As a class create a complete “qualities of being humans” list. Ask students – if a person does not have one of these qualities, are they still a person?

A handout/projection copy is available: Summary Chart Says – Read each characteristic and summarization of the information and record your summary in the column. Say – Using context clues, connections, predications, speculate on what the characteristic means. So – Draw a logical conclusion based on the summarization and speculation from columns one and two.

Using the students “And So” column of the It Says, I Say, And So handout, divide class into groups of four and have each group create a Mind Map using the statement – The human body and spirit are sacred therefore.... the group ten minutes to start their Mind Map, then have the groups rotate to each of the different Mind Map to add or expand on the idea’s their peers are also generated. After: Consolidate, Debrief, Reflect and Connect After each group has visited each mind map place the mind maps on the board and review the similarities found on each Mind Map. Be sure to highlight the points that help re-enforce the CCC points (§ 599-618, 651-655, 2258-2262, 2268-2283) Finish the activity by watching the following 5 minute video75 .
