Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.

This week in class, we’re reading "An Excerpt From The Story of Cain and Abel from Genesis 4" by Unknown.

"The Story of Cain and Abel from Genesis 4" explores the story of mankind's first murder, in which Cain kills his brother after the Lord is more pleased with Abel's offering than his.

As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Morality and Revenge & Betrayal as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :

"What drives a person to betray?" and "Why do people do bad things?"

Ways to support your child:

  • Ask your child about this religious text at home:
    • What was "An Excerpt From The Story of Cain and Abel from Genesis 4" about?
    • What did you learn about Morality?
    • What did you learn about Revenge & Betrayal?
  • Watch The Book of Genesis Overview – Part 1 of 2 at home with your child.
