The activity utilizes the mind map technique for this exploration. The activity ends by praying Canticle of Sister Sun and Brother Moon.Ask students to find and read the conclusion of the article. Invite the STEP 1 STEP 2students to share what they think the last sentence means: The ability of Laudato si to help us see ourselves as part of an earth community birthed out of deep time is a major step in this direction. This can help you assess how deeply they understand the articles primary concept. Divide students into pairs or triads. Distribute large sheets of blank paper to each group, 11 x 17 would be ideal. Tell the groups that they will be using the sheets to create mind maps of one aspect of their connection to the earth community birthed out of deep time. If the students are unfamiliar with creating mind maps, briefly review the process with them. You can find a handout describing the mind map process at www.smp.org/resourcecenter. Note: Alternatively, the mind maps could be created and shared digitally.CLASSROOM APPLICATION 23'
