Slide one on the screen
Got the whole room leaning
“Number 4 will be our Works Cited of all the references we used.”
We’ve got the names, got the proof
Every page in the booth
Every source stacked up
So the truth can move
Then we point to the end
Where the last part begins
“And finally, number 5 will be the activity, which is called ‘State Your Case!’”
So bring your best line
Bring your strongest claim
If you’ve got the facts
You can say your name
State your case!
State your case!
Put your proof right there
State your case!
State your case!
Make them stop and stare
If you know it deep
State your case!
Slide four, here we go
That chapter said it slow
“An important idea Foster explains in chapter 14 is that a character doesn't have to perfectly resemble Christ to be a Christ figure.”
Not a perfect match
Not a polished frame
Just the signs in the light
That can speak the name
He said, listen close
Don’t force what you know
“He states, ‘Christ figures are where you find them, and as you find them. If the indicators are there, then there is some basis for drawing the conclusion.’”
So read between
What the story shows
When the clues line up
That’s how meaning grows
State your case!
State your case!
Put your proof right there
State your case!
State your case!
Make them stop and stare
If you know it deep
State your case!
Meaning in the details
Not a carbon copy
Look again, look again
Let the pattern talk to me
One sign, then another
Then the whole thing lands
If the indicators are there
Take your stand
State your case!
State your case!
Put your proof right there
State your case!
State your case!
Make them stop and stare
If you know it deep
State your case!
