Review the four parts of a
worldview with learners.
Help them understand
each of the stages in-
volved. Provide examples
as needed to help learn-
ers with the next step of
the process.
This section of the lesson
should take the longest
to develop. Be sure to
allow plenty of time for
learners to outline the
four sections of their
personal worldview.
As time allows, discuss
each worldview state-
ment together with the
whole group.
Some learners may need
to talk this out to be able
to process their thoughts
and figure out what
they believe. It might be
helpful for many of your
learners to do this as a
group. If you've already
done this as a group, sit
down next to the learn-
er who may need more
guidance and coach him
or her through these
sections.
