World Religions
This week, we begin a new unit on World Religions. We will discuss and compare the Geographic Origins, founders, symbols, theism, and basic beliefs of the three monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Students will begin planning for a unit project in which they select any World Religion and complete a poster detailing important characteristics of the religion. They will also conduct an interview with another adult about the role of religion in their lives. More to come!
