1.) Read the following parables and identify the inspiring quality that Jesus is trying to teach us.
The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant:the inspiring story in this parable is that always forgive one another. Like jesus has frogiven us he wants us to forgive our brothers and sisters for their mistakes. One example is how the king had forgiven his servant but that sevant didn’t forgive his servant for he had to pay in form of physical assualt.
The Beatitudes is the beginning portion of the Sermon on the Mount of the Gospel of Matthew. Some are also recorded in the Gospel of Luke. In the section, Jesus describes the qualities of the inhabitants of the Kingdom of heaven and indicates how each is or will be blessed. Reference; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatitudes
2. Explain the purpose of the beatitudes.
The beatitudes are eight statements taught by Jesus. They are concerned with virtue and how a believer in Jesus Christ can achieve that virtue. The Beatitudes are a map of life, a series of directives helping us on our journey to be with God. They also designate the actual condition of people who follow God’s guidelines.
3. Select ONE beatitude and describe how inspiring people of faith put into practice the teachings of Jesus. Use an example to support your answer.
The beatitude which I have selected is follows, “Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted”. Inspiring people of Faith use this beatitude in practise by giving a hand to the poor and needy in any way possible or by helping those who wish to change for the better and desire to follow the path of god. They do this in many ways, for example Mother Theresa helped those who are vulnerable, poor and disadvantaged. Even Jesus himself supports those who mourned simply by his teachings, his talent to appreciate and comfort others or even by his miracles in which he performed.

4. Discuss what you believe the difference is between inspiring people and inspiring people of faith.
The difference between the inspiring peole and the inspiring people of faith is that inspiring people can be all of us like sportsmen, actors, actress, soapies, models etc. which can do anything they want because they the money and the connections. Inspiring people of faith are the people who walk towards/like god they can be people like saints, cardinals, brothers, nuns, sisters, popes, preists etc. they have money and connection but they use it for the good on others like the poor and needy, the sick and dying,homeless and the hungry and thirsty.

One person in my life that iconsider to be inspiring is Steve Waugh. Steve Waugh was a normal child born as a twin with his brother mark in canterbury hospital in the year of 1965. He was born into a middle class family,though he was not to smart he did have a skill in cricket; something he thrived in and made an exhilerating career.
2. Discuss briefly why you consider them to be inspiring.
I consider Steve Waugh to be Inspiring because i seem to find him a very ardent person and very humble. I always come to discover that Steve Waugh is never excited about the victory or the wicket all he does is he adds a smile to his face. Although he is the man of money he like a very few people puts his money and tiem to the pooor and the needy. This is actually s difficult task because a rich man would beintereste dmore on his appearance, cars and women and their personalities will be neglected. this man is truely the complete opposite. Import atleast ONE picture and ONE hyperlink that can add to the information you have provided about your inspiring person or inspiring people in general.

Group meetings are import to hold because as a secretary you know what everybody is upto, are they doing their work or just playing around. You can also find it a time to interact with the group members.
2. Outline TWO other tools or strategies that can be used to assist group work.
Two other tools or stratergies that can be used to assist a group other than management and group meetings include keeping the agenda with you and you must stick to the agenda. One tool/statergy that you could use is that you could start to cooperate, this helps you to interact with othe students. Keep an agenda for what you will do for next lesson.
3. Discuss THREE problems that you may face from working in your group.
Three problems that can intervene group work include disagreement with ideas, suppose you say no and I say yes there is a conflict going to build up until we come up with one answer. Another problem that could arise includes the fact of blaming another person for your mistake, Eg. you didn’t do your homework and on Monday you tell the teacher that you told me to print it out when you didn’t tell me. One more idea that could pop up is that when a student doesn’t want to do his’her work he relies on others to do it for them. Group work is easy and fun when you cooperate!
It means to touch and put an impact or influence onto the routine of others by your actions, words or personality.
