As we continue on our journey to learn about the world’s major religions, I will be presenting the class with PowerPoints, handouts, and other media to aid in our understanding. The World Cultures book does not cover all of the information I would like for the students to have a basic knowledge of. Accordingly, I will be posting almost all of the materials presented in class so that students have more access to the information.
We have completed the study of Judaism and the Powerpoint of major concepts of this religion can be found here.
We will begin the study of Christianity tomorrow, Wednesday, December 12th, and finish up this semester with Islam next week.
NOTE TO PARENTS AND STUDENTS:
COMMON ASSESSMENT (test) ON WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12-13.
This is a comprehensive test, which means everything covered during this semester will be examined in this test.
STUDY! STUDY! STUDY!
A good source to review is your textbook! Go to “Extra Practice” at the end of the textbook and study pages 662-675. We have already reviewed most of them. Also, every chapter has a “Practice Test”. You must review up to chapter 5.
Remember: Tutorials every Monday from 3:45 to 4:45 p.m.
