Chapter 2 blog prompts
Chapter 2 Prompt in 2 parts.
Choose one option from Part 1, and one from Part 2.
Part 1. For the first part of your journal prompts next week, choose one video to view, react and respond to in your journal. I’ll get these videos embedded in the blog when the KHS internet is back up.
This trailer (above) will give you a sense of the 1959 Movie that shaped a generation's impressions of the Ten Commandments and of Hebrew scripture.
search from this one for part 2 &3
These three clips (above) explains why the Ethiopian Orthodox claim to have custody of the ark of the covenant, the stone vessel in which the tablets of the ten commandments were stored, and why the ark is so important in Ethiopian churches.
Its not edited very well. The part we're interested in starts about 3 and a half minutes into the first video.
This third trailer is a video collage of the Epiphany celebration in Ethiopia. It shows how replicas of the ark of the covenant are venerated. There is a short segment involving animal sacrifice. If you are likely to find this disturbing, cover or shut your eyes when you see the cow lying on the ground and count to 20 slowly before watching again.
