Stoning of Stephen

  1. What did you do for the Stephen project (ie. newspaper, comic, song, etc.)?
  • For the project, me and a friend did a video. We acted out what happened and we also acted like we were on live tv so that we could make it as real as possible. We had me be Stephen and my friend was the people.
  1. What did you do well on the project?  (or what are you proud of and what do you want me to look at when I grade it?)
  • The thing I think I did well on the project was writing the script. I think we had a good outline that helped us while we were acting it out on the video. I think I also did a good job of staying on task and getting it done during class time.
  1. How do you think you would feel if you were really observing this event?
  • If I was actually observing this event I think I would be scared and feel really bad for Stephen. If I saw why he was getting that done for standing up for God I think it would probably be hard for me to stand up for God as well after I saw that happen, I think that because I would be scared that I would be hurt and killed for my faith. I would be scared because I would also not know what was going to happen to the people that were there watching it.
  1. Re-read Acts 7:57-58. How would you feel towards Saul?
  • I would feel really bad for him because he knew at that point that something bad was going to happen. It also said that he was a young man so I would be scared for him.
  1. What do you think encouraged these early Christians? In other words, why did the early Christians keep up the faith despite the persecution?
  • I think that Stephen did encourage the Christians. He stood up for God and was a really good example to them. They kept their faith because of all the believers and great followers.
