“The world is charged with the Grandeur of God.”
Gerard Manley Hopkins,SJ
We understand Natural Revelation as a way by which God makes himself known to us in our everyday lives. This project invites you to discover God by listening to God's call to you through your encounter with God, others, and the beauty of the created world. You will demonstrate your understanding of the “grandeur of God” in your everyday life and present your story using the web tool Animoto on an iPad.
Animoto allows you to choose music and import images and video to create your personal story of the
- ways in which you encounter God in your everyday life
- ways by which you can discover God through the faith of others
- ways by which you can discover God in the natural world
- choose your music (and be sure you can access it on an iPad)
- choose a minimum of 25 images which reflect the above criteria
- organize your images (and video, if you like) to tell your story
- be ready to incorporate text boxes for the images when you work in Animoto
Mrs. Siwinski will help you understand the technology preparations for this project. Please take notes!
This project will be completed in class on Monday, March 17. Please bring your iPad. If you do not have an iPad you will use an iPad from the school cart. There will be a 7-point deduction for each day that I do not have your completed project.
