Gr. 4V Religion: “Prayer of St. Francis Project”

 

In conjunction with Remembrance Day in November, the students in 4V examined the “The Prayer of Saint Francis”, also known as the Peace Prayer.  It is a widely known Christian prayer which is attributed to the 13th-century Saint Francis of Assisi and embodies his spirit of peace, humility, simplicity and poverty. This prayer first appeared during the First World War and is commonly part of Remembrance Day liturgical celebrations in the years that followed.

 

The students’ task was to select a line from the Prayer of St. Francis and create a Poster, Power-Point Presentation, Pic Collage with its text, imagery and illustrations depicting the line’s significance, message and meaning.  The following are examples of some of the student work that was created.
