April 20-24 - Religion


Y’all are doing great!  I’m really pleased with many of the thoughtful water reflections and thoughtful questions you have asked.  We’ve seen all year that because water is essential to life, it dictates and controls much of human history.  When people, goods and ideas MOVE from place to place, one of the strong PULL factors is clean water.

Religion has also MOVED around the world and plays a central role in human life and history.  We looked at the big three western religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam.  We will review those and look at the other two of the top five (by number of practitioners): Buddhism and Hinduism. We’ll also learn a few interesting tidbits about some other Asian or African-originated religions.

This week there are FOUR TASKS, one grade, two Zooms.  If you still need to do the Water Reflection or the Movement Questions, please keep working on those first. Remember, I’m not counting anything as a late grade, so just keep at it.

Task One – Buddhism
Task Two – Hinduism
Task Three – Some other interesting beliefs
Task Four – Religions Quiz 
  • Of course it has the same weight as all the grades this Nine Weeks.
  • You may use your notes. 
  • If you don’t have your ISN at home to review Judaism, Christianity and Islam there is a copy of my chart on the blog http://nikiconnor6thela.blogspot.com/2020/02/  It’s in February 2020.  Title of the post is “Feb. 17-21”

Last, but not least, we’ll have a zoom at 1:00 and 2:00 on Friday.  I will put the details in ItsLearning and also add them to the Itslearning calendar.  They are not mandatory, but I sure enjoy seeing y’all and want to make sure you have any answers you need.
