Directions:

On a lined sheet of paper, write a paragraph summary for each of the world religions listed bellow. Be sure to include core beliefs, size and location of the practitioners for each religion (i.e. demographics), along with any other important bits of information. Paragraphs should be minimum 5 sentences each. There are 9 religions listed, therefore I am expecting 9 paragraphs. I would remind you that this is make-up for a group project that spans four classes long, and will make up a significant portion of your quarter 2 grade.
