Hi everyone,
I had a lot of fun today, playing Jeopardy to review religion concepts and vocabulary! Here's what we did today in class:
Learning Targets:
Knowledge LT 21: I can explain how religious ideas impact the shaping of societies.
Critical Thinking LT 2: I can explain connections between events, issues, problems and concepts.
Knowledge LT 21: I can explain how religious ideas impact the shaping of societies.
Critical Thinking LT 2: I can explain connections between events, issues, problems and concepts.
Soundtrack: "God's Plan (Clean)" by Drake. Selected for today because of persistent student recommendation and because of the title's connection to the religion unit. Lyrics (not clean) here.
AGENDA 5/8/18:
News Brief – Josiah
Crash Course
Jeopardy Review
Study Time
Crash Course
Jeopardy Review
Study Time
Homework: Read the blog! Study the religion vocabulary for test next class! Know your grade and how to improve it: Russian Revolution work (found on this post), World War I work (found in this post) and finishing Country Profile Project if you have not - revisions needed, as well. Next news brief: Kanta.

News Brief: Josiah had the news brief today and selected an article about this story to talk about: NYTimes.com - Kim Pays a Second Surprise Visit to China, Heightening Diplomatic Drama. This was a breaking news story out of China, which we found in the world map packet, and also checked in about what students were up to outside of class.
The next news brief was assigned to Kanta.
We also watched the one minute BBC World News update. Here's the link to see the latest one minute update, at any time of day (it will probably be different from what we watched in class):
Crash Course: Before playing Jeopardy, I wanted to show part of a Crash Course video that might help students understand 1) Islam a bit better, 2) How religion impacts society in a variety of ways. It was only the first 4 minutes or so of this video - and there are lots of other Crash Course videos on the history of religion, if you are interested!
Study Guide: At the end of class, it was study time for the test. Please note that there will also be a question or two based on some of the religions we talked last class, too! This guide is intended for you to help review your Religion PowerPoint notes. Here it is:

Again, just another opportunity for studying, if you want. I like that the videos are closed captioned, because they are very fast paced!
Jeopardy Review: We played "Jeopardy" to review religion unit vocabulary and concepts before the text next class!
I told students that I would put a question from the test on the blog, in the hopes of encouraging students to look, so here it is:
The term that describes a "branch" of a religion is: a) Worship. b) Pillar. c) Secular. d) Sect.
Keep studying!

Be aware that Google Drive makes the sheet two pages, whereas the copy I passed out in class is just one page. Study the vocabulary and your notes from the religions we went over last class! The test will be next class! See you then! :-)
