It didn't "hit" me until this weekend that I would not be in class with you for the next FOUR days, and since we have off on Friday and Monday, I won't see some of you until next Tuesday... Yikes! Monday-Wednesday, I'm leading Safe Environment Training for the Freshman class, and then I'm headed to North Carolina on Thursday, causing me to miss 6th and 7th hour. So... This week, you've got a little vacation from me, but you will be getting to know the BIG EVENT in Lourdes: the 150th anniversary of the Blessed Mother's apparitions to St. Bernadette.
Today's assignment is four-fold:
1. First, get to know The Lourdes Project site. Click all the links on right side of page, look at past entries, etc.
2. Second, get to know THE EVENT(S): When did all this happen? What exactly happened? In what part of France did it happen? Who is Bernadette? You will learn about this through the appropriate links.
3. Third, please read about POPE BENEDICT XVI's pilgrimage (visit) to Lourdes earlier this month. In particular, look at the PROGRAM.
4. Fourth and finally, find, read, and summarize ONE article from an American newspaper (USA Today, NY Times, Washington Post, etc.) that talks about Pope Benedict's visit to Lourdes. This will be collected at the end of class.
- To find an article about the Pope's pilgrimage, go back to "Google" and search using the words "Pope Benedict" "France" "Lourdes" "visit"...
- Look at several articles and then make your choice. Don't just take the first one!
You will have another Lourdes assignment tomorrow! Be nice to the sub, and I look forward to seeing you in the hallways...
Vous me manquez!
Ms. Strafaci
PS: If you finish ahead of schedule, read BXVI's May address to the French youth about his fall visit.
