3. With this step you have two choices (you must do your own work here...) : 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...) 5. Here again, you have two choices: (complete on your own and label)
 * 1) 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...
 * 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).
 * 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).
 * 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).
 * read one of the scenarios about Human Rights and Children from Amnesty International linked here: Scenarios . Explain in a short paragraph how this relates to the Beatitudes today. (C response...)
 * 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.
