Church History Final

Church History Final Assignment Mrs. Sullivan

The first semester of Church History has focused on the formation of the early church. There was an incredible amount of struggle that went into creating the Church as we know it today. There have been so many people in the church that have gone before us that have paved the way. Your final assignment is to create an oral presentation and written report on a scholar/servant/disciple/saint of the church.

Directions for oral final: To be given the last week of semester
This will be presented through the program prezi.com which we will be learning next week in the library
1. Select your topic: A servant/disciple/saint of the church
2. Present a two minute presentation of the servant/disciple’s biography.
3. Present a two minute presentation explaining how this person’s life and their actions are related to being a servant/disciple of the church.
4. Present a minute reaction to how your servant/disciple has inspired you to become more like a servant/disciple of the church.

Directions for Written Final: DUE Dec. 10th
1. Compile the information you have gathered about the person in a 3 page report. Include the information you are using in your presentation.
Create a Bibliography for the sources you use.
• You MUST use book sources first (at least 2) before using the internet!!!

Your presentation/paper will be graded on the following criteria:
1) Speaking clearly with few “likes” and “you knows”. Ability to speak without total dependence on notes. Accurate time is also important.
2) Showing interest and enthusiasm for the topic.
3) Content: well organized and accurate information, showing specific examples of being a servant/disciple of the church.
4) Completeness and correctness of bibliography.
