Book Description

July 2000

The Vision Books are one of the most popular and well-written series of saints' lives ever produced for young people. This Teachers' Guide now offers teachers and parents a practical means to stimulate both the spiritual growth and intellectual development of students through an organized, systematic study of seventeen biographies of holy men and women in the Vision Books series.

This guide facilitates student interaction with the spiritual insights, moral lessons, and sound academic content found in each book. It is divided into sections, each of which contains an overview of the saint's life and activities that illustrate the person's impact on the Church and his time. These activities are destined to challenge student thinking, to promote the application of spiritual insights to the reader's personal life, and to expand the reader's understanding and appreciation of the holiness of the saints.

Teachers can select any combination of activities for individual students, for small groups, or for class-wide discussion. The activities include chapter vocabulary, language in context, time line, outline maps, topics for written reports, biographical sketches, using Scripture and the Catechism, and discussion questions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful - great time saver!, July 15, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Saints of the Church: A Teacher's Guide to the Vision Books (Paperback)
Michael Allen has done a great service to parents and teachers everywhere. His outline of 17 Vision books includes the following pertinent information on each book: Overview of the Saint's Life (great for parents who don't have time to read every book that their child reads), Chapter Vocabulary, Language in Context (meaningful quotes from the story - great for copywork), Time Line (including events in the saint's life and in general history), Outline Maps (list of regions included in book, not the maps themselves), Topics for Written Reports (great for discussions, narrations, and making connections throughout all of history), Biographical Sketches (of real-life people included in the story), Turning to Scripture and the Catechism (references to applicable Bible and Catechism passages that relate to the story), and Class Discussion Questions (includes chapter references where the answer may be found). Whew!

This book is a terrific resource for anyone reading the Vision books. I highly recommend it and can't wait for the next volume!
