc by Twain (Part 1 through Part 2 chapter 7) (next week we'll read part 2 chapters 8-30)

-Write down your favorite thoughts, quotes or questions


Then do one of the following

-Joan knew she had a mission to fulfill early in her life.  She was able to be a powerful tool in God's hands because of her pure heart and sincere desire to serve Him.  Do a word study on having a "pure" heart or "Zion".  Take a journal and find a secluded spot where you can prayerfully examine your heart, examine your motivations, intentions and desires. 

-Do a word study on "tool", "Zion", "submit" or "Kingdom of God" evaluate how you can better be a tool in God's hands in building His Kingdom and write your thoughts in your journal.

-Research Mark Twain and how he came to write this book.  Learn about the research that went into it and why he chose to write it.  Share your findings in a report or presentation to the class.

-Do a character study or chart about Joan.  Write down her internal and external characteristics.  Try to evaluate what it was that made her able to be a chosen vessel for God's work or what made her a great leader.

-Create a work of art about your favorite part of the book or something that you were inspired to do because of it.  A work of art may include (but is not limited to): painting, drawing, sculpture, skit, ect.

-Make a timeline of Joan's life and events as you read the book.

-As always, you may write your own inspirement to help you internalize the things that you learned from the book.
