Instructions:
As a class, we decided to make the form of this assignment open. Each person can choose a form in which they want to convey an idea or ideas about disability in the Bible (particularly Genesis, Exodus, Job, and the Psalms - the books we have worked on so far).
Think about historical disability as we have read about and discussed it. How can we read the Bible through a disability lens?
Potential ideas for forms of projects (you are not limited to these ideas) and basic parameters:
Essay (approximately minimum of 500 words)
Zine Issue (template - you can make a copy of, download it, or recreate it in your own program)
Poster (tips on posters can be found here)
Turn in on Google Classroom
