Religion

 

Week One

 

Do research about Father Damien of Molaki.  He was recently made a saint in the Roman Catholic Church. Write a report about his life.  If you got information from the internet about him, print that out and attach it to your report.  The reason I am asking you to do this is because you cannot plagiarize.  Any research information you find about Fr. Damien you must reword. It should be in your words not the computers. Again spelling, punctuation, grammar, capitalization and clarity of thought will count. The report should be typed in black ink, font size 12 and single spaced or written out in longhand in your best penmanship.

 

Week Two and Three

 

Watch 2 different programs on the EWTN channel.

Write up 2 different reports, one for each program watched.

 

On a sheet of paper either typed on in longhand you must have the following information
