Original Lesson: Students worked in class individually to plan out paper and analyze images in painting. This would cumulate in a 3-page paper analyzing the different types in the painting. New Lesson: Students will collaborate with each other via the Wiki & Sync.in to understand the different types in the painting. Students will then create a 4-6 minute long VoiceThread to analyze the types in the painting.
 * Allegory of the Old Testament & New Testament**

Original Lesson: Students worked in groups in which they would decipher the deeper meaning of the parable and act out the parable to the class. They would then instruct the students on the deeper meaning of the parable New Lesson: Students will work in class in pairs to decipher deeper meaning of parable that they will still present to the class. For homework, individual students will use Strip Generator to create a comic strip of the parable. This will allow the student to still be able to collaborate for the analyzing stage, but to use his or her own creativity while creating a comic.
