  "source": "Teacher-created. Follows Lesson 107 (Psalm 119), whose Christ-centered action asked students to write a scripture study goal and keep it where they would see it every morning. The manual holds lessons 1–208; teacher-created days are numbered from 209.",

  "lessonObjective": "Have students turn Monday's scripture study goal into something they will actually look at — a short poem they wrote themselves, set on an image they keep on their phone.",

  "teacherNote": "VIRTUAL DAY — no class. Text the card image to every student Thursday night and again at 6:30 AM Friday. This is the third virtual Friday of the semester and it deliberately adds no new goal: it goes back to Monday's Lesson 107, where they wrote a scripture study goal and were told to keep it where they would see it every morning. The poem-image IS that goal, made visible. TWO THINGS TO SAY OUT LOUD when you send it: (1) they write the lines first and ChatGPT only sharpens them — a poem the model wrote start to finish misses the point, and they will know the difference even if you cannot always tell; (2) image models misspell words, so expect some cards to come back with a wrong word. A student who noticed it and made it try again has done the assignment; do not penalize a stubborn misspelling. What comes back is one image plus one sentence, and that is Friday's attendance and journal entry. Next class is TUESDAY 2026-09-08 — Monday is Labor Day — so this sits across five days. Open Lesson 109 (Introduction to Proverbs) by showing three or four of the images, reading the poems aloud, and asking who actually set theirs as a lock screen. Same hook Lessons 103 and 209 used.",
