Week+2

= Lesson 2: of St Paul =

In this lesson, we will discover how the early church grew from small communities and how they were nurtured by St Paul in

 his journey and by his letters to them. We have been listening to letters (epistles) from St Paul in class in the last few weeks in our morning prayer. Look at the following animation and see if you can find the places on the map where Paul sent his letters to: 2nd Journey of St Paul

See if you can find these places today in Google Earth. You will find a shortcut to Google Earth on your desktop. Consider the distances between the places Paul traveled to and the modes of transport in the 1st Century AD. See if you can research travel in this time. Write your findings in our [|Community Notebook]. Then copy your notes to your own notebook in OneNote.

This week we will be using Skype to interview Fr Grundy on Wednesday. Fr Grundy spent several years studying in Rome and is an expert on St Paul. We need to think about what we are going to him in our interview. Using class netiquette, please add your questions to the wiki below:

On Friday during reflection time, I would like you to make an entry on our class blog. Tell us why you think St Paul would have valued the communities he visited? Think about our own school community. How do we value each other?

Extension:

To gain a greater understanding on the message of Paul to his communities, I would like you to go to our Sitehoover. Here you will find links to several pages that have letters from Paul. Go to one of these sites and copy the link. Then click on the link to Tagxedo and paste your link here. Follow the instructions on the site and create a word cloud. You might like to post it on our class blog or Tweet it. Remember, your login instructions are in your workbooks. Do not share them! You also need to add an attribution, i.e. you created your cloud in Tagxedo.
