=Activity: The Road to Emmaus=

Students spent the first session reading the scripture story "The Road to Emmaus" and discussing what the main points of the reading were. Here is the task as explained on the St Monica's senior wiki.


 * Ok, here's the scoop. I have this copy of the Road to Emmaus story from youtube. Unfortunately the clip is in a totally different language and I can't understand a word they're saying. You won't be able to understand them either, but you can help. In your table groups you need to make subtitles for the film so that it makes sense. You will need to find a copy of the original scripture (Luke 24:13-35) to help you tell the story.

The video is available from your teacher because it's too large to upload here.**

Students needed a deep understanding about what was happening in the story in order to add the subtitles. One comment that was made by a student to another was that 'You can't write that because that's not the sort of thing Jesus would have said" after the student had written a comment that seemed a bit too harsh for Jesus.
