Grade 7 Scripture Study | Teacher Guide Unit 1

Grade 7 | SCRIPTURE STUDY TEACHER GUIDE

Separate parent notes for Grade 7 Scripture Study Unit 1. Read the text of Scripture in its own covenant and literary context. This is not a complete annual teaching manuscript.

Scripture | Parent Check

Scripture: Micah 6:6-8 is prophetic rhetoric; Deuteronomy 16:18-20 addresses judges and justice.

Keep Scripture within its literary and covenant setting. Distinguish what the passage explicitly states from personal application or later interpretation.

Examine Context and Application

Check that a learner identifies speaker, audience, genre, direct words and reasonable application. Do not add traditions or make a modern analogy substitute for the text. Read the whole assigned passage rather than only one isolated line.

Numbered Unit 1 Assessment Guide

These ten criteria correspond to the existing student workbook prompts. Require original evidence and accurate citations for advanced writing, historical research and contextual Scripture interpretation.

  1. 1. Identify an actual rhetorical question in the assigned portion of Micah 6 and cite the verse.
  2. 2. Micah 6:8 names doing justice, loving mercy and walking humbly with Elohim; confirm wording in the selected translation.
  3. 3. Deuteronomy 16 includes appointed times and, later, instructions concerning judges and justice; identify the exact verses assigned.
  4. 4. Cite the passages’ common concern for just conduct rather than assuming identical genres.
  5. 5. Micah speaks through prophetic discourse; Deuteronomy contains covenant instruction and legal directives.
  6. 6. Quote or faithfully paraphrase a directly stated command with a verse number.
  7. 7. Mark a reasonable inference as distinct from the explicit text.
  8. 8. Summarize each passage separately before comparing.
  9. 9. Give a carefully labeled present-day application that does not replace the written command.
  10. 10. Micah’s prophetic call to justice is not a textual cancellation of Torah; support the argument from the actual context.

Keep private assessments, distinguish supported reasoning from speculation and record independent work separately from guided correction.
