Virtues Scrapbook Assignment & Rubric

Faith Empathy Conscience Hope Self-Control Respect Kindness Love Acceptance Fairness

Virtues Scrapbook

“Let your actions speak louder than your words”

Each month we celebrate, pray about and discuss the virtues rooted in Catholic Christian Tradition, within our class and school community. We make an effort to treat other people in our lives according to the qualities of these virtues. Through reflection, we visualize and think about something carefully. Every day, you learn about, observe and practice examples of the virtues in your actions and experiences with the people in your life.

On a monthly basis, you will be required to complete a virtue reflection. Your reflection will be based on your own personal ideas and opinions, relevant to the monthly virtue being examined. You will also be required to have 3 pieces of evidence of this virtue in action. The evidence can be displayed through photographs, drawings, mementoes or a note from someone explaining how you completed the virtue. With the reflection and evidence you will create a scrapbook. The scrapbook will be marked at two separate times. Once in December covering September to December’s Virtues. The second time will be in June covering January to June’s virtues. The goal is to show how you have grown throughout the year. It will be important to not fall behind each month. You will be given class time to start the rough draft of each reflection.

You may use the following criteria to give you direction and help as you write your thoughts feelings and understanding of the virtue as well as the virtue in action:

Explain your understanding of what the virtue is and what it means
Identify and explain the significance of the virtue (why do we need this?)
Explain your evidence and reflect on your feelings that you gained about the virtue
Check your writing. Does it make sense? Proofread for spelling, punctuation and grammar errors.

Your reflection should be a minimum of one page, double spaced.

Evidence examples:

-Helping around the school (teacher, other students) -caring for a younger sibling

-caring for the environment - helping a neighbor

Try to be creative each month. Examples should not be repeated from month to month
