ASSESSMENT TASK

The themes of the unit reflect a wide range of existential concerns that have an impact on us at various times in our lives: for example, our concern for the promotion of human dignity and our desire for flourishing.

Your first task is to identify one theme from the list below:
- The meaning and value of communities
- Ubuntu (I am because we are) and flourishing
- Virtues the "good life" and flourishing
- Human dignity and justice
- The Golden Rule and advocacy
- Self, community and belonging (local)
- Self, community and interconnectedness

Second task: think about the ways in which your selected theme connects with your own experience of a community that you belong to. The community that you belong to can be small and must be local (possibly a family, or a local volunteering group) or bigger such as a civic community or online community.

Third task: create an original imaginative piece of work that expresses the theme that you have chosen (and the way it connects with a community you belong to) and which relates to some of the principles of Catholic Social Thought.

Your creative work should be based on your own experience in a local community that you belong to and reflect the theme that you have selected.

Your creative work should be up to 300 words or the equivalent of 1-2 pages if it is a work of art.

Examples of a creative work might be:
- a diary entry
- a letter (to a political party, your local member, a leader in the community, and soon)
- a short story
- a poem
- a piece of art (a photo, a sketch, a painting, a collage, a short film etc.)

Finally, write a personal reflection in essay form on the work that you have created, explaining the relationships between your created work, your selected theme and 3 or 4 principles (in total) of Catholic Social Thought which are covered in the unit.

General Instructions: The reflection should clearly explain to readers what the relationship is between your created work, the unit content and at least 3 or 4 principles of Catholic Social Thought.

- Please see the marking rubric at the end of the Unit Outline
- The idea is to express your thoughts clearly and concisely and make your reflection as clear, accurate (in terms of your understanding of the principles) and coherent as you can.
- The reflection does require correct and full referencing. Please include a Bibliography or reference list for this assessment.
- References and in-text citations do not count in the word limit.
