Year 9 Catholic Studies Task 1 Beatitudes & Commandments Task: Design a wiki using wikispaces. An email from your Religion teacher has been sent to you, with the name of the wiki already created. On your wiki page you are expected to include the following: 1. Collect an image which best portrays the above chosen Beatitude or Commandment and use this as an image for your wiki. Use ‘Manage Wiki’, look and feel, and upload the image in logo. 2. Create your home page on the wiki (automatically generated) and on the home page give the correct bible quote which contains your chosen Beatitude or Commandment and underneath explain the meaning of the Beatitude or Commandment. 3. Using the new page function on the wiki, create a new page for each of the three people (other than those covered in class) who have lived out this Commandment or Beatitude. You should include any evidence or proof of their actions or deeds that demonstrate how they have lived out the Commandment or Beatitude. An image of the person needs to be included on each of the pages. 4. Think of a person in your own life who lives their life by following at least one Commandment or Beatitude through their example. This can be different to the chosen beatitude in part 1. 5. Interview them about what values and beliefs which are linked with the Commandments or the Beatitudes that help them to live their lives. (Create a new page called Interview with …….. and name the person interviewed). A script with questions and answers will be reproduced on this page. 6. Produce a bibliography at the end of each page which references the sources of information you have used to complete the task. You MUST follow the College diary. 7. Email the link to your completed wiki to your Religion teacher by the due date. 8. Remember copying and pasting information from other sources is plagiarism and is seen as cheating. Please ensure your work is original and your own. 9. Tip 1: Using the ‘Manage Wiki’ function, scroll down and select permissions. Set your wiki to ‘protected’ to ensure no one can tamper with your information. Tip 2: Using the ‘Manage wiki’ function to change the colours, style and appearance of your wiki.
Assessment Notification Due Date: before 8.45am on 25 March 2011 Submission method: Email the link to your wiki to your Religion teacher by the due date.
