Define the Problem: Timing in Matthew 14-16

Meet the problem.

You have read the problem. Fill in a GRASPS worksheet in response to it. (Scribbling this with paper and pencil is fine. You will not turn this in.)

Questions
Notes
Goal
What is the GOAL of the assignment? What will you be learning as you work on it? You are "Paying attention to Time" in this problem. The learning goals for this skill are on the first resource page for it.
Role
What is your ROLE in the problem? Who are you? What are you to do? Unlike many of the problems that are part of Into the New Testament, this one does not give you an explicit role. You may choose to be anyone who would need to make the product you are asked to produce. If it's important that I understand your role as I evaluate the timeline, let me know how you imagine yourself.
Situation
What is the SITUATION in which you find yourself? Describe as much as you know. You may make this up (see above), or you may just be a student in a seminary class, completing an assignment. You decide!
Product or Performance
What is the PRODUCT of your work to be? Ah, this is the only part of GRaSPs that is clear from the problem. Review the problem to discover the product.
Standards
What are the STANDARDS by which your work will be judged? Here is the rubric I use in my classes. As you meet the problem, try to relate these general standards to the specific Goal, Role, Situation and Product of this problem. By the way, when you do not work with others on the problem, the standards for collaboration will not be applied to your work.

What do you know? What do you need to know?
