The student workbook covers the same people as the teaching activities manual. Each biblical figure has a puzzle for the young person to work with that guarantees that they have the basics of the story down, encouraging them to read about each person. A second page has a short introduction to the character that explains their place in salvation history. This page also contains reflection questions for the young people to consider as they make connections between this biblical figure and their own lives.
The teaching activities manual helps Catholic middle school teachers, parish catechists, and youth ministers further engage the students in their exploration of the Bible. The special focus of this manual is the biblical people who have important roles in salvation history. This manual provides a variety of ways to meet the needs of young people.
