Illuminated Church Poem

Create an illuminated poem about the Roman Catholic Church using your notes for chapter 3.  

Poems should have nine short stanzas (2 to 4 lines).  Stanzas may vary in length, they do not all have to have the same number of lines.  The first letters of each stanza much spell out THE CHURCH.  Stanza one must start with 't', stanza two with 'h', stanza three with 'e' etc.

The poem must use at least five of these content words:
religion, persecute, clergy, sacrament, Roman Catholic Church, natural law, pilgrimage, religious order.


High scoring poems will:

  • contain several illuminated letters
  • have pictures
  • be colorful
  • look good overall
  • have few or no spelling or grammar errors
  • be correctly capitalized
  • have stanzas
  • contain hand drawn elements
  • contain rhymes
Here are two examples for the letters H and C:

How emperors did persecute the early Christians in Rome
Til' Constantine did change his ways and say to them "Welcome home."

Certain people while on  pilgrimage did stay in tents.
Prayers and penance - their devotion to God was intense.
