Questions to Think About These questions are designed to encourage participants to think about what they will be learning and how their thinking may be changed as a result of the lesson. • Video Presentation (25–35 minutes) • Video Review Questions (10–15 minutes) The questions provided in this section are designed to allow participants to evaluate what they heard in the video and think about how they should change their thinking. • Life Application (7 minutes) This section allows participants the opportunity to apply what they’ve learned to real-life situations. The collected news articles and textbook statements will be used during the appropriate lessons at this time. • Review (2 minutes) Use this time to review what you’ve talked about and allow the participants to ask any additional questions they may have. If you are unsure of the answer to a question, point them to www.AnswersInGenesis/qa, which answers many of the most commonly asked questions. You may want to begin familiarizing yourself with the content of the site so that you are better able to address the questions. • Closing Prayer (1 minute) Use this time of prayer to ask the Lord to help your group apply what they have learned. Extras • Arguments Creationists Should NOT Use This provides a list of arguments that many creationists use but which, for one reason or another, should be avoided. See www.AnswersInGenesis.org/ dont_use for a comprehensive list. • People to Know  This section provides more background information on the people mentioned or quoted in the videos and/or “creation scientists.” • Optional Activities These activities are for those who want to research the topic in more detail. • Glossary of Terms These terms may be unfamiliar to the participants. • Supplemental Materials This list is for those who would like more in-depth information on a topic. How to Get the Most Out of This Curriculum 1. Have participants read Genesis 1–11 prior to the start of this course. 2. Be flexible when you facilitate the group discussion. We have provided suggested responses, but allow participants to discuss their views, within reason, while guiding them to understand what the Bible teaches. 3. Take your time as you go through the questions—feel free to spend more time on some questions. Allow the students’ interest level to guide the discussion. 4. do not allow any one person to monopolize the discussion—be careful to include all participants. 5. If participants aren’t able to finish all the questions in the “group discussion” during the allotted time, suggest that they take some time during the week to answer them. 6. Instruct students to write down any questions they may have as they go through this course. You may want to address the questions as they arise, or wait until the last review session which will provide an opportunity to discuss the questions. If a question arises that you are unable to answer, simply tell them that you will get back to them the following week with the answer (and then visit the AiG website to find an answer), or invite them to visit www.AnswersInGenesis.org themselves to find the answer. Pretest with Answers This pretest (located in the reproducible items section on page 233) is designed to show participants their need for this course. You may want to pass out copies of the pretest and then quickly go over the answers (without going into any detail) with prospective students, telling them that if they didn’t know how to answer some questions, they need to attend the Answers Academy course to understand the correct answers. Or you may want to pass out copies of the test and then simply say, In t roduct ion: Us ing the Answers Academy Ki t 10 “If you would like to find out the answers to these questions, please join me for the Answers Academy course.” 1.
