By Jennifer Connett
Learn about the major themes in the genealogy of Noah in Genesis 10 with this helpful Genesis Bible lesson. This lesson includes 5 sections that address the major themes of Genesis 10 and help the reader think about the text. The lesson does not require the use of any specific translation, which makes the lesson compatible with whatever translation the reader is comfortable using.
Who is this study for and what will they learn?
This lesson is written for teens and adults who want to have a better understanding of the Bible. Teens and adults will be introduced to the major themes of Genesis 10 in an engaging way that helps you see for yourself how the text develops these themes, and why it matters.
This is what is included:
- A brief description of the major themes of Genesis 10
- A walk through of the text showing how the themes are developed in Genesis 10
- A section on application that can be used for personal growth
- Questions for each section to encourage more thought about the text

This lesson is written to be an engaging Bible study that will help students think about and read the Bible. Students will understand how the Bible is written and see that there is a cohesive story behind Scripture that will help them read the Bible and understand it better for themselves.
The lesson does not require any specific translation of the Bible, making it accessible for any student who has access to a Bible, paper or electronic. Where specific language matters, the lesson includes the necessary Biblical text so that the student does not have to try to find the right Bible translation.
The lesson is written to require almost no prep time, outside of reading the chapter of the Bible in question. Because of the format of the lesson, it is very flexible, allowing it to be used in a variety of settings such as school, home, small groups, co-ops, and Sunday school.

Poetry Escape Room - Task 1 Freebie
By Language Arts Excellence
This resources features the first task of our popular Poetry ESCAPE ROOM. Check out this freebie to get a feel for how our escape rooms operate!
There is no wonder why escape rooms are so popular; they are highly engaging and encourage people to work together and think creatively in order to solve different puzzles... all while trying to beat the clock! This meticulously-crafted resource features all of the materials you need to conduct the first task of our Poetry ESCAPE ROOM in order to get a feel for what our escape rooms are like. The activity involves creative thinking, logic, and collaboration. Your students will be having so much fun that they won’t even realize the higher order thinking skills they are applying (and the number of poems they have analyzed) in the playing of this game!
How does it work?
The ghosts of Walt Whitman, Edgar Allan Poe, Langston Hughes, William Shakespeare, and Maya Angelou have risen from the grave to lock your students inside your classroom. They are upset because they believe that students spend too much time talking about (fill in the blank with whatever is hip with students these days) and not enough time reading and writing poetry. Students cannot escape until they complete 5 poetry-based tasks to show these ghosts of poets past that they do in fact know their poetry. This resource features task 1 of the escape room:
- Match 'Em Up: In this task, students must match up poetic terms and devices with their definitions. Letters intersected by the lines between the terms and definitions will reveal their code.
Product Includes:
- Task Sign
- Task Instructions
- Match 'Em Up Worksheet
- Answer Key
This task is suitable for middle and high school students and is ideal any time during your poetry unit.

I don't know about you but sometimes I work better with a reference sheet for lessons. I created this quickie template for the Reading Street Intervention program- My SideWalks. I teach in a Resource type setting and don't always teach my own groups. This reference sheet is helpful when I have aides that need to step in to teach. It is also helpful for subs to get a quick idea of how the lesson will be run and what to cover.
