Activities for Catholic Social Teaching offers teenagers a chance to put into action the Church's body of social teaching. Consistent with the gospel message that action is an integral component of justice, each unit involves activities that motivate teens to act in a way that inspires change. Designed with specific references to Michael Pennock's textbook Catholic Social Teaching, each unit presents a variety of hands-on activities that includes storytelling, role-plays, interviews, and analysis of contemporary media. Each unit also provides students with the opportunity to reflect prayerfully on their experiences. Concise introductions to each unit and step-by-step instructions for each activity give teachers an easy point of entry into the justice issue addressed. Includes suggested materials and several handouts. Activities also available online.
