The Loyola Institute for Ministry has created a resource for high school educators related to the film series "As I Have Done."
The Loyola Institute for Ministry (LIM) and Salt+Light Media present "As I Have Done," a 90-minute documentary series featuring Catholic sisters' contributions to sustainable development in East Africa. The film is available through LIM’s project website.
LIM has developed a free and adaptable resource intended for Catholic high school theology/religion teachers that can be used to achieve outcomes articulated in the USCCB’s high school curriculum framework. It was created for an online learning environment but can be customized for in-person courses. Feel free to share this resource and to edit it for your students. If you have any questions about the film series or this resource, contact Project Manager Claire Gallagher at cegallag@loyno.edu. We would love to hear how you use this film with your students!
