One day Joesph's father got a special coat just for him. It was long sleeve and filled with all sorts of colours, Joseph wore it every day. Then one night Joseph had a dream, he dreamed that he and his brothers were out on the field bundling our wheat together into sheaves. Then suddenly Joseph's shelf stood up on its own and then all his brothers shelfs stood up and made a circle around Joseph's shelf and bowed down to it. Joesphs brother's all thought he was crazy and started teasing him. Soon after Joseph had another dream, he dreamt that the sun, moon and eleven stars bowed down to him. This time he told his father about the dreams, his father thought he was crazy, but Joseph knew this was a sign from God.

What do we learn from the passage about God? People? The world? ( 6 marks) In this passage we learnt that God can send us messages through dreams, or through prayer or even signs that you may notice. From this you can learn to be a better person and to act like God. It can teach you not to be jealous of people and that even though it looks like he likes Joseph better, inside he likes all of the brothers equally like God and us.

** Part B: Significant People **

Choose a person and give a brief profile of the person: Who is the person?

Joseph the dreamer

Joseph's role in the bible passage is to be a nice and responsible person who cares for everything. He is not mean to his brothers and is not selfish or rude. Joseph's brother's roles are to sort of get revenge on his brother, because he always gets everything. Joseph's father brought him a new coat and his brother's got nothing. They are jealous of him because he gets everything and they get nothing. They did the bad thing and sold him. His father, Jacob, gives a whole lot of attention then the other boys. He doesn't relise that he isn't being in nice to the other sons and treats them with no respect. But he is a generous man.
 * 1) What is their role in the Bible? (2 marks)

2. What message do they present about God? People? (3 marks) The message is that not to get greedy and take things for granted like the brothers did. God made us to spread the good news not ask for everything and be mean. They have a house and that's all that could happen. But the father could be nice and love all like Jesus did and not ignore them.

3. When did the person live? - Include a map (2 marks) Joseph lives in Canaan with his 12 brothers and his father, Jacob. This is the Map of The land of Canaan.

4. What other information can you find? We found out that his mother died. That he didn't only dream of one thing he dreamt of many things like the eleven stars were bowing down to hime and the hay stacks doing the exact same thing.

5. How does the person try to keep the covenant? (What can they teach us about building a relationship with God?) (3 marks) They can teach us to be nice not like in the story and they all wanted to be the best. They teach us to hold onto it and not let go because that's like letting go of god and not following in his foot steps. They can teach us to pray to get to know god better and to build a relationship with him and he will love us.

** Part C: The Book of Psalms **

Choose a Psalm. Psalm 23 'The divine Shepherd' **A psalm of David.** The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley,I will fear no evil,for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. media type="youtube" key="ervcj18qeyg" height="345" width="420"

2. How does the psalm make you feel? This Psalm makes you feel relaxed and comforted as its talking about how God is watching over us and protecting us from the dangers of the world.

3. What does the psalm tell us about God? People? Creation? (5 marks) This story is telling us that God is the shepherd and we are the sheep. God watches over us and cares for us, just like a shpeherd loves and cares for all its sheep. It tells us that creation is God's land, it should be treated with care and shared with the rest of the world.

Group: Amelia, Ashlee, Matthew, Zac and Coby.

Week 1: We organised our groups and read through our task and infomation we had to do. We didn't get much work done due to running out of time, but we managed to read our bible story Joesph the Dreamer. Some of us were familiar with this topic as we have looked at it when we were younger but never gone into depth about it.

Week 2: We were asigned to our roles/jobs and started our research. As a group we worked well, however we found it a bit difficult to keep everyone on task and doing things. But our roles made it easier to work. Our computer shut down 3 times, so we learnt a lesson and decied to keep on saving our work as we go.
