Description
Session 1 Old Testament Storyboard
The introduction to any story is particularly significant because it sets up everything that follows. In this assignment, students will explore how Genesis 1-3 sets up the rest of the biblical narrative and how the unfolding OT story shows that God continues to work with his people.
The structure of this assignment is flexible. Students may write a paper, construct an outline, create a slide-show presentation, or involve any other medium that can effectively communicate the content.
- Part 1: After reading Genesis 1-3, list out the ways these chapters introduce the biblical narrative for the following categories. For each category, the student should include several robust sentences that are focused on the text. One word or sparse answers will not suffice.
What do we learn about:
- God
- Humans
- How humans interact
- The world
- The way creation reacts with the Creator
- The problem of sin
- The solution for sin
- Part 2: After reading Genesis 12:1-3, make note of the three things God promises to Abram: land, offspring (people), and blessing. Why are these three things significant? List the three, and robustly explain why they are important. How are they a part of the solution for sin in Part 1?

- Part 3: In the unfolding story of the OT, the three aspects of God’s promise to Abram continue to be fulfilled throughout the OT. Do some research on the OT storyline (think about using your textbooks, the lectures, CCU’s online resources, and good peer reviewed content such as thebibleproject.com) and cite places where these three aspects of God’s promise to Abram show up later.
- Cite at least one example from the Law, one from the Prophets, and one from the Writings. (Refer to the lecture content for specifics on the OT canon).
- Cite at least one example from the Law, one from the Prophets, and one from the Writings. (Refer to the lecture content for specifics on the OT canon).
- Part 4: Reflect on the significance of seeing the OT as an unfolding story. Conclude the assignment with an assessment of the importance of recognizing this narrative flow.
Submit your four-part assignment as a single file to the appropriate submission area.
Assignment Requirements: A paper should be 3-4 pages, double spaced; a PowerPoint Presentation should be 8-10 slides (with either written presentation notes or a voiceover of you presenting your presentation); An outline should be 2-3 pages, single spaced; other mediums should be equivalent length.
Note for Presentations: If you choose to use voiceovers in the place of detailed notes, see the “Technology Quick Guide” on the Course Dashboard for specific tips on how to use free technology to create such voiceovers, such as Screencast-o-matic or ZOOM.

Part 1
The book of Genesis is the opening text in the bible, and it offers an introduction to the
entire biblical narrative. It introduces the reader to the unfolding story captured in the whole Old
Testament and God's relationship and working with His people. This segment aims to focus on
chapters one to three in the book of Genesis and outline how these chapters introduce the biblical
narrative for the following categories.
God: In these chapters, we are introduced to God as a creator. We see him in the process
of creating everything that we can see, such as the heavens, the earth, land-water vegetation,
animals, birds, heavenly bodies and even man in His image. We also see God as the executor of
judgment over sin as he pronounces the result of man’s sin and banishes the man and his wife
from the garden.
Humans: We learn that man is a special part of God’s creation, created in the image and
likeness of God and given dominion over the entire creation. We also learn the mandate that is
given to man that is to cultivate and guard creation. In the third chapter, we are introduced to the
man who has sinned, fallen, become mortal and subjected to a curse as a result.
How humans interact: In the chapter, we learn that man is a social being who interacts
with one another and with God in companionship.
The world: The world is part of God’s creation created in perfection and was able to
sustain its creatures through its yields. However, after man sinned, the ground was cursed, and it
started producing thorns and thistles. The man had to toil for it to yield fruit.
The way creation reacts with the Creator: The creation responded to the creator and
did what he commanded it. For example, he commanded the ground, which is part of creation, to
bring forth seed-bearing plants, the sea to bring forth sea creatures, and so on, and they did.

The problem of sin: We learn that the issue of corruption came from the Woman being
deceived by the serpent and eating from the tree God had commanded them not to eat. She took
of the fruit and gave it to her husband, who was with her. Their disobedience plunged the human
race and the entire creation into sin. The two realize they were naked, and when God spoke to
them, he pronounced a curse on the snake...
