Requirements

=**//Homework//**= = = =**//Welcome to the wonderful world of Mr. Madison's religion classes! My goal is to form young Catholic boys and girls cognitively as well as affectively in teaching and handing on the Catholic Faith. This is so crucial these times in which we live. I want to see them take their rightful place and assume their responsibilities as full members of the Body of Christ, the Church and protect them from "the tyranny of moral relativism," as our Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI has named it. I hope to accomplish this with a sense of joy for all of us. Faith and joy must go hand in hand!//**=

**Religion Maintenance Sheets (IHM Sisters-Villa Maria House of Studies)**

 * (These maintenance sheets are taken directly from the Archdiocesan Guidelines for Religion.)**

**Grading for all three classes will be as follows:**

**Maintenance Sheets: 25%** **Chapter Quizzes: 25%** **Unit Tests: 50%**

**Please note that I do not assign or require an inordinate amount of written homework and I NEVER assign homework over the weekend! Maintenance sheets will be distributed at the beginning of the week. Those for the current year are always given as homework and will be checked on the following Monday. Students are free to help one another or use online Catholic resources. Their purpose is to maintain knowledge. The maintenance sheets from the previous year will be "mini quizzes" with one block administered each day at the beginning of religion class. Again, students are free to take them home and prepare and research the block for the coming day. This is maintenance and it is "user-friendly."** __**Please note that we haven't yet started using the maintenance sheets!**__

**The best preparation for the chapter quizzes will be the chapter summaries and reviews provided in the __//Christ Our Life//__ religion books.**

**Any questions, please feel free to contact me at kmadison@olgc.org!**
