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.

1. Define the term ‘Beatitude’.

The beatitudes are eight statements taught by Jesus. They are concerned with virtue and how a believer in Jesus Christ can achieve that virtue.

2. Explain the pourpose of the beatitudes.

The purpose of the beatitudes is for us, as Christans to follow the ways of Jesus. The beatitudes are a set of rules ‘if you will’ that mainly giudes you through the right path of life, the life that Jesus had.

3. Select ONE beatitude and describe how inspiring people of faith put into practice the teachings of Jesus. Use an example to support your answer.

“Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied.”

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”

Eg. Mother Theresa helped the people who were strugeling for food and shelter (poverty) and gave them the provisions that were esential for a growing child.

1. What do you think the above image is about? Discuss.

The image above is stating which is the right and true type of role model. Either a sporting star (Andrew Johns)left, that inspires young children to play there favourite sport or a inspiring person of faith (Mother Theresa)right, a person who dedicates their own life to help others.

We can create a better sense of ‘Marist Family’ within Parramatta Marist by the following;

• When new people arrive (teachers, students & Guests) at our school we could always greet them and make them feel welcomed and honoured.

• At times we might not get along/disagree with one another and in doing that it might affect your relationship with that person (hurt their feelings). So to fix this we all should try to forgive and forget and not only that next time when in a dispute try to talk things through it and Parramatta Marist Coulg be a better and happier place.
