bookmark assignment

Create a bookmark you will use for this class
(and perhaps keep the rest of your life)

Here are the requirements.

It must be no larger than 4” by 8.”
It must have a favorite idea (or ideas) you have learned from this class that you have found meaningful. It MUST be from our readings, Zanzig, Ignatius, John Paul II, anywhere in this course. It could have other things you’d want to keep in mind this year.
You must do both sides.
All lettering must be typewritten. You can do artistic lettering if you want.
On one side you must have the “Five Steps for Really Getting an Assigned Reading.”
Must have at least one picture or photo on it.

How to really get an assigned reading (variation of SQ3R).
1. Skim the assignment. If there are questions to guide the
study, read them after you do your skimming. Number the
review questions.
2. Read the assignment all the way through without any underlining or note-taking. As you read, note the answer to
the review questions by numbering the passage.
3. Go back over the reading and underline and highlight major ideas, write in margins, box key words (including
important names, dates and places)
• Underline only major points. Be careful not to underline too much.
• Pay attention to key words or phrases: "most important," "major," "three reasons."
• Note bold or italicized words.
• Box key vocabulary words, people, dates.
• Write vocabulary words (any word you cannot clearly define or properly spell) at the top of the page. Later look up the word in the dictionary.
• Write some notes in margins, especially ties to other parts of the book or course.
• Put asterisk or vertical lines next to those sections the teacher emphasizes in class lecture.
4. Takes notes on assigned reading, if needed. Do an outline or write the answers to review questions in your spiral, or whatever works best for you.
5. Study the key ideas underlined. Make sure you can answer the review questions. Study the assigned reading. Be ready for a pop quiz or test. Multiple, short efforts are often more effective than one long “cram.”

You can cut and paste the above from our website or just copy and use this one.
Please consider having your bookmark laminated, at Kinko’s or do this your self.

First Principle and Foundation
of the Spiritual Exercises

You are created to praise, reverence, and serve God your Lord, and by this means to save your soul.

The other things on the face of the earth are created for you to help you in attaining the end for which you are created.

Hence, you are to make use of them in as far as they help you in the
attainment of your end, and you must rid yourself of them in as far as they prove a hindrance to you.

Therefore, you must make yourself indifferent to all created things, as far
as you are allowed free choice and are not under any prohibition.
Consequently, as far as you are concerned, you should not prefer health to sickness, riches to poverty, honor to dishonor, a long life to a short life.

The same holds for all other things.
Your one desire and choice should be what is more conducive to the end for which you are created.
(spEx, 23)

“The basic premise of the Spiritual Exercises is that
growth and aliveness of the spirit is made only in proportion
to the surrender of self-centeredness.”
