I need to refresh my memory and learn more about the big picture learning objectives for D students -- so that I can be sure to emphasize the right things in preparation for R level. I thought I remembered seeing information along these lines at the TOG site or maybe on the loom. Anyone have links? Also, I would welcome anyone's input on what to emphasize for D!

Hi,
If you follow the discussion outlines in the Teacher's Notes, you won't have to wonder if you are emphasizing the right things week-to-week.

Overall though, the goal with dialectic students is to help them see connections. "This person was alive at the same time that 'x' happened." "How does this connect to what the Bible commands?" "This is a good example of why our family believes such and such." Most of the time, a dialectic student can't see these connections without some assistance, which is why we provide the discussion outlines. (If you are like me, many of the connections I am just discovering too!)

Hope this helps...
