1. What is meant by the 10 – 20 – 30 rule.

The ‘10′ means that you really should have no more than 10 slides on your presentation powerpoint. The ‘20′ means it should only take you 20 minutes to deliver your whole prsentation and ‘30′ means that the text on your slides should be no smaller than 30 points because your audiance needs to be able to see what you have written.

2. Explain why it is important to make sure that you are effective in the presentation of your nominee.

Our whole group has to have a effective presentation because our main purpose is to justify and sell the reasons our nominee should receive the Marist of the year award. Besides that we have to keep our audiance interested in what we are explaining.

1. Read the following parables and identify the inspiring quality that Jesus is trying to teach us.

The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant
The Parable of the Persistent Widow
The Parable of the Rich Young Man

The inspiring quality that Jesus is trying to teach us is to be true to our selves and to other people. Jesus is also saying that we all should be able to forgive each other. Even to throw away the bad experiences you have had or done and keep those special moments in life.

2. Provide an example of real life situation or person who has demonstrated any of the qualities you have listed.

A real life situation would be; When you have commiteded an accident you must tell the person you have affected the truth. If you do you will feel better inside because you have taken it of your chest. And hopfully the other person will forgive you and understand it was an accident.

2. What did you find your strengths and weaknesses were?

My strengths would probably be making sure everything is done on time within my group because I’m a organized person. My weaknesses would be starting a piece of work (eg. peramble) but after I get into it it gets easier to do and finish.

1. Which part of the exposition are you responsible for?

“Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,

Inspiring people of faith put this beatitude into practise by eirther helping the homless or even going over seas to people, were poverty occurs most. These inspiring people of faith help with the feeding of young children and their parents, for everyone may have a better life. “it’s a start”
