**ADRIAN WU, JASON SHUM, BERTRAND TRAN RAP SONG LYRICS:**

Good. Good is good, you gotta take off your hood, helping out people, saving them from a church steeple, whenever someone's sad, be a good lad, help 'em out, take a shout, always be happy, dance with a tip tappy, cleaning out the bins, healin' my skins.

Evil. Telling a lie, you won't score a try, punching other kids, you'll destroy their ribs, being all cheeky, you seem creepy, if you act evil, go talk to the devil.

Bertrand Tran:

Stealing: ﻿ Stealing is the illegal taking of someone else's belongings without there permission, which is bad because the victim earnt there property there for they would have to re buy it and waste money.

Drink Driving: ﻿Drink driving is when you intoxicate your self with alcohol, which is bad because it leads to serious car accidents which injuries or kills your self or others.

Murdering: ﻿Murdering is killing a human being, which is bad because the victims family and friends will be sad. There also would be money issues with the funeral.

Why we have laws?

<span style="background-color: #00ffff; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 140%;">We have laws so we could keep our country peaceful and protected from any harm or danger. If we didn't have any laws people could do what ever the wanted to do. It would make everyone do the good thing and following the ten commandments.

How do they help us to live better and more safely?

<span style="background-color: #00ffff; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 140%;">Laws help us because it will protect us from harm or danger, because it will keep criminals from doing the wrong thing because they wouldn't risk there lives jeopardy by going to jail.

What would life be like if we didn't have laws in society?

<span style="background-color: #00ffff; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 140%;">If we didn't have in in our society our society would be chaos because everybody would do anything they wanted.It would put innocent civilians in fear and depression because of all the chaos thats going around. You wouldn't be following God and the ten commandments.

<span style="background-color: #ffff00; color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace;">Stealing: <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace;">Stealing is one of the most common broken laws. This is because stealing is one the easiest crimes to commit. The victims of this crime are left sad and possibly depressed.

Speeding: ﻿Speeding is another law that is common in young male drivers. This is another very important law because over 400 people die each year from speeding.

Why have laws? We have laws in society so that we can keep people out of trouble and keep the people who want to make trouble behind bars. We also have laws because if we didn't have laws the whole world would go crazy and steel and kill and do anything they want without having any consequences.

How do they help us to live better and more safely? Laws help us to live better lives by helping us stay away from the people who dont want to have a good life. It will also stop us from being tempted to do all the things that the laws tell us not to do.

What would life be like if we didn't have laws in society? Life would be crazy and boring because if you did something wrong it would not matter if you did it. I also think that if there was no laws there would be people dead everywhere and people doing drugs everywhere.

So that they know it's a better world for them; and think if they can make it a better place.

There's a place in your heart And I know that it is love And this place could be much Brighter than tomorrow. And if you really try You'll find there's no need to cry In this place you'll feel There's no hurt or sorrow. There are ways to get there If you care enough for the living Make a little space, make a better place.

Chorus: Heal the world Make it a better place For you and for me and the entire human race There are people dying If you care enough for the living Make a better place for You and for me.

If you want to know why There's a love that cannot lie Love is strong It only cares for joyful giving. If we try we shall see In this bliss we cannot feel Fear or dread We stop existing and start living Then it feels that always Love's enough for us growing Make a better world, make a better world.

Chorus: Heal the world Make it a better place For you and for me and the entire human race. There are people dying If you care enough for the living Make a better place for You and for me.

Bridge: And the dream we would conceived in Will reveal a joyful face And the world we once believed in Will shine again in grace Then why do we keep strangling life Wound this earth, crucify it's soul Though it's plain to see, this world is heavenly Be God's glow.

We could fly so high Let our spirits never die In my heart I feel You are all my brothers Create a world with no fear Together we'll cry happy tears See the nations turn Their swords into plowshares We could really get there If you cared enough for the living Make a little space to make a better place.

Chorus: Heal the world Make it a better place For you and for me and the entire human race There are people dying If you care enough for the living Make a better place for You and for me.

Refrain (2x)

There are people dying if you care enough for the living Make a better place for you and for me. There are people dying if you care enough for the living Make a better place for you and for me.

You and for me / Make a better place You and for me / Make a better place You and for me / Make a better place You and for me / Heal the world we live in You and for me / Save it for our children You and for me / Heal the world we live in You and for me / Save it for our children You and for me / Heal the world we live in You and for me / Save it for our children You and for me / Heal the world we live in You and for me / Save it for our children

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) Copy and paste these instructions to your team's page.
 * 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...)
 * Discuss what you have read in your team.
 * 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].
 * 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...)

(As an individual - re-write each negative commandment into a positive and label your own work.)  ===

== 5. For homework, you and your partner must locate images/headlines of people who are NOT following the commandments. Paste the links or images onto your team page and provide an explanation of what the image/headline is telling us about people who have NOT followed the commandments. Explain how a failure to follow the Commandments, in general, impacts on modern society. (Locate images/stories/headlines together, but you each must write and label your own explanations). ==
