 * 2) Read "The Beatitudes" as found in Matthew 15: 1 - 12 [|The Beatitudes: Matthew 5: 1 - 12] . Also, read through the two explanations of the Beatitudes found on the wiki's "Beatitudes" page (towards bottom of navigation bar...)

 * As a team, construct a list of synonyms for the words "Blessed" and "Happy" - you can make two separate lists, upload a table, or do a word web or mind map - be creative! You can start with what is in your heads, and add to this using an online tool such as[|Synonyms online].

jesus light forgiven call forth heaven step forth || blessed bright golden joyful peace rejoice glad respectful nice fun ||
 * Blessed || Happy ||
 * holy

3. With this step you have two choices (you must do your own work here...) : The Beatitudes of this holy story is **Blessed are** the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
 * Explain what the Beatitudes mean. You should write in complete sentences and use some of your synonyms in your response. (Individually, what does each Beatitude mean? As a whole - What do they mean for us as Christians?...) (Type and label your own answer) . Brandon the beatitudes are like guides that help us through our way of live and the hard and easy objects in life.
 * Marley the beatitudes are like laws kind of like learning what to to do in a difficult scenario and tells us how we should do things
 * read this passage "The Widow's Offering" and explain in a short paragraph which Beatitudes are illustrated through this passage: [|The parable of the Widow's Offering Mark 1: 41-44] [|Explanation of the parable] (YOu will receive a C or less on this part of the criteria if you choose this option).
 * Blessed are** the poor in spirit: for theirs is the [|kingdom of heaven]

And what this lady did is that she put in money that the box and other the rich people put in less than her and gave her whole money to the poor and that mean she is a respectful and honourable person
 * Blessed are** they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled

4. What does it mean to be marginalised or outcast? As a team make a Venn Diagram or other chart which compares who the outcasts or marginalised were in Jesus' time, and who are those left on the margins of society today. (for example... a widow or a tax collector was an outcast in Jesus' time - today, it might be the homeless or refugees...)
 * OR using your bibles, or searching online, locate a parable or other passage in the New Testament which illustrates one or more of the values from the Beatitudes. Try this as a starting point: [|List of parables] . Write a short paragraph which summarises your parable and explain in your own words which Beatitudes are illustrated in your chosen parable. (for an A or B you must do this option).

 * OR think about society today - write your own description of a real life situation where someone is outcast or marginalised. Then, explain how this situation illustrates or relates to the beatitudes today.
 * What we have read is that children are being forced to join the army and have a very cruel life.There life is full of pain suffer violence anger and also hatred.they will never be able to have a normal life and or any type of fun .This is relates to the beatitudes today on how the kids are doing something good for there country and have freedom when they will fight
