ASSESSMENT TASK 3 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 so on) a short story apoem 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.
