Students collaborated to pull E.Q. info onto their E.Q. page from the Christianity primary source work we did yesterday, and we discussed it as a class, also. (Connect with a reliable classmate for collaboration on this.) We did a short slideshow of a contemporary primary source for Christianity for analysis and connection to the other religions we are studying as well as cultures we studied earlier in the year. (Email me and I'll reply with a Google share of the slideshow.) We began our studies of the religion Islam with a note page handout while viewing the first 30 minutes of "Islam: Empire of Faith" by PBS (available on You tube). Check-mark the items on the handout as they pop up (as a guide to some KEY points), AND take notes of additional detail in the space made available within that checklist outline. We'll continue with the remaining 25 minutes of this first portion of the video. (The remaining 2/3 of the documentary focus on the various Islamic empires, which will be deferred to our unit on Empires...later.)
