Broken Reflections

In Julia Shield’s 10th Grade English class at Des Moines Christian School, the Storyline is “Broken Reflections.” The idea is that all humans were created in God’s image, and therefore, reflect Him. However, because of sin, that reflection is distorted, much like a broken mirror. We can catch glimpses of truth and reality, but the picture is distorted and incomplete. In Julia’s class, the students look for these glimpses and distortions of truth in the texts they read and the cultures they study; they use a growing Storyboard to share their work and reflections. Our deep hope is that as students begin to recognize God and His truth in the world around them, they will see, acknowledge, and respond to God’s glory and worth.
