Comparative Religion Project

 Today's schedule

Introduction to the Project

Objective: 

1. Students will examine the map of the Middle East and a series of visuals/images that illustrate the variations of the region. 

2. Students will examine the variety of groups that populate the Middle East. 
3. Compare and contrast beliefs of religions and faith traditions;
4. Evaluate similarities and differences in belief systems and rituals;
5. Encourage research and utilize interactive and experiential activities, pair and group work, group presentation and critical comparative activities
6. Develop speaking, writing and critical-thinking skills
7. Construct knowledge and understanding of world religions.

Rationale: Religion affects many aspects of public life. Governmental policies, daily practices, feelings of right and wrong, societal roles for men, women, children, etc, many times have a connection to a particular faith. Understanding the various belief system around the world will help students understand the actions taken by people of other countries as well as inside the USA.

Evidence: By comparing the various foundations, tenets, and beliefs, students will begin to identify the characteristics of faith and the reasons behind those actions.

Agenda for today: get in your groups and determine what categories are assigned to which members of your group. Use the link below (Comparative Religion Project Sheet) to assign categories to members and have one student in the group upload that doc to Google Classroom.

Once you have completed that, students can work on 1 of 2 things:

1. Start and finish Chapter 23 Section 1 questions on Page 474 
2. Work on the Religion Project Categories assigned to you
