Cathy's Corner: David's Son Absalom

This is part 15 of  our study of David. The lesson was written by Cathy Whitacre and is found in 2 Samuel 15-17. I transcribe the lesson and re-create the visuals she has available. This week is a set of  Magnetic Board Visuals.

Cathy uses these visuals with a magnetic board. She cuts the pieces out, numbers them on the back (these already have the numbers on the  front for you), laminates them and adds thin magnets on the back. Put your title up first (King David & Absalom), then add and take away each visual as you teach the lesson. The numbers are listed in the lesson below. They can also be used as visuals alone, a flip chart, and/or a bulletin board. Click here to download the visuals.

The lesson was originally written by Cathy and as I transcribed I have changed the wording or added sentences. I have had to go back and change or correct a lot of mine! It makes a difference when you are writing a lesson and using it yourself, versus letting everyone else see your notes! This lesson has the numbers on the left column to match the visuals above. Also, the verses are the numbers you will see at the beginning of the paragraphs. Click here to download the lesson.
