Student Book 501 $8.00 Teacher s Guide 505 $7.50 MIDDLE SCHOOL & JUNIOR HIGH About the Zines & Teacher Guides The Department of Religious Education has embarked on a new line of resources for teaching junior high and high school students. Called zines (from magazine), each one explores one topic of the Orthodox Christian Faith in easy-to-read bites of information and accompanying images, with many interactive elements, such as questions for reflection or things to look up in the Bible. Although the zines may be excellent sources of information when read independently, they are carefully designed to be used as classroom texts. The Teacher Guide for each zine is a comprehensive classroom unit of 4 6 thematic lessons. Each lesson s activities and discussions lead students to a deeper understanding and active application of the short texts in the zine. The lessons follow the fivestep shared Christian praxis format, described in the introduction to each guide: 1. Focusing activity: Draw students attention to the theme of the class session, using a story, allegory or symbol. 2. Name present praxis: Help students identify a part of the Orthodox Tradition or their current way of life. 3. Reflect on present praxis: Help students inquire about and consider the implications of their life or the Orthodox Tradition. 4. Access the Christian story and vision: Segue into the content of the lesson, which includes activities and discussion, in addition to the zine texts. If the students have not read the zine s passages before class, this would be the time. 5. Appropriate the story and vision: Students make the Christian story their story. Students retell the teachings in their own words, responding to and interacting with them in an authentic way. 6. Decision for lived response: Students take what they have learned and consciously decide how this lesson can be put into practice and bear fruit in their lives. For to Us a Child Is Born DRE Unwrap the story of Christ s birth to reveal the fullness of the Incarnation, beginning with the Annunciation and then the Nativity, Theophany and the Presentation of the Lord. The text unpacks the meaning of the celebration through iconography, Scripture, hymns, saints and traditions (such as the Vasilopita and home blessings). The Teacher Guide can be used flexibly during the entire holiday season! Lessons cover the many aspects of Christ s Incarnation.

52 LEGACY ICONS The Department of Religious Education offers exclusive reproductions of icons by the hand of Athanasios Clark. These icons are part of the collection of St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Shrine in Flushing, NY. Clark s clear, bright palette is radiant with divine joy. It is perfectly matched to our educational mission and the Church s theology and tradition. As Clark said, My colors reflect the fact that I ve grown up in America...This is what speaks to Americans, so I found a tradition that connects with them.

53 Legacy Icons embraces the mission of the Department of Religious Education, and together we have developed a new line of icons. Smaller than Legacy s standard icons, these are the perfect tools for building a life of prayer and faith in our youth. Yet we have not sacrificed quality. Over 20 years, I developed an archival process now used exclusively by Legacy Icons, using exquisite acid-free papers, scientific pigments, rich inks, and protective sealants. The boards we have chosen for the Department of Religious Education are as thick as those of many larger icons, allowing them to seamlessly join your family s icon corner. Legacy Icons offers beautifully-crafted icon reproductions that will retain their integrity for generations.
