What? A project that is intended to boost your familiarity with well-known and oft-referenced stories from the Bible, one of the
cores of our culture and cultures across the world.
When? The due dates are staggered. Please make sure you check the calendar and know when your group is responsible for their
presentations.
Why? You will encounter allusions to famous Biblical characters and stories and lessons everywhere you go. Understanding these
allusions can add an extra layer of meaning to a piece of writing or art, or just make a film or TV show a little more enjoyable.
Everyone likes to be in on things, and this project will help you do that. Whether the Bible is a core part of your upbringing/religion
is not relevant to this projectthe fact is that the Bible contains many of the original stories that dictate art and literature.
Step 1: Your group will be given a section of the Bible for which you will be held responsible.
o It is your responsibility to access a Bible, either a physical version or an online version.
o Your group can all read the whole section, or you can split it up and report back to each other.
o If you are given an entire book (or several), you can focus on the allusions themselves, but make SURE you are
getting the full picture. Use your judgment.
Step 2: As a group, you will split up the required allusion presentations (detailed on the back of this paper). It may seem
easier to just look up the allusion rather than reading for real, but there is immense value in a) reading it in the language
which was intended, and b) understanding the context of what happens before, after, and as a result of your
character/event.
Step 3: On the assigned date, you will present your section of the bible and your allusions to the class using the format
detailed on the back of this page.
