Development Diary 4

Todays lesson was a very constructive lesson, because today we were introduced to a new way of presenting our website, before actually creating it. It involved us drawing it out like a story board and indicating were the movements occur with the website, as well as a description on each page. So myself and Patrick constructed this in our first period of our double period, though we actually submitted it in our second period. I actually found this quite useful, as it allowed myself and my group member to communicate more and allocate features, instead of just starting a website and being interrupted along the way. Also in our first period we were marked on our e-portfolio, which conatined our contract,meetings and calendar. I believe that we had done very well in this department as myself and patrick planned it in the long run.

In the second period, Ms West began marking the individual tasks, though she did not have enough time to get around to myself or my partner, even though both of our websites were complete. Also we made some further clarifications on our website and our chosen organisation. We were also reminded that our e-portfolio had to be updated before the next checkpoint, so myself and my partner resumed doing our e-portfolio. We also mucked around with dreamweaver testing out some colours etc, that we could use for our site. This was because Ms West had not yet given us feedback on our web layout.

For tommorows lesson if we get our feedback we will start our production of our website and continue to research its contents and images.

Lesson 13 Focus Question

What current real life story do you think could be used as a parable to teach a specific beatitude for Christian followers?

I think the election of President Obama is one real life story that can be used as a parable to teach a specific beatitude for Christian followers. This can be used to teach the message of forgiveness, reconciliation and moving on no matter how hard things have been in the past.

Homework Questions Week 12

·  Identify another religious text from a religion other than Christianity.

 

Another religious text from a religion other than Christianity is Nevi’im which is a scripture from the Hebrew Bible.

 

·  Describe briefly who it was written by and its purpose. 

 

This scripture was written by Joshua. It contains a history of the Israelites from the death of Moses to Joshuas own death. It writes about how Joshua is Moses successor and how he receives the command from God to cross the Jordan river.

 

 

·  Provide ONE example of the type of writing found within the document.

 

The book essentially consists of three parts:

1.      The history of the conquest of the land (1-12).

2.      The allotment of the land to the different tribes, with the appointment of cities of refuge, the provision for the Levites (13-22), and the dismissal of the eastern tribes to their homes.

3.      The farewell addresses of Joshua, with an account of his death (23, 24).

<Courtesy of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevi%27im>

 

 

·  How is it different in purpose to the bible?

There are not many differences between the Nevi`im and the Bible besides the fact that they call Joshua a prophet as he is just reffered to as Jesus disciple in the Bible.

Lesson 9 Focus Question

If you were given the opportunity to write a chapter for the bible what would you write about? What messages would you want your readers to take away?

If I was given this opportunity I would right about my own experiences as a young Catholic. From this I would like my readers to take away the message of how being a young Christian is a long ride of crossroads. You question your faith often and you begin to understand yourself and your religion a lot more.

Responce to James Harb

Well without the bible Christianly from my point of view would be exactly the same as it is today. The Bible was written over a period of 1400 to 1800 years therefore the message of our lord spread not by text but by oral. And without the bible all Christians around the world would still have the same knowledge about God, this would be possible through all his disciples, apostles and saints   

 

I do not agree with James although i do understand were he is coming from. The word of God would not have spread all over the world without the bible being written. The bible plays a very important role in the peoples knowledge about God.
