B. How does your principle fit with the rest of the Scripture? This principle is the one you have
written out in 1-3 sentences in the Interpretation section. If your principle is a true Biblical principle it will be reflected throughout the Scriptures. Where is the principle discovered in this Old Testament narrative found elsewhere in the Scriptures? Your explanation should be 1 paragraph (100-200 words) in length.

and explain at least one way that the principle of this narrative can be identified in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Your explanation should be 1 paragraph (100-200 words) in length.

Sample Solution

ould include temporary infection or a broken limb. However, some adjustments may be made within school to accommodate such conditions. Normal day-to-day activity includes activities which are carried out by most people on a fairly regular and frequent basis, for example using the stairs. How does the EA define Disability and Special educational Needs (SEN)? One important aspect of the EA (2010) is that not all children who are defined as disabled will have Special Educational Needs. For example, those with asthma arthritis or diabetes may not have SEN but may have rights under the EA. The EA (2010) definition for schools for disabled students comes from the EA and the definition for SEN students comes from the Education Act 1996. The impact on schools will be that there will be a significant overlap between the two groups of children. A child may fall within one or more of the definitions. The Department of Education defines children with SEN as children have a learning difficulty if they: Have a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of children of the same age Have a disability which prevents or hinders them from making use of educational facilities of a kind generally provided for children of the same age in schools w>
