Encylical

For RE we have been doing key ideas which helps us to know more about Jesus, popes, bishops and more! This is our second to last key idea and for this key idea we are learning about the Pope of our times which is Pope Francis. So first we had to watch a video about it and then we had to do a summary sheet which was like sumarising what was in the video, then we had to do a pope inquiry which was basically like asking questions about the topic we were doing I choose to do an Encylical that was Written By The Pope and from this I learnt a lot of information from this and found out what was a Encylical but I still can't pronouce it! But for this task we had to put in five pieces of information from our own research and then put it three questions including either; when or what, how or why, is, could or should. And then we had to answer the question again researching about it. 

I kinda of found this task difficult finding all the information and asking questions about it and answering them but overall it worked out as fine! I enjoyed learning new things and finding out what a Encylical is!

This is my inquiry!
