This document outlines the requirements for a culminating performance task assignment in a Catholic studies course. Students must choose a current social issue and defend the Catholic Church's position on it. They will submit a proposal outlining their topic, research questions, sources, and a plan to present their findings to the school community. The proposal is due April 5th and students will meet with the teacher the week of April 18th to discuss their progress. Their final presentation will be a 15-20 minute prayer service reflecting their topic and learnings. The assignment is worth 10% of the student's final grade.
