1. Look at the sample paper as a guide, but follow the below instructions strictly

2. Look at the drafted attached paper and add to it and develop the draft into the final

3. Apart from the few weeks that need to be added to find below the twelve weeks that the instructor wants us to develop into the paper from the below instructions:

1. A Biblical study of Intimacy and Biblical Counseling

2.  Premarital Research

7. Blended families

8.  A Holistic Approach to Pre-Family Ministry

9. Finances

10. Managing and Resolving Conflict

11.  Expectations in Marriage

For this assignment, you will develop a working premarital. It must be designed and presented as a PowerPoint presentation. This is an opportunity for you to create a curriculum that will help couples accurately assess their compatibility for marriage as well as help them navigate their first three years of marriage successfully. The goal is for you to be able to actually use this in a class/small group setting or a large counseling session with a group of premarital couples. Make sure to use relevant Scripture throughout your presentation and include a slide for each homework/activity assigned along with instructions that capture your expectations for completing each homework/activity assignment.

I.    Final POWER POINT INSTRUCTIONS

For your Final, follow these curriculum guidelines:

    Make sure your name is on the cover slide/introduction of your PowerPoint slides. This indicates pride and value for the content.
    Must cover 812 weeks. Make sure each session has adequate content in your slides. Most students will have at lease 4/5 slides of content for each session.
    Must have a minimum of 35 slides. Most likely you will have more slides since this will be at least an 8 week teaching program.
    Although you may use ideas or concepts from the PrePare/Enrich or SYMBIS materials, you cannot simply cut and paste everything into your project. We can gleam many wonderful ideas from a varity of sources, this is something you want to develop as your own.
    Must include an introduction slide with your home church or communitys philosophy or mission statement on premarital counseling.
    Must include an outline slide of the teaching project (within your first few slides of introduction), what each session will cover.
    Must use current statistics to support the curriculum (sources must be cited) within the curriculum (working slides) and on the reference slide at the end.
    The curriculum must have at least 5 resources outside of the course material.
    Must include teaching notes in your notes page. This is for the students benefit once the curriculm is taught. You will find the note pages at the bottom of the slide that are buit for the project.
    Must have a significant amount of materials for each teaching sessions. Remember that you may actually teach this to a group in your church or community. Two slides on a topic is not enough to carry you and/or keep your couples attentive. Most sessions will be an hour of maybe an hour and a half. You need to content to provide for your couples in your teaching presentation.
    Must include a reference/bibilograph slide at the end.

See the sample provided in the Assignment Instructions folder to explore what the finished project may look like.  Please note that the sample is not perfect, so guide your work by the directions on this paper.

NOTE:

1.  Apart from the Bible, use atleast 7 textbooks as references
