Year 7 RE at STM

Homework is due on Friday 17 October.

This week, 7BK2 will begin work in connection with Black History Month. We will be learning about the Kick Racism Out of Football campaign. (The weeks of action are 16 – 28 October.)

Your homework? To write a poem inspired by your learning in class. You will be learning what the Bible and the Catholic Church have to say about racism, and you will be learning about what footballers have to say about racism in sport. Be inspired to write a poem encouraging people to “kick racism out”!

I look forward to sharing the best poems here on the blog, and perhaps in the More&More school magazine. Do your best!

Here are some Bible passages that might help you:

Exodus 22:21
Leviticus 19:34
Luke 10:25-37
Acts 2:1-13

Homework due in on Friday 19 September.

(Sorry – I was a bit late in putting this on the blog … but because we had a special visitor to the class, I didn’t collect it in, so I will collect it next Friday 26 September.)

Complete the worksheet on What Makes A Good Community.

Describe the actions that made your group work well together.
Describe the actions that meant that your group did not work so well together.
Describe what makes a good community.

Homework is due on Thursday 18 September.

Write a TAPS prayer.

This prayer should have four sections.

Thank you – Write a section of a prayer of thanks to God.
Adoration – Write a section with reasons why we could praise God.
Please – Write a section where you might ask God for something for yourself (supplication) or for others (intercession).
Sorry – Write a section where you confess the things you have done wrong that you feel sorry about.

It would be especially good if you could illustrate your prayer.

We could say some of the prayers in class over the next few weeks.

Homework due on Thursday 11 September 2008.

Your homework is to produce a title page on the topic of community. You should use words and pictures. The title page should be in colour. You can find examples of work from last year’s Year 7s by clicking on this link here. There is also a short animated presentation featuring many title pages from different year groups here, to give you some more ideas. I look forward to seeing your finished pages on Thursday!

The Learning Objectives for this unit are:

1) What is a community?
2) What is prayer?
3) What is the Mass?
4) What do Catholic Christians believe about the Eucharist?
