World Religions Stations Materials

Judaism to Christianity

Station 1-- Judaism to Christianity

Materials needed: crash course 11 guided notes, your annotation color guide, essay rubric, and highlighters.

Directions: watch this video and complete the guided notes. When you are done, AS A GROUP, identify the elements of the essay that Mr. Green has utilized in his crash course using the appropriate colored highlighters.

Feel free to use your rubric to help guide you, but be sure the entire group is in agreement. You may want to jot down some annotations to help you remember key points or reasons you marked specific items for the whole class debrief.

Finished early? Great! Now consult your rubric and see where the crash course may have missed the mark. On the back, brainstorm with your group, how these points could have been met.

Buddhism

Station 2 -- Buddhism

Materials needed: Spread of Buddhism Documents, Buddhism informational reading

Finished early? Great! Work on creating individual thesis statements to answer the prompt on the first page. We will be discussing these tomorrow.

Hinduism

Station 3-- Hinduism

Materials needed: The internet, sketchnotes directions, colored pencils, index card.

Directions: Conduct an internet search and discover the origins, basic beliefs, and other important information regarding hinduism. Then read the directions and begin crafting sketch notes that explain Hinduism.

This will be homework if it isn’t completed.

Finished early? Great! Write a contextualization introduction if you were going to be writing a response to the prompt.
