** RELIGIOUS EDUCATION: COURSE OVERVIEW **  ** COURSE TITLE: ** Be With Me   ** COURSE CODE:  ** HRE10 ** CREDIT VALUE: ** 1.0 ** SCHOOL YEAR: ** Semester 2 (2010-2011) ** TEACHER: ** S. Cummings   ** DESCRIPTION/RALTIONALE **  This course invites students to a deeper understanding of both the joy and demands of following in the way of Christ and living out the call to discipleship as it is described in the Scriptures. Using the Beatitudes as a touchstone, students examine the attitudes and actions that characterize the Christian life, particularly in the areas of interpersonal relationships and sexuality. They are encouraged to understand and nurture within themselves the virtues which will enable them to deepen their relationship with God in and through Christ in the context of a Spirit-filled community. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;"> ** <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">HOW THIS COURSE SUPPORTS ONTARIO CATHOLIC SCHOOL GRADUATE EXPECTATIONS ** <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">The fundamental premise of this course is that both teacher and students are discerning believers formed in the Catholic faith community, intent on participating in the transformation of society. Understanding that the students operate from, and yearn to deepen their already rich spirituality, this course encourages students to articulate their beliefs, and continue to journey as reflective, creative thinkers. By raising important questions about their faith, this course leads students to a deeper understanding of their relationship with God and neighbour. This course calls students to be caring family members and responsible citizens who are capable of exercising prudent judgement based action on an informed conscience. Then, working out of an informed conscience, students will move toward responsible action based on the principles expressed in the Beatitudes. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;"> ** <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">UNIT TITLES ** <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">This course addresses the introduction and four (or more) of the following units of study: <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> ** <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">EVALUATION ** <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;">Evaluation is based on the overall expectations of the course.
