Mr. Mazzuca
Welcome to your virtual
Grade 10 Religion course!
A prayer to start our day...
Dear Lord and Father of all, Thank you for today. Thank you
for ways in which you provide for us all. For Your protection
and love we thank you. Help us to focus our hearts and minds
now on what we are about to learn. Inspire us by Your Holy
Spirit as we listen and write. Guide us by your eternal light as
we discover more about the world around us. We ask all this in
the name of Jesus. Amen.

Microsoft Teams
● This is where the ‘live teaching’ will take place
● You will access Microsoft Teams via your Office 365 account and click on the
Teams app
● Unless otherwise stated, your camera will remain off and your audio will remain
muted as I teach the day’s lesson and go through the content I share via slides
● Think of this as your normal classroom, where you would follow along on the
slides, listen to me talk, take notes, engage in relevant discussion, ask questions
etc…
● Online behaviour should reflect that of a normal in-person classroom. Be polite
and respectful to your peers and teacher. As the Bible says, “Do for others what
you would want them to do for you. This is the meaning of the Law of Moses and
the teaching of the prophets” Matthew 7:12
Microsoft Teams App can be found on Office 365

● Slides, handouts and other documents will be posted in ‘Content’

Overview of course content...
Course Description
This course both invites and challenges the adolescent to personalize the
Gospel values and social justice principles that guide Catholics in
understanding their role in shaping culture as disciples of Jesus. Students
will explore such foundational topics as: what it means to be human,
created in God’s image, what is culture, Christ and culture, living together
in solidarity, social justice, prayer and sacrament, friendship and intimacy.
Connections between the living Church and contemporary culture are
explored in terms of what it means to be a responsible Christian
adolescent in a secularized, pluralistic world.

The course
syllabus...
Let’s play an icebreaker: Desert Island!
Scenario: You are being sent to a
desert island for a year, you may
take one movie (with DVD player),
one book and a year supply of one
food item! What would you take
and why?

Take a few moments to think and


then we will share with the class.
Virtual high school is
new for many,
including Mr. Mazzuca.
So don’t be stressed.
We will figure this out
together! Looking
forward to a fun
quadmester with you
all!
