Details
I am an adult leader for our parish's Confirmation class this year. I have appreciated the Chosen course curriculum greatly! Even though I'm a cradle Catholic, and a product of an excellent Catholic (grade) school education, I feel like I've learned so much about the Church and Catholicism. What a great way to teach kids, but also their adult teachers, sponsors and parents. Excellent!
This program was great teaching 7th and 8th graders who were catching up on their sacraments of confession, first communion and confirmation. Loved it. After using this program for the past 8 months, I have the following recommendations:
1. Move the opening prayer to the first agenda item.
2. Move the review game from the last of the prior session to the second agenda item of the current session.
3. Move the “It’s all in the word” to the third agenda item so that there is an understanding of key words and phrases that will be taught in the current session.
That’s it! Chosen was one of the best programs I have used to teach our Catholic faith to young adults.
The Chosen program for teenagers and their Confirmation was great! It is updated to reach teens where they currently are - wasn't just old people lecturing. The program also did a great job explaining concepts in a way that made sense and practical. I would definitely recommend this program.
A great course that really does cover everything. The videos and books are a nice supplement to the classes, and the resources that come with the program give you everything you need to facilitate and guide. It was also good to have today's modern Catholic faces for the confirmands to relate to.
We have used Chosen since it came out and have never been disappointed. We were happy to see the updated videos, and hope the next update will be an improvement on the tracking capabilities. It would be nice to see which lesson they viewed, and when.
